INTERESTING DIsCovERY-Ihe Skeleton of q
Giant EGhumed-On farm of Mr.. Colvin,
four miles from Monongahela City, large
number OF graves have been opened, that do
not at all resemble the Indian graves hereto
fore found in great numbers upon the Monon-
gahela River and its tributaries. Mr. Covin
began blowing this Spring upon 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 muscle shells, and other traces of an
ancient encampment, of the aborigines. The
field has been plowed before, but not so deep.
The attention of Mr. Colvin was arrested at
last by noticing that in one part of his field
his pillow would glide for several feet over flat
stones lying horizontally about six or eight
inches 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, sup
posed to have been worn in the ear, beneath it.
Dr. Keys of Bentlysville, and other anato-
mists on measuring one of the thigh bones,
pronounced the skeleton to have belonged to a
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 a sitting position, the skull bones and
those of the trunk being all in heap, while
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 arti-
clcs of ornaments Of exquisite workmanship,
denoting greater skill than usually belonged
to the Indians, together with crockery and
warlike implements. The graves in the vicin-
ity number several hundred, and go to show
that the field was at one time an extensive
burying ground.-Phtsbuy Chronicle.
