"A GREAT o15vSos1,;v

Lost evening" some workmen
digging foundation for a stone wal
on Jefferson street, in this city, along
the line Of the lots upon which e
w. Belts, Esq, resides, found, at q
depth of some three feet below the
grade OF the street, stone, some.
thing over three feet long, inbedded
in hard kind of clay, Immediately
around 1t, however, was a thin coat
ing of loan soil, very tracoable after
the removal of the stone. The
character of the stone resembles a
kind of flinty sandstone. No other
stone are to be found in that region,
and this one was, therefore, entirely
isolated.
In appearance, as to shape, ETC.,
this stone resembles the headless
trunk Of h fullgrown human body,
without legs or arms. Where the
neck rises from between the should
ers, and the arms put out, tho APP
pearances are as though they had
been neatly severed from the body,
especially is this so with the neck.
The Ghost and abdomen are covered
all over with zig gag ridges, raised
above the general surface, in some
instances strikingly resembling, in
the direction in which they run and
In their general delineation: the large
arteries of the body. The back
shows quite plainly the prominence
of the shoulder blades and the cur
vature of the back. The waist of
the body is quite we'll defined, as are
also the hips. This stone certainly
does impress the beholder, strongly,
with its resemblance to the human
form.
The news of it's resurrection spread
rapidly through the city, and many
hundreds Of persons, during last
evening and to-day, have flooked to
see it, and oil agree that it is at least
very wonderful curiosity.
Mr.. Belts, residence is on the bluff,
and near to a point whore, as many
of our older settlers know, was
favorite camping place of the Indi.
ans. The street in front of MIR. Belts
lots has been graded down until the
cut is perhaps ten feet deep, and
to prevent the washing away of his
grounds, by reason Of this deep cut,
Mr.. Belts is building a stone wall. In
digging for the foundation of this
wall, the stone was found, at a depth
of probably twelve feet from the
present surface of the ground in that
region.
The stone was found through the
persistence Of Mr.. Belts in having
clean faced wall. The workmen
were about to enclose it in the wall,
rather than remove it, but MIR. Belts
insisted that it should come out, and
when pried out, though q great deal
of dirt chung to it, its striking resem.
blance to the human form at once
attracted Belts attention, and he
had it washed off.
We learn. this afternoon, that some
of our medical men have examined
it, and pronounced it a. petrified
human body. They say they can
trace tho arterial system quite per.

Gent County Superintendent of
Schools, informs us that no has closed
contract with the School Board Of
the city of Winterset, Iowa, to take
the superintendency OF their schools
at the commencement of the school
year, to-wit: about tho middle of
September next.
Mr.. Cox, therefore, authorizes us
to discontinue his announcement in
tho paper as a candidate for re.ele-
lection. He will continue to dis
charge the duties Of Superintendent
until, say, about tho 18th of Sept,
when some person will have to be ap-
pointed to fill his unexpired term of
office.
Mr.. Cox, so far as we have knowl-
edge, has discharged his duties as an
officer of the county faithfully and
well, and we are sorry to lose him as
a citizen, but we congratulate him in
obtaining SO honorable position, as
he has in SO good and prosperous a
city as that of Winterset. We have
faith to believe that he will give sat
isfaction to our Winterset ncighbors,
and commend him to them as On
earnest educator and good citizen.
