WOndc1TW Discovery of a Sup
posed AHteditaCidH HuHl0n

Day before yesterday, while the quarry
men employed by the Sank Rapids Water
Power Company were engaged ia quarryiug
rock for the dam to be erected across the
Mississippi at this place, found Embedded
in the solid granite rock the remains of a
human being Of gigantic stature. About
seven feet below the surface Of the ground,
aud abOut three feet and half beneath the
upper stratum Of the rock, the remains
we're found imbedded in the sand, which
had evidently been placed Ia the quadran-
gulT grave when had been dug out Of the
solid rock TO receive the last remains cf
this antedilgyian giant. The grave wac
twelve feet in length, four feet wide, and
about three feet in depth, and is to day at
least two feet below the present level Of
tho river. The remains are completely
petriied, and are OF gigantic dimensions.
The head is massive, measures thiriy-one
and one-half inches IN circumference, bnt
low IN the 0S tyOntoS, and very Hat on top.
The temur measures twenty-six and a
quarter inches, aud hbula twenty-five and
half, while the bndy is equally long ia
proportion. From the crown of the head to
the sole Of the foot the length Is ten feet
niue and a half inches. The measure around
the cbe.t is dty nine aud a half inches.
This giaut must have weighed at least nine
hundred pounds when covered with rea-
sUnable amount OF hesh. The petrthed re-
mains {tnd there Is nothing left but the
naked bunesl now weigh three hundred aud
four and quarter pounds. The thumb and
fingers Of the lett hand, aud the left foot
from the aukle to tho toes, are gone, but,
all the ether parts are parftct. Over tho
sepulchre OF tho uuknown dead was placed
a large, aat limestone rock, that remained
perfectly separated from the surrounding
| grauite rock. These wonderful remains OF
an aniediluyian, gigantic race are In the
possession Of a gentleman, who has started
| with IL 10 his residence in the East. This
| gentleman, il IS said, will send the remains
10 Boston, aud possibly we may hear all
thst can be said on the subject by tho
learned in these things. d is suppressed by
sonie Of our ab,est men, among whom Is
Gen. Thomas, that many more skeletons
viii be found during the process Of excaya-
| ting the granite rocks In tbis place. some
seem To think that these remains were de-
posted in this sarcophagus prior to the
| formation Of the present strata of rocks
that now abound here Int this i5 nsre.

4 RoBBER CAUGHT.-Day before yestcr-
day Miss Mary Downs, housekeeper at the
Ballard House, went to her room and found
that the door had been forced, and pair
of gold bracelets and other articles stolen.
She found negro named Bob Robinson,
employed as waitc- at the hotel, at the door
next to hers trying to break it open. AS
soon as she discovered her loss she suspected
that hc was the thief who had robbed her,
and procured warrant for his arrest. He
was taken TO the station house, and Detec-
tive Parker went to his room to search for
the stolen articles. In the search he found
% number of spoons, forks, table-cloths,
sheets, napkins, &C., some of them identi-
fed by Mr.. Ballard as his property, and
some of it with the Spotswood mark on it.
During the time the officers were making
this search, Robinson had been bailed out
of the cage. Mr.. Ballard then took out a
warrant against him for stealing his pro-
pcrty. 1t was executed by Detective Par
ker. Several members of the secret society
to which Robinson belongs, were present,
and rescued him from the officer, who hap
pened to he unarmcd. He appeared yester-
day morning at the police court, and after q
full investigation of the charge, was sent on
to be examined on the charge of felony, and

HUNSICUTT FOR CONGREss-HIS PLAT
F0RN.-Mr. Hunnicutt is still actively en-
gagged in canvassing this district as candi-
date for Congress against Porter, the Radi-
cal nominee.
The following extracts from his address
to the voters of the third district shows the
platform upon which he stands. He says :
cold issues are dead. Secession has
proved a failure. The terrible internecine
war is ended. The Union is saved. Slavery
is forever abolished. All men are free. The
colored people are declared citizens and en-
franchised by congressional legislation.
These are subjects no longer to be discussed.
They are settled fscts-dead issues.
"The Conservatives have ceased their op-
position to the reconstruction Of the State
as proposed by Congress. They have yield
ed their prcjudices to the equal political
and civil rights Of al men before the law,
regardless Of race, caste, or color. They
pledge themselves to Yot9 for the ratification
of constitution which equally protects all
men in all their political, civil, religious,
financial, and personal rights. They pledge
themselves to the adoption Of the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, which secures to all American citi-
zens the elective franchise.
"This being the case, the necessity for
est-oaths and disfrancbising clauses NO
longer exists. | shall, therefore, to the
utmost of my influence, oppose the retain
ing of the iron-clad oath and the diStran-
ckising clauses in the constitution. To
retain and enfocre them, nou that all oppo-
sition to the equal political and civil rights
of the colored people has ceased, is ab-
surd, prosciptiue, tyannical, cruel, and
,r;cEsf -
