OF The Burlington, Iowa, Gazette, states
that while workmen were engaged last even
ing in excsvating for the cellar Of Governor
Grimes, on the corner OF Main and Valley
streets, they came upon yuult ao'ne ten feet
square, which, on being opened, WIS found
to contain cigh, human skeletons Of gigan-
tic proportions. The walls of the vault are
about fourteen inches thick, we'll laid up
with cement or some other indestructiole
mortar. The vault is about six feet deep
from the base of the arch. The skeletons
are in good state of preservation, and we
venture to say are the largest human rem
aims ever found, being little over eight feet
long!

course they are both great philanthropists,

The Season opens finely for farmers
From every direction we hear the most fa'
vorable reports in regard to Agricultural
interests. The wheat is said never to have
looked better, and everything betokens an
abundant harvest. We copy few extracts
from some of our exchanges. The Coshec'
ton Democrat says:
'sThe wheat at this time looks remarkably
fine. We had occasion day or two since
to 90 few miles in the country, and our
own observations confirmed the opinion we
have go often heard expressed. Though the
wheat is not SO far advanced as is usually
the case at this season OF the year, yet the
fields look green, the grain seems far more
even or less spotted than is generally the
case in the spring, and at this time the pros
pect is altogether fair for most bountiinl
crop. IT'S said by those who have had op-
portunities for forming on opinion, there is
now more wheat in the ground in Morgan
county than there ever was in any previous
year"
The Wayne County Democrat says:
"Neyer at this season OF the year have
our farmers had such a, promising prospect
for bountiful wheat crop. The winter, al
thou Oh severe, has been remarkably favora'
BILE to wheat growers. The deep snow all
winter prevented any dam.ge to the roots by
Jack Frost. and as the snow had kept the
ground from freezing, when it melted off, the
fields presented green and growing appear
ance."
The Sandusky County Messenger, says:
"We have most cheering accounts from
all parts of the county, in relation to tn
wheat crop. Our farmers are very sanguin
of heavy crop the next harvest. The lonl
duration Of the winters snow, has kept tht
plants in excellent condition, and, with
favorable spring and summer. we think thei
expectations will be realized"
) The Crawford County Forum says;
"We learn from the farmers from differ
S ent parts Of this county that the wheat Gro
. looks well.",
The Chilicothe Advertiser says: "Whe,
never looked better in these parts. A larg
!, crop is inevitable, unless the fly or rust il
y jures it."

wheat growing counties of Ohio; also frol
