Newtown Bridge, near Cincinnati.
1t was evidently tho debris Of huge
sacrifice of children. A space tweu.
ty five feet in diameter had boon
covered with on Immense heap of
woud; thcn it was set on fire, and
the children were probably tossed in,
one by one, as in the ancient sacrifices
to Moloch. The heat was evidently in.
tense and long continued, as the
ground plainly showed the effects of
violent conhagratiou. AS soon as
the sacrifice was completed and the
fire had died out, the remains of the
victims were all rakod together in
tho centre, and then tho mouad was
raised in very remarkable way.
Soil was brought, apparently by diff
ferent tribes, from different localities
and each variety was carefully de
posted by itself, so that tho differ.

The remains collected consist mostly
of jaws and teeth of children. y

which had evidently been used as an
ornament. The remains will be
placed in museum at Plainville,
