ANTEQUARIAE RELICS IN KEN
TUUKY.

The Kentucky Geological Survey has
made some interesting developments in
American antiquities, especially in open
ing ancient cayerns which, though less
generally known than Mammoth Cave,
presents chambers and passags nearly
as extensive as those of that peerless
natural opening, was found to contain
ancient firepiaces scattered for miles
along its galleries. For hearths small
piles Of stones were made with hole IN
the center to receive the faggot of dried
twigs perhaps SIN ,ared with grease.
Bundles OF these faggots tied up with
twisted bark, were found. Cane reeds,
probably the remains of ancient torches,
were very abundant. A more weird
discovery was made in q small chamber
three miles from tie mouth, where the
prints OF sandaled feet were found in
the Dry soil. Large numbers of the
sandals, neatly made OF dried and twist
ed r.lshes, were also obtained. as we'll

the inner bark OF so:na tree. These
articles must be CT immense age, and
owe their preservation to the peculiar
air OF the cave. To preserve them from
perishing by contract with the outer air.
they we're all soaked in thin glue and
mounted between glass. No bones
either of men or animals were found,
but q careful comparison between the
objects gathered and those obtained
from Short Cave, which is eight miles
from Mammoth Cave, prove the identity
of the people inhabiting the two retreats
This Identification is important, for i'll

rian Society at Worcester, Massachu-
sets, there is mummy obtained from
Short Cave, and thus tue means are at
hand for careful study of the ostelo-
gical characteristics and habits of life of
SD American race which must be of
great age. The explorations were made
by Prof T. W. Putnam, who has given
an account of them in the american
Naturalist" for July. Near Pageville,
Kentucky, he found the remains of an
ancient cemetery, including at least
thirty and probably many more graves.
One which was opened was circular,
about three feet deep, the sides lined
with slabs of limestone, and the bottom
covered with thin shale. Portions Of
fifteen skeletons were found, represent
ing persons of all ages. The adults had
evidently been placed in sitting pos
ture against the limestone walls. A
fragment Of pottery was found near the
surface, and may be part Of a vessel
which was placed on the grave, instead
OF in Is, as is usually the case. These
graves are unlike any thing hitherto
known, not resembling those. Of either

MYSTERIOUS SoUNDs.-A correspond
ent Of The Montreal Evening Star de-
scribes certain mysterious sounds which
he and others incessantly hear. He first
heard them last winter in the stiffness of
the night, and thought they were mag
mary, Or mere singing in the ears
But when after few weeks friend,
who slept il the same room, and from
whom he had kept his experience secret,
complained about the same thing, they
ransacked the house and neighborhood
without being able to trace any cause OF
the sounds They shifted their quar-
ters to another part of the town, when,
strange to say, the sound continued il
their new abode, and has been heard by
many others. 1t resembles, to dali
hearers, the murmur of a shell placed
to the ear; to.acute hearers, the sounds
consist of hute-like notes vibrating in
rapid succession.

THE TREASURE THAT WAS
FOUND IN a TREE.
From the Philadelphia Telegram.

FROM the PHllduelphIa Telegram.
About month ago Jacob Klinck, q
farmer, near Fox Chase, was saving
down large chestnut tree, when the
saws teeth came in contact with some
metallic substance. Fearing the pres
ence of something explosive, he directed
the workmen to saw Oh the other side of
the tree. They did SO. After the tree
had been felled, gold watch, two gold
PENCIL cases and gold chain were
'ound imbedded in the wood, 18 inches
lrom the surface. They were wrapped
in soiied sock. The tree was sawn off
close to the ground. and they had evi-
dently been hidden st the junction Of
two roots, and the wood had grown over
and inclo5ed them. The watch was old
fashioned, having case which could be
detached, and was inscribed with the
date 1740 One of the pencil cases was
provided with pen. The other had
only pencil and was minus the seal.
The chain WAS long and intended to
pass around the neck of the wearer.
There was also gold key, which, how
ever, did not fit the watch. The tree
had attained great age, being about
six feet in diameter. An old mansion
once stood near by, and it is supposed
that the articles In question were buried
during the war Of the revolution. The
watch was uninjured, except that the
hands were rusted off. The finder has
had it repaired, and will exhibit it to
any who are curious to see such a relic.
He liSes about mile above Fox Chase,
on the county line.

The expenses of conducting a farm
are about the same whether it yields
much or little. 1t costs about as much
to harvest a half ton of hay per acre
as two tons, aud cost as much to cult
vate an acre Of corn that produces 10
bushels as it does one that produces
100, besides the use of the land, cost
Of fencing, care, management, etc.
Seek then to produce heavy crops, for
there is where the profit lies.
