Wonderful Relics of the Pre-Adamite
Age.

A well known literary gentleman O
Mlddletown, Connecticut, has made pub,
lie the following remarkable geological
discoveries upon the banks of tho Conuec
ticut river
On the east bank of the Connection
are the Portland stone quarries, which
have been worked for $50 years. Al
present, in three quarries, about 1,00(
men are at work and 30 or 40 vessels are
employed in carrying the stone to the
great markets. These excavations, which
have reached the depth OF $50 feet below
the surface of the water in the river, have
revealed untold wonders. The stone is
said to be full of fossil remains in its low.
est depths. 1t is Gods great book of re-
cords, which has been here carefully pre-.
served and Theoretically sealed up until
within the last few years. On the count.
less leaves of this book are found the re-
cords of the past ages. They tell US Of
the climate, of the seasons, and of the
storms, of the birds and animals and
more wonderful still they tell us of the
men of those ages shoS US their mple-
ments, and shadow forth something of
their customs. They also open to us
their graves, and show US their modes OF
burial, the men lying in one posture aud
the women in another. These men had
all three fingers and thumb, and four
toes. The comparatively more recent OF
them were six to seven feet high, but as
we unfold the leaves further, and proceed
far back in the cycles Of time, to the
lower depths Of the rock, we come to a
race of giants IL feet high, with shoes,
and who had domesticated animals of pc.
ouliar structures and great size. The
only human instruments SO far discovered
were made of stone. They had saws and
loug knives made of slate.
This sandstone basin is believed to be
of the same geological age as the basin Of
Paris in France, but the fossil remains
are more numerous than those in the Paris
basin, more wonderful, and in better
state of preservation.
The most iDdefatigible observer, and
the most industrious collector of these
facts is DR.. Barrett, who has spent almost
lifetime in collecting fragmentary evi.
denco and surmounting difficulties.
Many years since tho fact Of pre- Adam
lite race dawned upon him, and he an.
nounced it in conversation. Precisely
similar discoveries have been made in Eu-
rope. DR.. Barrett says men trod this
valley at least co. 900 years ago, but not
our race the present race is new and
distinct creation.

BEL AIR. IND. FRIDAY MORNING JUNE q 10

But when the procession came before
him, and he saw the poor children, so
thin, so pale, SO worn out by hunger, the
rough mans heart was touched a spring
of fatherly love, that had long been
choked up in him, broke forth he was
filled with pity, and tears came to his
eyes, and what the warriors of the town
could not. do, the peaceful little children
in white did-they vauquisbed the hard
heart. That evening the little cherry
bearers returned to the city, and With
them went procession of carts filled with
provisions for the starving people; aud
the very next day treaty of peace was
signed.
In memory Of this event the people of
Hamburg still keep every year festival,
called the Feast of Cherries, when the
children of the city, clad 10 white gar
ments, march through the streets, holding
green boughs, to which the peuplo vv,uius
out Of their houses, hasten to tie punches
of cherries, only now the children are
chubby and merry, and they eat the cher
ries theniselves.-RiVerSide Magazine

An Elopement in New JERSEY.

The staid, honest farmers of the country
! few miles about Mount Holly, N. j.,
have been somewhat startled by an clone
ment ertraordinaire from this midst, the
facts of which are as follows One Chas.
Chaffy, plain farmer of fifty, residing
near the village of Recklesstown, becom-
| ing enamored of the wife of one Thomas
PIERCE with whom rumor has it he has
maintained an intimacy for year or two
past, finally resolved to desert home and
family and to unite fortunes with the
more youthful wife of bis neighbour
With this object in view Chaffy recently
mortgaged his farm for $4,000, sold off
his stock, and taking about $1,000 be-
longing to his wife, left home ostensibly
to go to the city to purchase government
bonds but really to meet Mrs. Pierce and
her husband in New York, thence to take
a o.oa.hot ~. c-i:f---:- Tho stnru onns
that Chaffy is to pay Pierce $4,000 for
his wife, delivered in the Golden State
and it is now known that the trio sailed
from New York, last week for the Pacific
coast. Chatfy leaves wife and six chill
dren, two of the latter being married.
Mrs. Pierce has. one child, which she
took with her, and is we'll sold at &c.
600. Chaffy was formerly an active
member of the Methodist church, but
wandered from the fold. Last winter,
however, he and Mrs. Pierce were among
the converts to the Baptist faith, being
baptized in the mill pond in mid.winter,
and with nearly one hundred others added
to the church. His farm is probably
worth from $4,000 to $4,000, upon
which his wife and children will continue
to reside. A brother of the infatuated
old gentleman is said to have followed the
party to California. Pierce left some un-
paid bills behind, and his creditors arc
hopeful that he may get his $4,000 and
return. The affair has afforded fund of
gossip for the country round about.
