Aboriginal Remains.

In parts of Central Ohio, notably at
Marietta, CirclevIlle and Newark, are Gu
rious and wonderful remains Of pre- his
toric race of men, whose peculiar habits
we can only guess by the merest indica-
tions afforded by what is left of them in
the various mounds and other earth
works which abound in that region. A
recent investigation has been made of
one of those mounds in the Eastern part
of the county Of Delaware, of which we
find partial description in the Wester-
vile Banner, local paper of that vicini-
ty. The writer of that article goes on to
say: The mound is an elevated field, is
constructed of stone oblong In shape,
and one-third as wide; the stones were
piled up about five to SIX feet hign. There
are butternut trees planted on these
stones, in square, 25 feet apart, about a
foot in diameter. In this square the
mound was opened. Soon after begin
ming to remove the stones which were all
small, human bones were found scattered
here and there among the stones. They
consisted of jaw bones, teeth, the long
bones besides small animal bones The
jaw-bones are very large, so as to fit out
side of an ordinary face. The parts of
skull bones found are very thick and all
the bones indicate larger class ofhuman
beings than those now disturbing them.
After removing five feet of stones, they
came on two layers of wood, parallel F;
covering this wood was layer of decom-
posed material which appears to have
been some vegetable fiber and animal iur.
Between the layers were also some COW
ering which is very decomposed and can't
be analyZed. Immediately under herr
wood which was well preserved, the Ter
bluish clay very hard and appears some
like water lime Around the outside
there were pins driven down about two
feet long from to inches wide, most OF
them were split sticks, and show abe
marks of having been split by rude to
blunt implements. They have dug about
10 feet further down than these pins, but
fndnothing but the blue clay and stratas
Of sand, which is different from the sur
rounding earth and was evidently filled
in for some reason which may discov-
cred when the bottom is reached.

Dear Father, Come Home ,


Postmaster Billings, of Santa Clara, has
received the following letter. It tells its
own story:
To the Postmaster of Santa Clara
Will you be so kind as to inquire if
there is such man as George Ray in your
city; or where be is If he has left Santa
Clara He is about thirty-sevOn years
old, dark eyes and hair, not very tall, and
is carpenter by trade. He Is my dear
father, and we have not heard from him
for more than two years. Ma Is left with
five children and I am the Oldest, and, am
fourteen years old. Sometimes ma thinks
he is dead; but dreamed the other night
that he came home to US, and it has made
me think 90 much about him that can
not help writing to you, for I cannot give
up all hopes. Oh dear Mr.. Postmaster,
VIII you do this favor for a poor home
less girl2 and you shall have many warm
thanks. If you can see him or hear where
he is, will you be so good as to send him
this letter? Will you please answer?
Yours truly"
My Dear, Dear PG-How can I tell
you how sad my heart is while I write
you, not knowing whether you are dead
or alive. Do you love us any more
Why is it that we do not hear from you
any more? II you are sick and discour-
aged, we will try to help you come home,
and then we will work and take care of
you. Oh how hard it is to 1--we as we do
now that the children are all separated
Willie is in the State Reform School in
Lancaster, in this State, and ma does not
have to pay his board. A man in Berlin
has adopted frankie as his daughter, and
a rich farmer in the country has Libbie a.
his child, and Henry is at fredericksburg.
l am working for wages in snail family
in Massillon. Ma has learned the dress
makers trade, and sews by the day in this
city, and helps me all she can. She has
been working in Fulton for the last two
weeks, and will be there some time. 1t is
hard to have no home, no pa to loYe US
and oh, pa, do take pity on Us, and come
back We will all receive you with open
arms. And how happy We will be to
have you with US, as you have been once.
Oh, pa, do write and tell US if You love us
still. Your sorrowfnl daughter.

A Bloody Record.

