They were probably of last years hatch. One was a. common borer; the other had long arms and legs. Having got out all the borers he could find he thought he would try an experiment..

curiosity in the shape Of an ancient i'm

this country their home before civiliza-

mother with sleeping babe in her
arms. Mr.. Jacob Kline of this city, who
presented it to Mr.. Herbert. ia letter
accompanying the image informs HIM
that it was dug up eight miles west OF
Charleston, Mo-, from what IL called '.In-

belonged to race OF people of which no

our best and smartest historians. Mr..
Herbert takes much pleasure in showing
the strange object to his friends, and

TWO MIN KILLED.

From the Golconda Herald of the 10th
We learn that on Monday of last week an
accident occurred at the Rose Clare
mines which caused the instant death OF
two men and the severe injury of three
others. 1t appears the timbers in one OF
the drifts gave way, and the fall of rock
and earth from above killed one Frank
Shepard and Andrew Apt, the former a
Welshman and the latter German. OF
the three injured one got his leg broken,
one received a severe cut on the arm.
and the other received internal injuries.
The timbers in the shaft gave way some
few weeks since and were repaired, but
since that time have been considered dam
gerous. Three men who were down in
the shaft escaped unhurt.n
