An Ancient Burial Mound in
Pennsylvania.

On Wednesday, morning last we
made a visit to an interesting mound,
containing the remains of large mum.
Der of human bodies. This mound is
one of two situated on the farm OF

Washington County. The mound Wis

in field near the Boon residence. 1t

its proportions destroyed.

there in some systematic order.

many kinds of stone deposited there,

localities. This led him to more close

manifest that 0ne-half of the elevation

The bodies seem to have been ar
ranged according to very peculiar

he found in each instance the bodies
radiating like the rays of star from

of each body was placed. Underneath
the shoulders of each he found flat

had been entirely amalgamated with

We secured some of the best specimens

There is every evidence that the per-

Haste in Building.

THE go-ahead spirit of our people
leads them to do all things in tile brief
est time possible: and the building of
dwelling, which should be thing TO
endure for ages, is usually performed
in the course of a few months. from
the excavation to the finishing touches
of the painters brush. Good sense
ought to teach man that a house
built in such haste will not stand the
test OF climatic changes. We have
known men to erect houses Of quite a
pretentious character in the space of
three months. and they claimed good
deal of merit for the ability to push
such an enterprise through in SO short
a time. But we know that house 81
built will show within a twelvem0ntll
| that haste is not the most commerda-
bic virtue in house-buiding. Some OF
| the defects which will be sure to ap-
pear we can name: Cracked ceilings
and walls wide openings between the
base-boards and floors: door frames
out of true, and doors that will not
shut; Says in foundation and roof
gaps around castings and stairways
and openings between the floor boards
wide enough to admit free circula-
ton of air. \ house cannot he built
solidly and be built hluriedly. On this
subject the american BhHider says
1T is Il pity that we could not begin
the new century with more thought
and deliberation in building. not only
| as the inception of thoroughly orig
inal style worthy of this republic, hut
also as to the greater durability Ui
work. Future building in this com-
try must have reference to the latter,
or failure will he the result. '--Detyojt

The land purchased by the enterprising Doc
