Antiouities,

We have now in our possession for
safe keeping and as nucleus of collee-
ton of curiosities, sonie very curious and
singular articles made of copper. They
were found near the west shore of the
river, about mile above the mouth. at
thess T 8eTs By thoss degnss ns
in search of good brick clay. After
taking off from the surface of the ground
about two feet of sand, the clay was ex-
posed, and the stump of tree was dis
covered. Digging still lower, about six
or eight inches into the clay, and over
turning the stump, these articles were
brought to light
First, copper spear, about fourteen
inches in length, and at its base groove
or dovetail is made, in which to insert
wooden shaft or handle /; two other
spears, each about twelve inches in
length, and similar to the first. Third,
two pieces of copper that had evidently
been very nicely forged. but for what
purposes they could eter have been ap-
piled is by no means plain, and it is quito
difficult to give in writing clear de-
scription of them. AS good an idea of
their shape, however, can be got by sup
posing them to be the matrix in which
was cast one of the spears. This is not,
however, the purpose to which they were
applied. 1t is far more likely they were
used as cutting-tools, but then there is
no means apparent by which the imple-
ment can be held, no place for fastening
it to handle. These are about fourteen
inches long, and two inches wide; upon
one end there is the appearance of an
attempt to make cutting edge. They
weigh about three pounds each, and are
specimens of good workmanship:
The question naturally arises, who
made these things ? Did the earliest
French discorerers make them or arc
they the work of a race long ago extinct,
the same who first opened these mines ?
1t seems to us-for we can only in
dulge in speculation on che suBject-that
these tools could not have been the work
of the Europeans who came here, for
they would not have made tool like the
last two, about the use of which We
should be ignorant. They are made of
copper, material not nearly SO good as
iron or steel for cutting purposes, the
|. manufacture of which We are familiar
with, and would most likely bring with
them.
Our Indians do not, nor have they the
skill or implements to work so well any
metal, and they all are ignorant of the
use of such tools They have among
them traditions Of the existence of race
of men to whom they ascribe all the skill
necessary to accomplish these workings
we find at the mines, and make the tools
we now find:
That these tools are the work of those
who lived here years ago seems the moro
likely from the place and position in
which they were found, being In the
strata of clay lying under the roots of a
stump, and about forty fees above the
: present level of the river and lake. The
tree had grown up since these articles
had been put there, and the deposit of
sand made above the clay to the depth of
two feet. To do that, the river and the
lake must have been forty feet higher
than its present level. This; of course.

And now upon fair Kansas soil
I'll life begin again,
And help to build New England homes
On every hill and plain
And, if the master and the slave
Shall make their home by me.
I'll welcome them. but each must have
An equal liberty.
Oh. fair Kansas
That is the land for me,
The land tor peace and honest folk,
For Ged and Liberty!
And when old age shall lay his hand
Upon my frosty head,
I'll bless the day my fathers God
Ny steps to Kansas led.
Then, as ! see from my own door,
Each verdant hill and field
With happy homes all covered DER,
I'll thank God for the yield.
Oh, fair Kansas &c.

that Labrador, with population Of co.
600 inhabitants, has neither governor,
magistrate, constable; nor lawyer !; yet
violence and disorder .are uheomiaon

to their morals. Their chief occupation
IS hunting and fishing. the produce Of o.
which Is sold chiefly to the traders nom
the United States, from whom they re-
ceiye the most of their supplies.
