Great Mound I'm PennsyIxania
Skeletons of Ancient People.
(from the Cannonsburg HeraldD

u rom tflt IAnDOnsDurR htThIh'J
On Wednesday morning last we made
a visit to an interesting mound, contain
ing the remains OF large number of hui
man bodies. This mound is one of two
situated on the farm of WIN. Boon, in
Peters township, Washington county.
The mound visited is situated on the
highest ground in a field, near the Boon
residence. 1t has been almost entirely
dug over, and ITS proportions destroyed.
; A short time since, Mr.. Boon, needing
stone for some purpose on his farm, re-
moved the earth at this elevation and
was surprised at the regularity OF position
presented by the stones, it evidently APP
pearing that they were placed there in
some systematic order. Another pccu-
liarity also presented itself, and that was
that there were many kinds of stone de-
posted there some of them originally
from distant localities. This led him to
more closely investigate the mound,
when he found evidences of an extern
sive burial place. On careful observation,
it was manifest that one-haf of
the elevation had been at
some remote time disturbed. In
that part Of the remainder which he in
spected he found the remains OF at least
eleven or twelve human bodies. These
remains were very much decayed, even
the best preserved presenting but frag-
ments Of the bones. The fiat and spongy
bones had almost uniformly disappeared,
and in most cases the long bones broke
at touch, showing that the bodies to
which they belonged had been placed
there great many years ago. In some
instances, the ribs, jaw bones, and teeth
and the phalanges OF hands and feet were
passably well preserved.
The bones seemed to have been ar
ranged according to a very peculiar sys-
TEN. Mr.. Boon informed us that he found
in each instance the bodies radiating like
the rays of a star from a central bowlder
against which the head of each body was
placed. Underneath the shoulders Of
each he found flat, shelvy kind OF stone
The remaining stones, used as a wall Of
separation, or covering (this was hard
10 determine, from the advanced age Of
decay, were Systematically placed or
built. 50 thnt thoy ovorlappad and made
IL difficult to remove them unless the KEY
stone could be first found.
With Mr.. Boon's assistance We barred
the earth from the stones in one place,
and saw something Of their peculiar dis
position. In this case the body had
been entirely amalgamated with the sur
rounding earth. The peculiar nature of
the soil, aud the shape OF the body
which could be traced-indicated the
certainty OF this assimilation. We Sc
cured some OF the best specimens of the
bones.
There is every evidence that the
persons whose bones have thus been
discovered died long since, possibly CEN
turtles ago. The soil containing their re-
mains is elevated and dry, and the sur
roundings, one would think, favorable to
their long preservation, and yet, as init
mated, in some instances only the
slightest trace of their existence could
be obtained. Who are these people :
Who placed their bodies here Were

Never before in the history Of this
county Of Franklin have there been
such promising times in the way OF
bountiful crops Of all things essential
to the support Of man and beast, and
yet, never before have the prospects
appeared SO gloomy. Real estate is
not in the market. 1t would not bring
one fourth its value. One thousand
dollars now has the purchasing capaci-
ty that four thousand dollars had just
before and just after the war. And,
when there is no sale for real estate
there is no money aloat except the lit
tie which spectators bring in, in or
der to get our grain for almost moth
Ing. The fact is, this whole country
is almost, i: not quite, bankrupt. Con
traction of the currency has nearly
ruined US. The money power of the
East and the Snylock demands Of
bondholders have reduced US to star.
vation. Heaven grant that we may
find some relief that will not bring
about communism! The monicd men
the bondholders and bankers
might as well look coming events in
the lace, and consider that their bonds
would not he worth q baubee but for
the labor of the country. And if they
should persist in demanding the pound
Of flesh, we fear that in their efforts to
rule or ruin they themselves may be
ruined. W. tel! you, times are hard
hard upon the labor of the country i;
and if capital should not release its
ron grip, the people who pay the taxes
will force a release by sheer force OF
numbers. Let us reduce the taxes,
and compromise with bondholders
provided the bondholders wish to
compromise. Labor is about to cross
tue Rubicon.
