SINGULAR DISCOVERY IN CONNECTION WITH
THE ABORIGLNES OF THLS CONTINENT.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY IN CONNECTION WITH
THE ABORIGINES OF THIS CONTINENT.
We are indebted to Mai. Anderson, Of the Indian
Department, for the particulars of singular disco
very made near Penctangulshcnc.
Some three years since, Canadians exploring in
the neighborhood of Penetanguishenc, found about
six miles from it a cavity in the earth, into which
they thrust their walking stalls and disturbed one
two skulls, but did not proceed further with the
enquiry.
From time to time the matter considered and
discussed, till at length MIR. Henry Thompson and
Mr.. Hill, of the Mohawk, determined TO visit the
spot and examine it more carefully. Provided with
fitting implements, they went on with the cxcaya-
ton, in the course of which they threw out about
fifty human skulls and a large quantity of bones.
With these were found 20 or2I copper kettles, shall
low in FORM about 3-l6ths of an inch in thickness
and 3 feet in diameter. Some among them
hoped with rude iron band, rude that the ham
stroke is scarcely discernblc except where they
are rivetted. Some of these vessels are perfect
others are fractured from the extent to which
sion has gone on-whlc many bear on the base marks
of some red pigment, which time has failed to
move. It is assumed that they would each contain
90 gallons. With these remains were found three
conch Shells which, our readers are aware
altogether unknown in the inland waters. Scattered
irrcgularly among the bones were found number Of
beads-not coral or glass porcclain-but apparent
ly sawn ont of the conch shell and perforated that
they might be strung The presumption is, that this
formed the original ''wampum," before the introduce
ton of beads such now grace the neck OF the
squaw. With these articles was found an iron axe
the rust, however, prevented any marks being dis
ccrned. The whole of these remains and implements
were placed on beaver Skins the fur of which was
destroyed, as may well be imagined, by the damp
the skin, however, remaining entire.
The care bestowed By these denizens OF the forest
on the remains of those from them, hen consi
dered relatively with their rude mode oil hie, rs

TIE IRON TRADE IN FRANCE.

The Monitcur contains the following data on the
produce and manufacture Of Iron in France. The in
dividuals employed in various works, amount TO at
least l0OO 900 men. The produce in 1915 exceeded
l66 900 900 francs The number of steam engines
was only 100 in $780, in 1915 it POI, so that it
nearly doubled in five years. The mining returns
show that the price of the mcrical quinta is only
fl 32c; and that, if the duty and carriage be de
ductcd it would be reduced to 6Oc. The extraction
from the 425 mines open our soil, in 1910, pro
duced total weight of orc of 264OOO0 tons. That
mass of Iron Ore was converted by the 432 orges IN
operation of COS into 10000 tons of Cast Iron
and 3i2 of Bar Iron. TO show the great progress
made by the Iron Industry, we give the results OF
the last twenty years:

To the friend of thy soul with injustice fraught;
Why embitter our fast fadng moments of bliss

But friendship like mine is too deep and sublime,
To be chilled in its ardor by absence or time.''
Then gentle ore Danish all donbts from thy breast,
By the kiss that so late on thy lips impressed,
BY the griefthat has bghted the bloom of my years.
By the hope that still calls forth smile thro' my tears
BY the hour of our parting, thus sweety delayed,
BY truth firmly tried, and by trust unbetrayed,
will not forget thee, till life's latest ray
In the dark night of death shall have melted away
enid ambition, fame, fortune, & power & gladness
Pain and peril and hate and contention and sadness,
Though changes The darkest and brightest betide,
Thy friendship shall sooth me- thy counsel shall guide
And thy memory at once be my sOlace and pride"

