MoLooH IN AMERIcA.-In Ohio n
mound of o novel character has recent
ly been cut through, in order to make
the approach to the Newton bridges
near Cincinnati. Itwas evidently the
debris of o huge sacrifice of children.
A space twenty-five feet in diameter
had been covered with an immense
heap of wood, then it was set on fire,
and the children were probably tossed
into it one by one, as in the ancient
sacrifice to Molooh. The heat was evi-
IDENTIFY intense and long continued, as
the ground plainly showed the effects
Of violent conaagration. As soon as
the sacrifice was completed and the
fire had died out, tho remains Of the
victims we're all raked together in the
centre, and then the mound was raised
in a very remarkable way. Soil was
brought, apparently by different tribes
from different localities, and each varie-
ty was carefully deposited by itself, so
that the differences were clearly distin-
guishable. The remains collected con-
sisted mostly Of jaws and teeth of
children, A pierced tooth of a rodent
was found, which had evidently been
used as an ornament. The remains
will be placed in museum at Plain
vile, Ohio.

The Solitary Twin,

N"..
The "Fat Contributor" furnishes
the Utica Observer the following story
of twin: ll arii 800 ralf
There was woman out West who
gave birth to one twin--just one,
that's all there was of him. She never
had another solitary twin so long as
she lived. He was a melancholy child
from the first, and wore such lone
some look. He always seemed to be
watching and listening for somebody
who never came. He appeared to
realize that he wasn't all together
that be was kind of human parenthe-
sis with one bracket gone, animated
dumb bells and one dumb bell missing,
a "pair" that couldn't beat deuces
and hardly worth drawing to. He
used to moan in his sleep and paw
around on his pillow for his missing
brother. When that boy grew up hc
was different from any boy l ever
knew, that is to say any one boy. He
seemed more like two boys-at least,
he was altogether two boys ferrous for
one. If he had a fight it was with a
boy twice as big as he was, for he
seemed TO feel, somehow, as though
there were two of him, or ought TO bo.
He always managed TO get two pieces
of pie at tho table, just as if one was
for the other of him who wasn't there,
and there was thin pretensc Of taking
care Of it for him, but he always took
care to eat it, | noticed. He only half
learned his lessons, and double entry
book -keepingnigh about sethim crazy,
because, he said, it crowded 'em. He
grew up, but he never got married.
Once or twice he attempted to court
o girl, but left her when it was only
half done, as though the othcr twin of
his would be along and court the
other half / don't know what be-
came Of him. / heard he died from
sheer loneliness, but | only believe halt
heard about that boy anyhow. II

surveyors last summer, when nea Cache
Creek, missed one of the axmen named
Martin, an old Victorian, who had shown
symptoms OF insaslsitty. HIS I;; Blankets !5:asza:aSSss
were afterwards found at the head of
Boston's Ditch. Soon after the man
was missed the Indians came into camp
one evening with the news that they
had seen awhile man, perfectly naked,
walking along the shore CT the North

appeared. A searching party was sent
out but they returned without any It'd

they had seen the man again. If the
Indian story be true the "wild man"

is a good thing for the country. 1t has
not only proved beneficial to the com

ton, having to our knowledge foretold
many coming and heavy storm. The
annual report has just been published,
and shows that the Signal Office has
proved correct in its predictions in eigh-
.tv-one per cent. of the cases. The whole
number of the stations from which the
Office now receives its reports is ninety
two, of which seyenty-eight are in the
States, eleven in Canada, and three in
the West Indies. During the last year
signals have been displayed in anticipa-
ton of eighiy-eight probable storms. In
seventy cases the storms anticipated

stations. By the different modes of ap-
plication adopted for the service, each
of which has been arranged with def

nation emanating from Washington
reaches daily the people of one-third of
the country. Efforts have been in pro-
