ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.
The staging around the spira OF the new Con-
gregationi church has just been taken down
1t is like the effect Of unveiling piece Of beau-
tIful s.atuary. We see it now in perfect bar
nonious proportions In few days the other
unsightly aud cumbersome stagings will bo re-
moved from the body Of the church. when the
effect will still be greater. It is perhaps
not known outside. of Kenosha that in
June last, when the workmen we're e1cayat-
ing the earth for tho basement OF this
church, there was found an interesting relic Of
q very remote PERIOD It WAS an instrument in
the shape OF small ax. made Of native Lake
Superior copper. Ono side is perfectly fiat,
while the other has acknowledgements edge
In tho top tbe1e il deep groove. evideutly in
tended for handle. Il is altogether probable
that crooked handle Was uaedt so that the ~in-
strumcnt might have been employed in the same
way VA employ the adze at the present time.
The edge is much harder than the body Of the
Instrument. Evidently the people who used
such tools understood the art Of hardening cop
per. In recent discoveries around the Lake
Superior copper region, old shafts have been
found 50 feet in depth, at the bottom Of which
tho samo kind OF axes, with other tools, h3ve
been discovered. To what race and what period
did these tools betoug7 It will be remem mbered
that when tho early Jesuits visited tho North
west to establish missions tho races Of Indians
at that period know nothing about the existence
OF the copper mines Of Lake Superior. Where
