MAMMOTH MOUND. The largest mound in
the United States is on the Virginia side of the
Ohio river, about twelve miles below Wheel
ing. A western paper relates that some per-
sons living in the vicinity, who have been en-
gagged in the excavation Of one of the sides,
have suddenly struck upon an Aperture des-
cending TO subtenanean hall eleven feet wide,
and nearly sixty feet high. There are passa-
ges at one extremity leading to two spacious
vaults, in both of which human skeletons COW
cred with beads and ornaments of curious con-
struction have been found. Among the articles
worn by one of these relics, ''there WERE"
says the writer, 'one thousand seven hundred
ivory beads, five hundred sea shells, one hun
bred and fifty pieces of isingass, and five cop
per bands, bound around the wrist, seventeen
ounces also small stone, about two inches
in length, and one and half in width, with
marks resembling letters and figures, supposed

A Budget Of Mystery Some time ago a
man named John II. Parker, disappeared from
cleveland, Ohio, under mysterious circum-
stances, which led to some speculation as 10
whether he had run away, or been murdered
A letter was received by some one in Ceve-
land, addressed to the friends of Parker, which
asserted that he had been murdered by the
writers and sunk in the harbor, with bag Of
pig lead TO his neck; and sure enough as a
steamboat entered the harbor few days since,
the firing of gun brought up the body, and
the lead was found tied 10 his neck as stated
in the letter. A coroners' jury returned YER
dict that he came to his death by violence; and
there the matter rested, until letter, found in
the pocket Of coat he left at tailor's to be
repaired was read, and his intention at the
time Of writing to commit suicide, was discov-
cred from il.
