INDIAN RELICS.
A Newspaper Mans Experience In
Searching for Skulls.

Searching for Skulls.
Len. Smith, the witty Ludlow, KY,
reporter of an evening paper, was the
victim of an amusing joke few days
since, and like all other good things it
leaked out for the benefit Of mankind In
general. Not long since MIR. Smith and
o friend took a ramble along the South
ern Road back of Ludlow for recreation
and perchance few Indian relics ifluck
would throw such rare curlosities In
their way.
After the learned paragrapher had
searched in vain the bed Of a creek for
the coveted skull or shin-bone of some
noted chief of bygone days, he hied him
10 little mouDd-shaped hill, known as
the "old darkey burying ground" which
some sharp country "lark' had informed
him was the last resting place OF all the
great "Injuns" that ever died in this
neck OF woods. Here was the crafty.
ing Intelligence so long sought for by
the good "Deacon," and accidentally
discovered through the medium OF al
innocent country pumpkin.
To commence excavation was instant
ly determined upon, and having found a
piece of an old scythe during his ramble
to work with a will worthy of so scien
tific cause, and the way he made the
dirt fly was a caution to the long slum
bering remains OF the good old moke!
that were slowed away there years age
when "old Kaintuck was a sovereign
State, sahP'
After some hours OF toll the indefati
gable "Deacon" succeeded i'll exhumini
several thick sculls and sundry badl.
battered shinbones. He carefully stowe'
them away in his capacious overcoat
pockets, taking care to let the top OF
scull and the ends OF some shinbone
stick out so as to be seen by the wonder
ing people he would meet on his home
ward march.
| when within few steps Of his res
dence, where he intended to astohis
his amiable wife with a practical lectur
on anal omy and the vast difference bt
tween some skulls and others, he wa
accosted by an old resident, who, o
hearing OF his precious discoveries, il
formed the deluded hunter alter India
relics that he had been desecrating th
old niger graveyard, and at that mt
ment hud his pockets full of the skull
and shinb0nes of defunct darkies instea
of the relics OF the noble red'man.
Well-to put it mild-the deacon
smole a sickly smile and begged "fo
Gods sake to keep the thing quiet les

man did find out ali about it; and, gel

was presided over for two years by that
able and eloquent young divine, Rev.
A. \. Craft. He was transferred to
TitusvIle in the autumn OF 1873, and
there, as in Fredonis, his eloquent al d
fearless sermons are listed TO py multi
tudes. All who have visited the camp
ground on Chautsuqus Lake have been
impressed with the power .! his logic AID
the beauty OF his speech. From over
work and anxiety connected with his
mission, Mr. Craft is occasionally sub
ject to bilious attacks. Sensible in this
rs in all other matters, he does not hest
tate to use for his relief, what his
judgment and experience dictate.
