! Thi, place, which was unknown to the
world until very recently, has suddenly
sprung into a town Of importance by be-
coming the halfway station for new line
of travel between the East and the North
west Georgian Bay, at the head of which
Colingwood is situated, is large body OF
water, about half the size of Lake Erie, and
lies northeast of the middle and upper por-
ton OF Lake Huron, with which is connect
ed at two points by straits, and thro' which
steamboats, pass into it, and thence south
ward to Colingwoo1. From this point the
the Lake Ontario Simcoe and Huron Rail-
road opens communicat ion with Toronto;
thence boats run to Oswego, from which
point freigh. and travellers so on to Now
York and other destinations.
A glance at the map is sufficient to ex-
plain the sudden favor into which this route
has come with the public. For summer
travel, where people are not compelled by
the pressure of business to make the quick
est railroad time, the Collingwood route
possesses unrivalied advantages. tits very
much shorter than that around the lakes to
Buffalo, and possesses a variety that is

Discovery OF PETRIFIED INDIAN.-Wc
learn from friend that rs the workmen up
on the Milwaukee and La Crosse Railroad
were at work upon an excavation near
Schleisingcryille, few days since, the pet
rifed remains of an Indian were found with
other relics of olden times. The remains
are perfect not having suffered by decay
His height at the present day, would be con
sidered gigantic-his body measuring sew
en- feet two inches in length. On his breast
was plate of copper, on which were en-
graved numerous hleroglyphics, the mean
ing of which can hardly be imagined. But
there they are, a record of the past Could
these hieroglyphics be read, they might,
perhaps, unveil some of the mystery which
hangs like dark cloud over the history OF
the red man. An arrow. of considerable
strength and curious construction, was also
found with him, and especially invites the
attention of antiquarians.
These remains may be seen at the store
of Caspar Liver, in Schleisingeryile. for
few days. In short time, they viii be
forwarded to Madison Washinyton Co.
Organ.
We give the above as we find it IN one Of
our exchanges, but cannot conscentiously
ask our readers to believe it, literally.
