an interesting mound, containing the
remains; of large number of human
bodies This mound is one of the two
situated on the farm Of VIM. Boon, in
Peters township, Washington county.
The mound visited is situated on the
highest ground in a field near the
Boon residence, it has been almost en-
tirely dug over, and its proportions
destroyed.
A short time since, Mr.. Boon, need
ing stone for some purpose on his
farm removed the earth at this eleva-
ton, and was surprised at the regu-
larity Of position presented by the
stones, it evidently appearing that
they were placed there in some sys-
tematic order. Another popularity
also presented itself, and that was
that there were many kinds of stone
there, some of them origi-
nally from distant localities. This
led him to more closely investigate
the mound, when he found evidences
of an extensive burial place. On care
full observation it was manifest that
one-half of the elevation had been at
some remote time disturbed. In that
part of the remainder which helm
spected he found the remains of at
least eleven or twelve human bodies.
These remains were very much de-
cayed, even the best preserved pre-
senting but fragments 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 beeL placed there a
great many years ago. In some IN
stances, the ribs, jaw bones, and
teeth and phalanges of hands were
passably we'll preserved.
The bones seemed to have been ar
ranged according to a very peculiar
system. Mr.. Boon informed US that
he found in each instance the bodies
radiating like the rays of star from
a central bowlder against which the
head of each body was placed. Un
derneath the shoulders of each body
he found fiat, shelvy kind.o stone.
The remaining stones used as wall
of separation, or covering (this was
hard to determine, from the advanced
stage of decay, were Systematically
placed or built, so that they over
Tapped, and made it difficult to remove
them unless the keystone could be
first. found.
With Mr.. Boon's assistance we
barred the earth from the stones in one
place, and saw something of their Pc
culiar disposition. In this case the
body had been entirely amalgamated
with the surrounding earth. The pc
culiar nature of the soil, and the shape
| of the body-which could be traced
indicated the certainty of this assimi-
Iatien. We secured 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
centuries ago. The soil containing
their remains is elevated and dry,
and the surroundings one would think
favorable to their long preservation.
and yet, as intimated,s in some in
stances only the slightest trace of
their existence could be obtained.
Who are these people? Who placed
their bodies here? Were they of a
prehistoric race?-Ca anonsbmy Her

WHAT THE MICROSCOPE REVEALS
Lawenbeck tells us of an insect seen
with the microscope, of which twenty
seven millions would only equal a
mite.
Insects of various kinds may be
seen in the cavities of a grain of sand.
Mold is a forest of beautiful trees,
with the branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is covered
with scales like fish; a single grain
of sand would cover one hundred and
fifty of those scales, and yet scale
covers FIVE hundred pores. Through
these narrow openings the perspira-
ton forces itself like water through a
sieve.
Each drop Of stagnant water con-
tains world of living creatures, and
all swimming with as much liberty as
whales in the sea.
Each leaf has colony of insects
grazing on it, like cows on a meadow.

We publish this morning a letter
from Hon. S. S. Fem generating ex-
Governor Thompson from all blame in
regard to the appointment of Bennett.
The circumstances against him were
strong, and led the majority of the
people to think that he was the tool of
Bennett. 1t is with pleasure that we
correct the error and note that Mr..
Thompson rendered Mr.. Feen valuable
assistance in his protests against the
confirmation of Bennett. We believe
in giving every man his just dues,
and as Mr.. Thompson did assist in
bringing about the resignation of Ben
nett, he deserves credit for it. Be-
sides the letter referred to we have
other facts, collected through private
and reliable sources, which go to
prove that Mr.. Thompson's labors
were in behalf of the people of this
Territory. One is that he resigned
after being informed that the Presi.
dent desired his resignation. This
alone clears Mr.. Thompson while it
condemns Bennett.

Independent journalism.

