AN ANCIENT RELlc.-The edito,
ofthe Wheeling Times has been shown
a piece Of mica taken from the breast
ola skeleton exhuned from a mound
on the Mcclure farm, near Short
Greek, Ohio, which bears on it an in
scription dated 1887. The inscrip-
ton is in English, and seems designed
to commemorate some deed of an In
dian named Trem-nede, who died to
save the lives Of William WEIGH and
his family. The editor of the Times
properly remarks that "when it is re-
membered that this inscription bears
date but IS years after the discovery
Of the country by Columbus. ri
years before the permanent settlement
Of the country in the east by any
English of whom we have any histori-
cal knowledge, and over $50 years
prior to the first known settlement of
this region Of country, and that this
is intended to commemor-
,te a singular service to the family of
he writer, it becomes a theme for
peculation."
