INTERESTING DIsCOyERY-THE SKELETON OF
A GIANT ExHUMED. farm of Mr. Colyin,
four miles from Monongahela City, large num-
Der of graves have been opened, that do not at
all resemble the Indian graves heretofore found
in great numbers upon the Monongahela river
and its tributaries Mr. Colyin began blowing
this Spring upon the bottom land, bordering on
Pigeon creek The field was called the " Fort
Field, ]" on account of the great number of flint
arrow heads, stone axes, piles of mussel shells,
and other traces Of an ancient encampment Of
the Aboriginees The field had been pIowed
before but not SO deep.
The attention of Mr. Colvin was arrested at
last by noticing that in one part Of the field his
plough would glide for several feet over fat
stones lying horizontally about six or eight inch
es below the surface. He examined one of them
and, on taking it up, found human bones of vast
size Some singular pottery, and shell ornaments
of curious workmanship, supposed to have been
worn in the ear beneath it. Dr. KEYS, of
Bentlysve, and other anatomists, on measuring
one Of the thigh bones, pronounced the skeleton
to have belonged to human being, who must
have been at least eight feet high
From the position Of the bones in the vault
under the stone, it is supposed the bodies were
buried in sitting position, the skull bones and
those Of the trunk being all in heap Will. those
of the legs were scattered along towards the
foot Of the vault. AT the foot, also of many Of
these graves were found various articles of orna-
ments Of exquisite workmanship, denoting a
greater skill than usually belonged to the Indians
together with crockery and warlke implements
The graves in the vicinity number several hun
dred and go to show that the field was at one
time an extensive burying ground. -Psttsburg

CowHIDED HIS WIFE-A lively excitement
was created, lately, in New Orleans hotel, by
a brute of fellow cowhiding his wife, in their
ROOM at late hour. Her cries and screams
alarmed the whole building, and when persons
attracted to the spot had opened the door, she
ran ran out in her night-dress, pursued by the
Infatuated husband, who brought, or rather
drove her back, and behaved so violently that,
it seems, no one present dared to interfere. The
secret of this outburst of d nestle fury was not
diyuged, and no further particulars Of the affair
had transpired.

EXTRAORDINARY RRvELATIoN.-The New
Orleans Delta publishes an account of a man
who offered another $50 to put another man out
of the world; the money to be paid when the
individual had received his quietus. Instead Of
killing the man, however, the pretended assassin
told him of the project, and agreed with him
that he should lay quiet until the money had
been paid over, which he did A thousand dol
lars has since been offered as hush money.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST THE CHINESE IN Cal

HE CRUSADE AGAINST THE CHINESE IN CAL
IFoRNIA THE miners of Shasta county, or,
more properly speaking, body of miners in that
district, have taken the initiative in attempting
to drive out the Chinese from their midst How
far thew may yet succeed in this high handed
and unjust proceeding, remains yet to be seen,
although they have, so far been unsuccessful in
their efots. This movement ought to be checked
in its very incipiency This unjust, cruel, and
impolitic conduct should be suppressed at once,
and the Chinese, who for years have formed so
large class in the aggregate of our population,
should receive the same protection from the Con-
stitution and the laws that is guaranteed to eve
~ citizen. The abstract question of permitting
the immigration Of Chinese to our shores, and
their residence among US, has been so fully and
freely discussed heretofore, that no present effort
of ours would serve to throw any new light upon
it, or change the sentiments of those who have
already formed a fixed opinion upon the subject.

which she could probably be convicted Git being
customary to select the strongest case first. -
Second she is again tried for the murder of her
little daughter, Eliza Ann, and verdict of not
guilty rendered by the direction of the court
Third and lastly she is put upon trial for the al
legged poisoning of another daughter described

and the favorite of the mother-and the jury,
