Correspondence of the Toronto Telegraph
CAYUoA, August 21.-On Wednesday
last the Rev. Nathaniel Wardell, Messrs.
o. Wardell, of Toronto, and Daniel Fri
denburg were digging on the farm of the
latter gentleman, which is on the banks
Of the Grand River, in the township of
Gayuga. When they had got to FIVE or
six feet below the surface q sight met
them. Piled in layers one upon top of
the other, were some 20 skeletons of hu-
man beings nearly perfect, about the neck
Of each one being a string of beads
There was also dropped in this pit mum.
Der Of axes and skimmers made of stone.
In the jaws of several of the skeletons
we're large stone pipes, one of which Mr..
o. Wardell took with him to Toronto a
day or two after.
These skeletons are those of men of
gigantic stature, some of them measuring
nine feet, very few of them being less
than seven feet. Some of the thigh bones
we're found to be at least half foot Ion
ger than those at present known. and one
Of the skulls being examined completely
covered the head of an ordinary person
These skeletons are supposed to belong to
race of people anterior to the Indians.
Some three years ago the bones of masto-
don we're found imbedded in the earth
about six miles from this spot. The pit
and its gastly occupants are now open to
the view of any who may wish to make
visit there.

SCIENCE AssocIATIoN.-The American
Science Association held its meeting this
year at indianapolis. The attendance
was large, and many we'll known savants
were present. A great number of care.
fully prepared papers were read but
owing partly to the depressing and liqui-
flying heat, and partly to the multiplicity
of subjects which engaged the attention.
there was no very exciting discussion, and
no absorbing interest was developed. The
lecture Of Professor Cope on the Laws OF
Organic Development was an exceeding.
ly thoughtful and elaborate presentation
Of views touching the great questions
raised by Darwin and Spencer while the
more practical lecture Of T. Sterry Hunt
one of the most vivacious and versatile
members of the Association-on the Irou
Interests of Indiana, and the Bessemer
Process. and related matters engaged the
attention of the outsiders, and led men OF
affairs to believe that after all science can
be made to pay. The proceedings wers
varied By trip to Terre Haute. On
the whole, though the meetings compare
unfavorably with those Of the British As
sociation in concentrated interest, they
we're instructive and encouraging.

Speaking of newspaper patronage al

Speaking of newspaper patronage all
exchange groups together some of the
queer ways that word is understood
One man asks you to send him the pa
per, and goes off without saying a word
about the pay. Time flies on; you are
in need of money and ask him to pay the
sum he owes you. He flies into passion
perhaps pays, perhaps not, and orders
his paper stopped. This is called patron
age.
One man brings in fifty cent adver.
tisement and wants two dollar puff
thrown in; aud when you decline he goes
of mad. Even this is called patronage.
One man don't take your paper it is
too high priced but he borrows and reads
it regularly. And that could be called
newspaper patronage.
One hands in q marriage or other no
tice, and asks for extra copies containing
it; and when you ask him to pay for the
papers he looks surprised: You surely
don't ask any pay for such small mat.

Charges for Dental Operations.

The following communication, publish
ed in one Of the city papers,presents such
a just and proper view ofthe case in point
that it seems well worth repubishing in
our pages.
EDITOR EVENING STAR A recent is
sue of your popular paper contained an
article from the Pittsburgh Leader, head.
ed dental Extortion." 1t is unfortun-
ate, alike for the people and profession
that Public Opinion" cannot appreciate
the difference between elaborate success
tul dental operations" and unsuccessful
cheap tooth carpentering."
The case in point may or may not be
extortionate, but in twenty years exper.
fence l have found that the difficulty in
regard to price almost invariably origin.
ates in the patients delaying until they
need an unexpectedly larger amount Of
work, rather that the dentists charging
more than the operation is worth.
1t is a melancholy fact that majority
of intelligent people do neglect their
teeth, and those OF their children, to q
shameful aud ruinous extent. They give
them but little thought, ,and less attention
until compelled by agony Of toothache !;
then, from a want of knowledge and ap.
probation Of the subject, they apply to
the cheap dentist, and lose their teeth, or
to the competent and skilled operator,
whom they accuse of exorbitant charges
because he cannot afford to devote his
time and energy for less than q respecta.
BILE remuneration.
1t does not follow, however, that those
who charge the most are the most skilful.
The most reliable dentists are those who
are naturally expert, kind and judicious;
who devote their best energies to the in.
terests of their patients, and perform sue.
cessful operations with the least possible
pain or annoyance.
Considering the eminent degree ofper.
fection to which the science of dentistry
attained, there is no reasonable excuse
Tor educated and refined people neglecting
their teeth to the disgraceful extent that
they do. Half the gentlemen we meet
endure disgusting mouths. They think
they "cannot afford the expense" of lit.
tie dentistry, yet spend hundreds of dol
lars annually upon amusements and health
destroying luxuries.
Many ladies dress themselves and their
children, and delicacies, without regard
to expense, and cry "dental extortion"
from mouths that they would be ashamed
to have a respectable dentist look into.
It is time the people realized that their
teeth are destined to premature and ra.
pid decay, and that the only science.
available to save them from utter ruin is
deserving Of equitable remuneration.

We are assured BY one who knows the
parties, that this case of sudden reduction
from aff1uence to destitutlon, narrated 30
affectingly in the above letter, is real
case, and no imagination or misrepresenta-
ton about it. The letter was not design
ed, by the writer, for publication, and the
names and locations were fully and
minute!y given. The lady's consent to
its publication has been obtained, however
on the suppression ofthe names and places.
1t is a case which appeals very strongly
to our sympathies, and we hope may re.
suit in the accomplishment Of the end SO
much desired by this mother, the educa-
tion of her daughter. Any sums of money
contributed for this purpose, left with the
editor of this paper, or DR.. Kitchel, or
Mr.. A. NJ. Everts, Of Salisbury. will be
faithfully applied to that end.

best Line is acknowledged to be the c., B. & O.,
Joined together with the B. & II. Railroad by the
Iron Bridge at Burlington, and called the
BURLINGTON RoUTE.
The main line Of their Route running to Omaha,
connects with the great Pacific Roads, and forms
to-day the leading route to California. The Mid

passes through Lincoln. the State Capital, and
will this year be finished to Fort Kearney. form
ug the shortest route across the Continent by over
LOO miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, diverging at Red
oak, falls into a line running down the Missouri
through st. Joe to Kansas City, and all Kansas.
Passengers by this route to Kansas, see Illinois,
southern Iowa, and Missouri, and by slight di-
vergenee, can see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for its towns "high-gleaming
from afAr'-its tree friuged streams-its rough
oIuffs and quarries-its corn-oceans stretching
over the prairies further than the eye can reach.
Land-buyers will be sure to remember it, for
they have friends among the two thousand who
have already bought farms from Geo. s. Harris,
the Land Commissioner OF the B. & N. B. R. at
Burlington, Iowa, or among the four thousand
