THE MOUND BUILDERS.

March, 1873, contains noteworthy article
on "North America before the Spanish
Conquest in which previous discoveries
and settlement ofportions of the continent,
resting on tradition, archaeological research
add corroboratiye evidence, are referred
to at considerable length. cit has hither-
to been too much the fashion, says the
writer, to begin with Columbus in treat
ing of the history of North America, as
though there had been no navigators before
him." 1t is beginning to be more gener-
ally recognized that the discovery Of this
continent dates back to very remote
period-far beyond that of the Mortimer,
who came here from Iceland at the be-
ginning of the eleventh century. Even
from distant China, in ancient times,
came rumors Of the existence of great
country beyond the Pacific, and these, it
is assumed, nay is almost certain, must
have reached Europe in the course of the
centuries Of traffic between the Chinese
and the Europeans,
And IL this was the case with China,
how much more likely that there should
have been intercourse with Japan, on ac-
count of the nearer proximity of the latter
country to our western shores, and also
because it is possible for ship to sail
thence to any part of the American coast,
east or west, without losing sight Of hud
IA fact which we do not remember 10
have seen dwelt upon. To meet the OBJ
lection that there are six thousand miles
of ocean between San Francisco and Yo-
kahama, and that the ancient Japanese
were not sufficiently skillful mariners to
venture far at sea, out of sight of every
landmark, the writer replies that they
might have crossed over by taking the
circuitous route of their own coasts TO the
Kurile Islands, and past them to Kamts-
chatka, and thence to Behring's Straits
and Alaska, and so down our Pacific coast
to South America, without ever losing
sight of land all the way, and he has no
doubt this was done, although as vet no
record of the exploit has been found.
In furtherance Of this theory, reference
is made to the great Tartar warrior, Ku-
bia Khan, who, after he had subdued Chi
ma, A. ID. l280,) fitted out an expedition
Of 1000 vessels against Japan, which
were dispersed by violent storm, and
part driven out to sea and never heard of
again. Some Of these ships might have
found their way across to the shores of
Oregon and California, over two hundred
years before Columbus reached our eastern
shores.
But to 60 still farther back, there is an
account given in the 4ntigliaties Amer
icdaoe, Of voyage by Are Marson, a pow
erful Iceland chieftain, from Iceland to this
continent in the year 983. Marson is said
to have been driven by storms upon the
coast Of Florida, and his crew, who we're
Irish Christians, settled, and on what is
now the coast of Virginia, Carolina, and
Georgia adjoining. They are described as
Thite men, who wore white dresses. and
iron implements, and in goint out to battle
shouted with loud voice" Possibly the
Rebel yell /" so common during the late
unpleasantness NAV be accounted for

A Valuable Developments

We learn that six foot vein of coal has
hc"n discovered at the opening of Mr.. Jo-
sFPu KtLLrY at The northern end OF Wes-
tcrnpon. equal in all respects 70 the Big
Vein, which il uudurl.es 2; q distance of
over 400 feet, and which, it is well known,
extends under the entire region. The coal
is of quality equal to the best, as asccrtained
from thorough tests. Mr. KELLEY has a
lease of 1000 acres of this land from Mr..
MORRISON, Of Barton, and has secured a
contract for furnishing so tons of this coal
per day. A tram-way |, 400 feet long for
coal conveyance leads from the opening to
the railroad Some excitement exists along
the Creek over this development.

In Athens county, at Jacksonville, the
flocking river overfowed and inundated
the lower part of the town. A large
number OF families were compelled to
ieaVe their houses and contents and fly
Tor HE, so sudden and unexpected did
the hood come. The crops in the bottom
lands are total loss.
The damage 20 the crops is estimated
at $50, 600. A great humber of families
living along the river in the vicinity of
Athens were compelled to move to higher
ground. The Marietta and Cincinnati
railroad track is covered with water too
deep to allow the passage of trains.
lu Fairfield county the loss of public
aud private property is estimated at over
half Il million dollars. Many of the lew
farms were swept Of everything but the
buildings. The Hooking canal will not
be repaired this summer, having fifteen
large breaks within the distance of twenty
five miles
The Bremen canal is six feet under
water. On the morning of the 18th inst
four bridges of the Cincinnati aud Musk
ingum and Cincinnati aud Hooking Valley
railroads were wrecked The Hooking
canal and river have been made Que stream
by the numerous breaks.
In the southeastern part of Indiana
severe losses are reported. In Union
county the crops are damaged from ten
to fifteen per cent. In Ripley county
the wheat suffered badly. In Decatur
county the wheat yield will be but one
fourth of the crop.
In Shelby county two-thirds of the
wheat is sprouting very fast. In Dearborn
county the losses on the crops will be far
up in the thousands. The same report
comes from Fayette county. Corn will
yield only three tourths Of crop.
