who Were iheyi-RepOried Dis
cOvery Of Aboriginal Remains.

The following curious statement DIP.
peared in the Sidney (O.) Journal Of
last week:
NEwPoRr, o., May %, 1853.
Mr.. EDIroR: A short time ago some
workmen who were digging q cellar
on the place of II. Woolhaver, about
one and a half miles from this place,
exhumed q human skeleton. The
bones were in excellent preservation,
and with them were several medals
aud small silver coins. BY a further
examination, a few days after, they
discovered sorl ofancient mausoleum
abolt nineteen feet long, by nine
wide. The walls were ofcobb!e-stone
and about two feet thick. The bodies
Except the first, which was in a sit-
ting posture,) were placed parallel
with each other, directly across the
grave, and were in an oblique posi-.
tion, with the heads towards the East.
They were laid with the right side
downward, the right hand over the
heart. and the left, with the index
finger extended, pointing towards the
setting sun, and the face turned slight
ly upward. Around the neck OF each
skeleton, as it was exhumed, was found
chain of beautiful workmanship,
about three feet long, which, with one
exception, were Of highly tempered
steel.
The one excepted was Of silver
At the ends of these were small oval
shaped medals, and near the center of
each was an oblate Speriod Of the pu.
rest silver, weighing about twelve
ounces. The ends of these were curl.
ously Joined together round the neck
by little bands Of silver. Near each
Of those ancient relics was found q
spear about nine feet in length, which
with bows and arrows, were all tho
weapons found. These appear to
have been saturated with some sub.
stance for preservative, which has
discolored the earth near them; the
same substance appears to have been
used to preserve the bodies.
There were also found q number of
silver coins, of various sizes, but so
much corroded that the characters ON
them cannot be deciphered, if we ex-
cept the date on two or three OF them,
which is 1911.

pies the attention Of the Administra-

taken to prevent any improper inter.

~ The London Weekly Times
says that the young millirers and
dress makers Of that city are con-
demned to sixteen, seventeen or eigh-
teen hours OF toll out Of the twenty
four in each day and night. Their
work is carried on in crowded, unven
tilated rooms, where their frames are
kept bent at their labor until their
eyes ache and their limbs refuse to do
their duty. They have a short and
painful life and an carly grave. In q
recent speech, Lord Shaftesbury said
that many ofthese young women had
been trained gently and tenderly, in
delicate and happy homes, possessing
all the virtues and tenderness that be-
long to the female sex, and rendered
by these very characteristics more
obedient, more unmurmuring, more
slavishly suhie to the authority and
tyranny of those who are put over
them. His Lordship adds that they
have no alternative between submiSs-
ion and the street door, and then asks,
"Is the condition Of such q young wo-
man one whit better than the condi.
ton ofthe most wretched slave in the
Southern States of America"
