CURlous-Some years since we noticed the
circumstance Communicated by friend on the
spo,) of the discovery, in digging well in Wiz
ton. " c.. (siiuaied on tolerabIe high bank OF

surface of the greund of a stump of a tree, and
quantity Of FIRE Goals and brick bats supposed TO
be the remains OF q " domestic hearth, or haply
the forge OF a smithy; but at what period (if the
first conjecture be the right one) the last smiling
faces and contenied hears were gathered around

welded the ponderous hummer at the shrine OF
their sire, for the last time, s the great question

had during the week past, sunk another, some 40 |
or so yards from the first and in the process OF
digging, at the depth Of 25 feet, the laborerS had
come 10 large quantities OF stumps and roots OF
trees, and logs of three or four feet long mbedded
in stratum of sx IN mud, bencuth which, to the
depth of six TO eight feet stratum OF blue |
