One wagon after another was Unloadsd without

to callit = Remipgton's Bridge"
The largest wood-cut perhaps ever made
in the world is made of the Bridge. Every

self The Bridge to this day is the promi-

Soon after it was built, have frequently seen

Earl Talbot is most majestic and wonder

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

We find ia the Boston Atlas several inter
sting communications from correspondent
n the copper mine region of Lake Superior.
One of them details some remarkable dis
eoveries which have been recently made. a
ew miles interior from the mouth of the On
onagon river. A large mass of native copper.
weight estimated at seven tons, was found in
loose ground. A vast amount of labor had
been expended upon it. Every inch of it had
heen hammered over, and attempts had been
made TO pry it up, and place il on platform
All this was the labor of a race of beings long
since passed away. There is too much skill
manifested for the present race OF Indians, and
vet the workings are too ancient TO have been
those Of white men, Many loads of rude
stone hammers are found buried few feet
below the surface. They are so abundant
that IN stOning up cellar it was found more
convenient to use them than TO throw them
out Hemlock trees two feet in diameter.
and from examination two and three hundred
years Old are growing over the workings, and
nave TO be fetied to enable the miners to exca-
