1t has been asserted in print that the ell

complete harmony with the spirit and the

This mound is one Of the largest On the

visitors. But Colonel Hart, proprietor
Of the island upon which 1t stands,
heretofore persisted in his refusal to
have this relic OF past ages disturbed.
On Wednesday, however, 1t was re-
solved to inspect thoroughly this mon
ument OF prehistoric age. A party
from the Putnam, with others, took
steamer for the island, where they ar
rived in good time. It was agreed
to open the mound at it's base.
After making breech OF thirty
five feet, they discovered hard wall
made Of coqnina. or shell rock. This
wall was cemented, and was ornamented
with various figures of warriors with
bows and arrows, and various reptiles.
After much difficulty q breach was made