The people of Spring Mills have been
agltated for some time past by the story
Of two murders and a suicide in their oui-
ct neighborhood. In April last, it will
be remembered that we published an &C.
count of the suicide of one Mr.. Yonng
under circumstances that afforded no sat-
isfsctory explanation. He was a younq
man, highly respected, with fair prospects
and good health. But one day he went
into the woods, cut open an artery in his
his arm, and by holding it open with a
stick succeeded in putting an end to his
life. 1t is known that Just before the su-
leide Young was sent for by a Young
friend named Kenley, and a private inter-
view took place, but the object of the con-
ference or what was there communicated
was not known, and was not supposed to
have any connection with Yonngs last
and fatal act. But soon after his death.
Henley, who had become convinced thai
he could not recover, sent for DIR. Van.
Valzab, offspring Mills, and made a most
startling confession of two murders. in
which he and Young and two other men
OF the place were participants. The first
murder was committed last fall, the VIC
tim being contractor on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad, whose name we have not
learned. He appeared in the place with
about 81, 900, and these four Young men
entlced him into restaurant kept by one
of their number, and after making him
stupid with drink, knocked out his brains
with an axe and took his money. Thew
then sunk his body in deep sink hole in
Spring creek The second murder was
committed IN March or April last, a short
time before the confession. The victim in
this instance was a gentleman fromWest-
moreland county, who had previously
purchased Moats mill in Penn Valley.
The particulars of this murder are not
given. The man was traced by his friends
as far as Center Hall on his way TO the
mill, with sum of money which he in
tended TO use in making a payment upon
tho property. Since their disappearance
at the time their respective murders are
said to have been committed, neither of
these men have been heard from. Since
henley's confession the other two men
have disappeared from tie place. Ken
ley Is recovering, and viii probably have
to answer for his share in the two crimes
that he has so freely confessed. His
statement has not yet been made public
IN detail, and we are able to give only
this brief outline which is the Substance
OF the common talk in the neIqhborhood

Over the landscape stray:
And dropping down in the gentle rain,
REFRESH and fertilize earth again,
Making the harVests spring.

In cheerful industry:
Ana my part of the labsr fli,
Turning the wheels of the busy mill
Grinding the golden grain.
In In ages past, ere the white man broke
The stubborn glebe, or with sturdy stroke,
Hewed down the forest trees,
Another race here lived and loved,
Untamed, untaught, on my banks they royed,

Startling the wilderness.

Ascending up to Heaven:
And the pipe of peace was smoked again,
Mid songs and prayers of red-broWed men,

The copper operations OF the ancients
IN the Lake Superior regions still remain
a mystery, though there seems every rea-
N to believe that they were conducted
by the Aztecs, who left their haunts in
Mexico and the Ohio Valley. and made
summer pilgrimages to the conner re-
gions. There have been found neither
bones or implements or any means of
Identification whatever, except the tools
which are occasionally picked up IN the
ancient pits And some of these pits and
workings are so completely covered with
dEltt and formation that it is impossible
TO form any estimate in regard to the
time when they were operated. The
presence OF blsmuth, lead, mercury and
arsenic IN this copper enabled these an
Gent miners to mold it into cutting tools,
Whlch possessed finer and tougher edge

show plainly the methods pursued bv
their former workers in extracting the ore
SO far as may be judged, the rock was
softened and cracked by means of fire
o9lit against 1t and kept going for days,
when the loosened masses were pried out
with poles. Remains are found of huge
stone hammers. and copper chisels and 9TH
er cutting tools, and in several cases large
masses OF metal have been found that
have been dug around on all sides and
partly underneath, and then left, as if the
miners had given up all hopes of detach-
ing 1t and raising it to the surfacs.
The only reason for inferrlng that this
was the work Of the Aztecs IS The fact
that specimens Of this copper, with native
silver adhering have been found in the
mounds of the Ohio Valley, having evI-
IDENTIFY been used as ornaments by the
mound builders, and buried with them.
Similar specimens have been handed
ddWn for many generations in Mexico, as
having been possessed by the Aztecs, who
were said to be cognizant of valuable min
eral lands far to the north. 1t has been
doubted by many that the copper tools of
the ancients really possessed the density
and cutting power usually ascribed TO
them. Sir Gardiner Wilkinson, however.
remarked that some Of the bronze dagperS
found by him IN Egyptian tombs, were SO
beautifully tempered that, after having
laid buried for 5000 years, they possess
ed when dug up, an elasticity aim, 81
equal to that Of steel. 1t is thus defiLIte-
ly proven that the Egyptians really did
possess an art, which has been lost, of
making bronze of particularly fine tenn
per, capable, of taking and keeping q
sharp edge.-M0rqltetts Mining Journal.

From paper on the locomotive engine
by Joseph Harrison, Jr., read before the
members of the Franklin Institute of
Pennsylvania, February 81, 1872, is taken
the following paragraph :-"Ths engineer,
noting the curious things in bronze and
copper exhumed at Pompeii and gathered
together in the Museo .Borbonica at Ma
Piles, will linger near a small vessel for
heating water, little more than a foot
high, in which are combined nearly all
the principles involved in the modern YER

A Rhode Island farmer, driving into
Woonsocket few mornings ago with a
load of produce, had occasion 10 cross a
railroad. He heard tram coming. but
thinking he could cross before it arrived
ne whipped up his horse into a run. and
struck the track. Unhappily there was
slight miscalculation on his part as to
tune and distance. The engine smashed

garden truck, and threw him about fifteen
teet, though fortunately not injuring him
severely. He says that hereafter he will
let the train go by.
