A WELL.PREsERvED NATIvE,-The
Duly Union published at Virginia, Neva-
IA Territory, says that the remains of an
Indian were lately found in the immense
salt field near Saud Springs, about eighty
miles from the city, completely embedded
in rock-salt, four feet below the surface.
The body was in a state of complete pres
ervation, and, from appearances, had lain
in the same position for many years, or
perhaps for ages. The flesh was perfectly
dry, like that of a mummy, and it was evil
dent that it had been saturated with brine,
which prevented its decay. The Indian
was about the usual size, aud resembles the
Plutes that now iuhabt the same locality.
Part of bear skin aud rude bow were
found near by, aud at distance OF few
yards "a pair of elk.horas Of enormous size
were disintcrrcd. The superstition is that
this entire salt bed was once lake, and
that the animal that had been wounded
had taken refuge in the water, whittier he
was followed by the Indian, who sank in
the mnd at the bottom, and was unable to
extricatc himsclf, and thus persisted.
