graphs Of relic discovered at Valley Forge,
were presented for c1amination- The Bos-
ton 4du7fise7 says:
It was found few weeks since by some
workmen who we're digging among the ruins
Of IN ancient building In Valley Forge, which
was Wnehington's headquarters in 17T-7S
It's first appearance was that Of wooden
block about three inches square, and It lay
for some days neglected among the rubbish;
but on exnminationsit turned ont to be box
of some metallic composition, somewhat cor
roded. Within it was another boz plated
with silver aud carefully packed, which CON
tained miniature beautifully painted and
well preserved. It represents q person in IN
embroidered coat, ruf1lcd shirt, and a wig, a
costume peculiar to the middle Of the last
century. On the edge Of the right shoulder
may be seen the letters t.HALl," " thong b it is
probably the painter's name. The house