LANDING AT VERA CRUz.-The landing Of
the American army at Vera Cruz has been ac-
complished in manner that reflects the high
est credit on all concerned, and the regularity,
precision and promptness with which was eff
fected,has probably not been surpassed, if it has
been eQualled, in modern warfare.
The removal of large body of troops from
numerous transports into boats, In an open sea
their subsequent Decentralization through a
surf with all their arms and accoutrements,
without single error or accident, requires great
exertion, skill and sound Judgment.
The French expedition against Algiers, in
1880, was said 70 be the most complete arma-
ment in every respect that ever left Europe; it
had been prepared with labor, attention and ex-
perience, and nothing had been omitted to in
sure success, and particularly in the means and
facilities for landing the troops. This disem-
barkation took place in wide bay, which was
more favorable than an open beach directly on
the ocean. and las in the present instance)wth-
out any resistance on the part of the enemy
vet only nine thousand men were landed the
first day, and thirty to forty lives were lost by
accidents or upsetting of the boats; whereas,on
the present occasion, taoelre housond men were
landed in one day without, SO far as we have
heard, the slightest accidents or the loss of a
single life. The great credit of this, of course

EXTRACT FROM A SPEECH OF
Mr.. j. 8. PENDLETON
Of Virginia, on the Appropriation Bill.

HOUSE OF REPREsB NATIVES, FEB %. 1647.
The Army Appropriation Bill being before
the committee OF the Whole House on the state
of the Union
come now 10 consider the principal point |
bad in view in addressing the committee, that
which the President, in his annual MESA ge.
assigns as the leading cause of the war. He
does not assert in terms that the war was de-
clared on account of the claims of our citizens
against the government of Mexico, but he gives
seven pages of his annual message to the sub
ject of these claims, and so states and argues
the case as to make, if he did not intend to make
on the minds OF the people of this country the
impression that the war is mainly, 1T not entire
w, to vindicate the honor of our flag against
the insults offered it by Mexico, and to enforce
the payment of money justly due our citizens
for wrongs and ontrages committed upon them;
and that these wrongs and ontrages were COM
mite. upon them under such circumstances
that our government is boundto see them righ-
ted.
regret to have occasion TO refer to these
claims at all. l know personally none of the
parties, and have no feelings fo- or against them
except that natural bias and sympathy which
we ali feel for our own countrymen in ques-
ton between them and foreign government,
where there is any color of equity or justice in
their demands.
If any harm come to these claimants from
the policy of the Administration, which has pla-
ced them so prominently forward on this great
and exciting national question, let them remem-
Der that the fault is the fault of the President
and his advisers, and them alone. He commen-
ceJ this discussion. Without any necessity
or propriety in doing so, he addressed to the
country, through Congress, seven pages of his
annual message on the subject of those claims;
and there are now hundreds and thousands of
the people of the country who verify believe we
are fighting withMexico to make her pay them,
that is really the cause of the war.
= Ihave said that the President did this thing
without any necessity or propriety.
What necessity was there for his explaining
10 Congress the cause of a war, which he else
where Tvs congress itself made, and for which
he and his presses every where declare that
congress is responsible!

aings, proceeded to pay the awards. He resor
ted even TO forced loans for the means, and did
pay the four installments, when revolution
broke out that drove him from power.
His Successors had not dollar to pay with.
Their finances were, as they are now, in the
most wretched condition. Yet they made no
pretension to repudiate. They protested at all
times their anxiety and their determination to
pay the whole debt. And it is not to be doubted
they would have paid it. Ifthey had not, Con-
gress would have decided at the proper time
what Was to be done.
In regard to the claims submitted to the UNI
pire and not decided by him, Mexico agreed to
refer them to new umpire-to new umpire
to be named by the American plenipotentiary;
and agreed that he should decide on the evil
dence already submitted, and on that evidence
alone.
Ifthere be any ''outrage"-any fault or crime
beyond the crime Of heing embarrassed and
poor, in the whole conduct of Mexico, I must
confess that cannot perceive it IN the record,
and / will not admit it without proof.
As the claims never acted on by the commits
sioners under the treaty of 1889, Mexico enter
ed into new treaty in November, l843, for
the adjudication. This treaty provides fer the
settlement Of claims reciprocally of the citizens

The GALLANT DEAD AT EuESA NETA.-
The loss OF officers in Gen. Tayior's gallant
division; i'm the battle of Buena Vista, sixty FIVE
i'm number, exhibits proportion and result ua-
PARALLEL in any battle on record which we can
now call to mind. General Tayior's effective
force was about 5000 rank and file; and allow

startling conclusion is arrived at that urr losS
of commissioned officers in this sanghinafy sfs
gagement TO one-fourth of the whole number on

been proportional to that of officers, il would
exceed 1900. The unparalleled loss of offcers
