OBITUARY ELOQUENCE.

A cores pondent Of the Burlington Free Press
has furnished TO that Journal the following ver-
ba,im report of funeral discourse, which he
says he heard delivered in the Florida House
Of Repre- sen,a,ives. The DUTY Of making it
was voluntarily assumed, and even insisted
upon by the speaker to the no small wonder
Of the House, his. utter incompe!ency being
notorious:

Silas Higgins. who was lately member Of
this branch Of the Legislature, is dead, aud he
died Yesterday in the forenoon. He had the

death. and he never lost his voice. He wac
Sc years cd, and was taken sick before he
died at his boarding house, where board can
be had at dollar and seventy five cents a
week. washing included. He was an ingeni-
Gus creatur, and in the early part Of his life
had father and mother. He was an officer
in our State militia since the last war, and
was brave and polite and his uncle, Timothy
Higgins belonged to tie Revolutionary war.

He was The first 10 war, frs, io peace, and
the first in the Hearts of his coun,rymen. and
though he was in favor Of the United States
Bank, he was the friend Of education. and

Wonderful Discouery.-We find in the

miles interior from the mouth of the Onton-
agon river A large mass Of native copper
weigh. estimated at seven tons. was founc
in the loose grounds, A as, amount Of
labor had been expended upon it. Every
inch of it had been battered aad hammered
over, and attempts had been made to pry
it up, and place il on platform. All this
was The labor Of race Of beings long
siene passed away. There is too much
skill manifested for the present race of In
Jians. and ye. the workings are too ancien.
TO have been those Of white men. Many
loads Of rude stone hammers are found
buried a few feet be meath the surface.
They are SO abundant that in stoning up a
cellar, it was found more convenient 10 use
them than to throw them out. Eemlock
trees two feet in diameter. and from ex-
animation, two and three hundred years old
are growing over the workings. and have
to be felled 10 enable the miners 10 exca-
va,e the earth. Remains of charred wedges
and levers and copper gads are found mn
der these trees and under the principal
mass. These ancient workings can be
traced for more than half a mile through
the forest, and an expenditure of $4,000
a, this time would no, pay for the accom-
pIishment Of the amount Of labor.
Their great antiquity would seem 10

no. impossible that the presen. Indians
may be the descendants of those who
wrought them.

set himself up as prophet. bot tor his part he
