still terrifying the city Of Mexico, but

Probable Discovery Of the History
of a Former Race,

The Lower Sandusky (Ohio) Demo.
crat states that about two miles from
that village, on land known as the "Kerr
Tract there is an ancient mound, cir
cular at the base, about thirty-nine feet
in diameter, rising ovalIy to a point,
which issurmounted by an oaken stump,
probably originally two feet in diane,
ter, which is almost totally decayed
from age. A few days since, som
boys dug into the mound; and nearly
under the stump, at a depth of three
feet, a skeleton was found, much de-
cayed. but portions oft in afair degree
Of preservation. Near the head were
found two stone hatchets, an arrow
head, a stone pipe, and, far more sim
gular, a lot of plates, apparently ising-
glass, which are covered with lines and
hieroglyphics Of different and beautiful
colors. The colors and workmanship
betoken a more advanced and entirely
different state of the arts than has been
heretofore discovered in the remains of
the Indian tribes. Some of the plates
were destroyed, but there are fifteen
preserved. They are circular, oval in
and about seven inches by ten
in size. A pipe-bowl, beautifully finish
ed from stone, was also found; the
bowl of which is nearly round, rises
from a base, on the bottom of which
are the figures "146l." Measures have
been taken, under the supervision oil
some intelligent citizens, further TO ex-
plore this singular mound. There is
little doubt that these plates contain
history Of some forme. race that
inhabited this country, and further
discoveries will be awaited with i'm.

But few are aware how numerous,
in the United States, is the Catholic
population. From the statistics pub
lished by order of the Arch Bishop of
the United States, for 1S47, we obtain
the following facts:
In the Diocese Of Louisville, 81 10000;
OF Cincinnati, 10000; Detroit, 10000;
Vincennes, $1,000; Dubuque, $500;
Pittsburgh, $4,000; Little Rock, 700;
