Singular DlscOvery-A Number OF
il HUMAN ROnes Found. 49, AZ,

Editor Reporter Last Saturday paid
flying visit to Dilie's Bottom, opposite to
this place; and some twelve miles below
Wheeling. The discovery, made at that
place q few days ago Of human bones found
buried beneath two tremendous rocks on
the side Of the hill on the farm Of johnson
L. Jones, Esq, but very short distance
from his residence, has occastoued quite an
excitement in that locality. Mr.. Jones's
the first discovery while passing over
nicated to his father what he had
seen, which led to the beginning of gene
raj investigation. ltappears that the rock
in Its. fall broke into about two, equal
parts. The rock, before it was broken,
would measure twenty-five feet in length,
ten or twelve in width, by three or four
feet in thickness. MIR. Jones, being aided
by quite number of persons who have
visited this place to satisfy curiosity, has
been able to romove one of the rocks, and
underneath were found eight human skulls,
two of them nearly perfect, besides large
number Of bones of, grown persons and
children. Some of,the, children have GER
tainly been very small, by the appearance
bones, pronounced to be the bones of q
giant, have been found with the reics-one
of them a thigh bone. A small excavation
has been made under the other rock, and
quite number OF bones have been taken
out. It is the intention TO have this rock
removed as speedily as possible.
Many are the conjectures as to what
caused those unfortunate persons to +, be
under the rock when it fell upon them. II
is apparent that they have either fed there
for safety from q storm, to secret them
selves from an enemy, or to find refuge,
and while enjoying their safe retreat the
rock gave way and crushed them with Its
ponderous weight. The bones found lay
directly against the underside Of the rocks.
1t is generally believed that they are In
dian bones, but nothing has yet been dis
covered, with the exception Of apecuiiar
red paint or soft stone, that the race OF
people to which they belong can be identi-
fed. No doubt this, accident happened
some centuries past. A large walnut tree
has grown between where the rocks lay
and where they broke off from the main
rock. The oldest inhabitant IAN aged gen.
tleman) in that locality says that In his boy.
hood hc, had observed those rocks, and
they had apparently been lying in that
position long before his day. MIR. Jones is
preserving all the relics. If anything new
is found in the further investig cation o
chose remains you will hear. More anon

PUrTINa CoLD WATER IN BOILER
MAKES 1T ExPLoDE.-We have from St..
Louis an account of an explosion in that
city which exactly illustrates the theory of
" "unequal expansion, of which we hear SO
much. The report says that steam Was
raised ina stationary boiler for the purpose
OF. furnishing small quantity fora donkey
engine. When pressure Of ninety pounds
was attained, cold water was pumped into
the boiler and q fierce explosion ensued.
This. was just as much the result OF une.
quail expansion, apparently, as the bursting
Of hot glass tube on the aRpicatlon o.
hested glass tumbler by dropping cold wa
ter therein. 1t should be observed that
this explosion was nearly as severe In It's
effects as that of the Westfield. though, for
,tunately, but few persons were killed.-A.

THE Riverside colony, in California, be.
gins with thirty thousand acres of land in
San Bernardino county, in the Los Angeles
region. About fifty families, chiefly from
New England, are already settled on the
place. An irrigation ditch has been con-
structed, and this gives important water
power for manufacturing. The people, like
those Of Vineland, in New, Jersey, allow no
grog-shops; and ff they are wise, they will
also by law make fences needless Alto

A CORRESPONDENT who recently trayelle

A CORRESPONDENT who recently travelled
through that region says that the Colorado
Desert has evidently been, in some remote
age, the bed ola vast inland sea, the ancient
Water-mark being yet visible on the sides OF
the boundary mountains, with the hero.
glyphics left there by the Indians ages ago.
A terrible earthquake reft its barriers and
discharged its waters into the Gulf of Cali
fornia, at the same time permeating the
soil with alkali, which impregnates the lit
tie water that can be obtained, and in some
places even saturates the vegetables. Sur
prise has been experienced by travellers on
noticing the brilliant wbiteness of the teeth
of the Indians Of all ages and sexes. This
is due to the alkali which mingles 80 'liber-

CLIMBING A CHURCH STEgPLE.-Ye esterday
morning a new gilt bali and o weather yane
were placed on the, ,steeplel of the Second
Baptist Church. AS considerable skill in
climbing, and steady hand, were neces-
sarv to accomplish the feat, q considerable
crowd assembled to witness IT, It was sue
cessft,lly accomplished by Messrs. -. and
C. Gallagher, young men haliIng from y l;I.E az;
chester. The price paid the climbers was
fifteen dollars. 81
The risk of life and limb in this exploit
will be appreciated when It is understood
that the top of the spire is l22 feet from the
roof. and that the roof is 45 feet above the
earth. So the your men mad to Work at q
distance of 167 feet above the street.

New Views OF THE NEW JERUsALEM-'
The;lecture Of MIR. Anderson ID. Abraham..
Sr., of Buckingham county, VA, on the
New Jerusalem, was delivered in part, ac-
cording to announcement, at Virginia Hall
yesterday afternoon. Owing to the threat
eIling weather, the unusual hour, named
for the entertainment, and other crcum-
stances entirely beyond the control OF the
lecturer, the audience, was not so large as
the Importance of the subject demanded !;
but the only gentleman present "a door
keeper of unusual intelligencc) took his
seat on the front bench, and listened with
attention until another engagement called
him elsewhere.
The distinguished lecturer discussed his
subject with conspicuous tluency and
ability, and advanced no position unsus-
tanned by copious proof texts, taken :for
the greater part from the Minor Prophets
and the Revelation of st. John. He adj
yanced the idea that the end of the world
Is nigh, and, indeed, that it may be CONT
IDENTITY expected during the years 1870, 1876,
and 1877. This present terrestrial sphere
having been destroyed by fire or other
agency beyond the control of man, there
VIII be formed Il new heaven and new
earth, wherein dwelleth Righteousness.
This destruction, however, might be avert
ell by all persons joining what Father
Abraham calls ga seal Church." In this
event, he holds that the new Jerusalem will
be built ut buckingham Courthouse, Va,
