DISCOVERY OF MYSTERIOUS VAULTS
In OHIO.

The following letter, which we find in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, presents some interesting
facts, if reliable, well worthy of investigation
To he Editor Ofthe Enquirer:
JACKSON, o., Feb. 81, 1859.
Our village is full of wonder and excitement
Martin Marker, j. w. Hughes. and Washington
Long, in digging grave in the cemetery near
this village, about ten o'clock this morning,
came to large fat stone about four feet below
the surface which stopped their further pro-
greSs until they procured assistance, and re-
moved the stone from its resting place of ages.
when 1t was found to have closed the entrance
to subterranean vault All efforts thus far
(three p. M To enter it with light have proy ed
unsuccessful. on account Of the foul air with
which ii is filled. BY means of rake, human
bones Of gigantic size have been raised. and
small chain of silver, with coins attached to
each end. The coins, though much defaced by
time, have the appearance of those in use among
the Romans in the days of Cicero Africanus
though there were evident traces of hero
giyphic devices that cannot be deciphered
The men at the cemetery have, by means of
burning straw, made light in the vault, and
though none have the courage to venture fur
ther than the entrance, it has been discovered
that there is Immediately to the west of the
opening a chamber about ten feet Sluare with
steps quite dilapidated, down its eastern side
Three other chambers branch out of this; one
TO the north, one to the west, and the other to
the south.
We are all curious, of course, to know when
and by whom these vaults were made and
filed. Rev. Mr. Hunter and Mr. Armstrong
and DR.. knouf, have examined them rs we'll
rs they could without going down into them
also the bones raked out, and the chain and
coins, and all give il their opinion that these
vaults were made by the same people who
built the mounds in the southern part of the
State.
The questions present themselves to every
one: Who made these vaults and filled them
