closed in smooth, spheroidal stone box, about
eight inches long, cemented BY whitish substance
not yet analysed, snguarly placed in grooves, but
was opened oy a seam running longitudinally
through the middle. The enclosed stone is of a
peculiar form, but f's tightly in the bottom of the
box, which is carved so as to receive it exactIv
% the upper side of the former is the 6gure IF a

the very square Hebrew letters nj. Sh. H. over the
head, and with an elevated rim, containing charac
ters likewise engraved; and all other parts of the
stone except kind of a handle are covered in like
manner. This stone was deciphered by the Rev
John W. McCaity, pastor of the Episcopal Church
in Newark, and proved to contain an abstract of
the Ten Commandments. The alphabet employed
is not found in Genesis but most of the letters are
easily recognized by their resemblance to the