There were few journals of independent pro-
fessions in the campaign which ended last week
which seemed to think, says the Tribune, tina, the
only way to be independent was to mount the
housetop and throw cabbages at both parties, Sc
Letting always the most unsavory vegetables for
the particular candidate they professed to favor.
About once month they would say "On the
whole, our preferences are for Hayes" and dur.
ing the rest Of the time they worked for Tilden.
Ilarpers Weekly gives this just estimate of the
efforts of these journals 'During the campaign
that has just ended there were some newspapers
which seemed to consider themselves 'independ-
emit because under languid profession of prefer
ence for Gov. Hayes they sedulously promoted the
election of Gov. Tilden. Their sneers and rid
cule, their nagging' and nnuendo, were all Law
ished upon the republicans; and by every kind of
indirection they served the cause of reaction, or
imitation, and Of hopeless degradation of admins
tratiye methods thousand-fold more effectively
than if they had been frank and declared dem o.
cratic organs. 1t seems to us not only unpatriot c
but dlshonorable, to take party position in a
contest of the kind just closed, and to maintain il
in q way which confounds every honest supporter
of the party, and encourages and delights its OPP
ponents. We know that We speak the feeling of
the best republicans everywhere in the country in
saying that no such damage was done to their
cause during the campaign as by the papers which
declared for Hayes, and then uniformly instllled
into the minds of those favorable to him the pro-
foundest dlsrust Of the republican party"

There is vague suspicion in the public mind
that this delay in the verdict is a conspiracy to
sell newspapers. In the newspaper offices, on
the contrary there is firm conviction that it is
deliberate plot to kill of the editors Tribune.

The story of bargain of President Grant is re.
lated by liarper's Magazine. Just before the close
of the last session of Congress, the President,
while driving one day was so struck by the APP
pearance of a horse prancing before a butcher
cart that he straightway sent for the aproned
parsonage, and bought his horse for $3.50. Sub
sequently, after driving out with Senator Conk-
ling, the President said, "Come to the stable and
look at a new horse I've bought" Mr.. Conklng,
who is judge ofhorses looked him over thorough
ly, poked him here, punched him there, and did
all that Senator and horseman should do in such
a case. "Where did you get him :" asked the
Senator. 81 bought him of butcher replied
the President. GLOW much did you pay for him ?
1.-TWO hundred and fifty dollars" answered Gen.
Grant "Well," responded the Senator, "he may
be very good animal, and doubtless is, but if it
my case | think should rather have the
money than the horse" THAT is what the butch =
er thought" replied the President.

From the New York Tribune.
The Struggle of the Gamblers.

Do people generally realize how much
money is directly at stake on the action Of
three Southern boards of canvassers /?
There are now in John Morrissey's hands
stakes amounting TO larger sum than the
entire National and State campaign ex-
penses OF the republican party, which will
be absolutely lost to few democrats in
this city unless the result is delayed and
befogged until they have had chance to
hedge on their bets. People talk about
the corruption of the campaign. 1t is
as nothing compared with the possible
corruption of the count, when demoralized
by the impending bankruptcy of the
gambling fraternity. More money can
now be proftably used within a fortnight
to prevent the declaration of Hayes cleo
ton than the whole democratic party
used during the whole campaign to secure
the election of Tilden.
We have very little sympathy to waste
on those who stake their money in the
hands of booksellers, for they deserve to
be swindled, as they may expect TO be by
men of this vocation. But some of the
frauds attempted by these men are SO bold
that we stop to expose them at length in
another column. Among the most des-
perate OF the gamblers devices, to
hedge their bad bets and to defraud
those who have guessed better than them
selves, is that of publishing fictitious dis
patches from republicans in the three dis
puted States, giving up the election Of
Hayes. The names of Senator Conover
of Florida and Marshal Wallace of South
Carolina have been thus forged. The de-
sign is TO dispirit republicans, and lead
them TO destroy the pool tickets which
they hold on Hayes, or to bet heavily on
Tilden. The effect in either case is to
benefit the gamblers The customers oil
gamblers can take care of themselves. but
this conspiracy for the utterance of false
news becomes of general Importance
when the whole public is misled by it,
and even newspapers are imposed upon.
We warn the people against dispatches
that "concede' too much.
