appeared TO be a grave, about six feet
long, and three feet wide. In this

the petrified forearm and hand of a

a red stone pipe, in perfect condition,

Build UP a Homestead.

The feeling that you are settled and
fixed will induce you to work to improve
your farms, to plant orchards, to set out
shade trees, to inclose pastures, to build
comfortable outhouses, and each sue
cessive improvement is bond to bind
you still closer to your homes. This will
bring contentment in the family. Your
wives and daughters will fall in love
with the country, your sons will love
home better than grogshops, and prefer
farming to measuring tape or profession
al loafng, and you will be happy in see
ing the contented and cheerful faces Of
your families. Make your home beauti-
full, convenient, and your children will
love it above all other places; they will
leave it with regret, think of it with
fondness, come back to it joyfully, seek
their chief happiness around their home
fireside.
Women and children need more than
meat, bread and raiment; more than acres
of corn and cotton spread out all around
them. Their love for the beautiful must
be satisfied. Their tastes must be cult
waited their sensibilities humored, rot
shocked. To accomplish this good end
home must be made lovely, conveniences
multiplied, comforts provided, and
cheerfulness fostered. There must be
both sunshine and shade, luscious fruit
and fragrant flowers, as well as corn and
cotton. The mind and heart as well as
the fields must be cultivated; and then

A GENUINE WINDFALL.
After Fifteen Years Pennsylvania Be-
quest Turns Out to be Worth Half a
Million.
fFrom the Indianapolis Journal

[From the Indianapolis Journal.]
About the biggest thing In the way OF
windfall that has been chronicled, fo1
10 these many days, has come to light
within the past few days in this city.
During the winter months Cobb & Bran
ham have had in their employ man by
the name of D. A. Br1in, who has en-
gineered a coal cart with skill and
ability. Bruin lived on Yandes street
with wife and three children, and has
been in somewhat Strengthened circum-
stances. Mr.. and Mrs. Bruin lived in
the Lehigh valley, Pennsylv ania, many
years ago, and nearly twenty years ago
Mr.. Burns, the father of Mrs. Bruin,
decided her and her brother one thou
sand-acre tract of mountain land, which
was then comparatively valueless, and
was chiefly productive of underbrush
and rattlesnakes. The Bruins moved
West shortly after this, at length find
ing a heaven in Indianapolis. The
brother remained in Pennsylvania, but
at some distance from his mountainous
possessions, and consequently knew but
little about it, though the taxes were
prudently kept paid up, as it was ex-
pected that the land might increase in
value. Not having the advantages of a
very extensive education, in fact being
meagerly endowed in this regard, the
brother and sister have not carried on
much of correspondence nor kept a
very close watch on their property, be-
ing quite in ignorance of it's value.
Imagine, then, the surprise of the
worthy Bruin and his wife at receiving a
call from party of Eastern capitalists,
about ten days ago, and an offer of
$4,000 for a ten years lease of the
aforesaid tract. The cautious couple
concealed their feelings and asked the
advice of friends upon the best course to
pursue in the matter. They were adj
vised to wait, and accordingly announced
that they would not at once accept the
offer. The men returned East, and
three or four days since another set Of
capitalists from Pennsylvania called
upon them, and, after the usual amount
of dickering, proposed to give 100000
for ten years lease of the ground,
800, 900 to be paid on the 1st of July
next and the balance in nine annual pay
ments. This proposition was accepted,
aad the gentlemen left for Nevada to
look after other mining interests. They
will return in few days, and the
Bruins, accompanied by a member of
the firm of Cobb & Branham, will go to
Pennsylvania and close the compact.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bruin are past the prime
of life, but bid fair to live many years to
enjoy their suddenly acquired wealth.
