In removing the guano from the Nor
thern Island of Guanape, says the Pana-
ma Star and Herald, some curious OBJ
jects have been found buried in some
places forty feet deep. Those of most
interest are the human figure rudely cut
of a very hard wood. They evidently
were idols or household gods of the an
cient Peruvian Indians, who must have
frequented the islands hundreds of ye ars
ago. On the north island, after remov-
ing some forty feet of guano. a cavity
was come upon, which, on taking out
the guano, was found 60 be u cave lead
ing downward as many more feet. From
the bottom an entrance was found lead
ing out to the sea. In this also many
objects were found. The guano seems to
be Of highly preservative nature
Birds. lizards, sea fowl, eggs of various
sizes, from goose to pigeon egg, are
found retrifed as it were into guauo.
The eggs retain their shape, and the
shell, in many cases, its color. The
cracks and assures In the walls of the
caves were filed with solidified am
m"nacal salts. According to a Peru
Wan paper the objects brought from the
island of Macabi were two pieces of
rearthenware vases, each having on the
outside the figure Of an armed Indian,
d - t"p gold earrings, aud bdnules OF
medicinal herbs tied up in curiously
woven cloth.

LINCOLN, Nebraska, Jan. ga resolution
was passed by the house of representatives OF
Nebraska, mquiring into the disposition made
by Gov. Butler Of nearly S17 900 which he col
lected IN the season of 1869 from the United
States government to the credit of the Nebraska
school fund in the sale of lands during its terri
torial existence. Gov. Butler answered that he
had deposited the amount in the state treasury.
Another resolution was then passed requesting
the auditor and treasurer to state why this
amount was not credited. Replies were received
that the money was never received in the state
treasury. A committee was then appointed to
request Gov Butler to explain the discrepancy.
The committee made report yesterday that
Governor Butler claims to have placed the
money in the hands of the deputy treasurer and
to have recently borrowed SIS 900 for his own
use and to have loaned the balance to other
parties He claims to have secured this money
by mortgages. A resolution was then passed in
structing the committee of schools to inyesti-
gate this and other matters pertaining to the
school fund.
