pocket books The clerk threw down a
package, and opening 1t the boys made a
grab for thecontents. In moment they
were out Of the store with the clerk In
pursuit. Others perceiving the commo.
ton Joined IN the chase, making quite an
excitement as pursued and pursuers
rushed along the streeE One of the little
fellows was caught, and every effort was
made TO have him give the names of his

DISCOVERY OF REMArNs.-During last
week some workmen in making an exca.
walton in mound in Martins Ferry, O..
discovered and exhumed two human
skeletons. One Of them was found in.
tact-thc other had fallen to pieces.
What was remarkable about their burial
was the fact that the bodies had evidently
been covered by m arch made Of lime.
stone bOulders, which were in an irreeu.
lar heap about the remains. These must
have been carried considerable distance
and placed In the mound, as they are not
found In that alluvial formation.
Portions Of one OF the skeletons were
presented by Captain James Dean to Pro.
iessor Marion, of the Female Collepe
where they have been placed in the Mn.
scum, and can be seen by any Of our
readers curious in such matters.
These remains are supposed 10 be of
persons who belonged to the ancient race
of Mound Builders, those aboriginal in.
habitants.oI this country who ante.date in
their history even the Indians. All
through the Mississippi Valley, from the
lakes to the Gull, are found defensive
earthwotks and other monuments Of these
ancient Mound Builders. There are said
to be ten thousand Of these mounds in
Ohio alone. Some were erected for pur.
poses OF military defense, others, as great
affairs for religious worship, and still 9th.
ers as burial places and monuments for
the dead.
