Editor DemOcrat-I find here a field for the
seekers of science. In this yard are numerous
little graves about twenty inches long. They
are lined at the sides and ends with flat rocks,
set up edgewise. Many years after the house
was built they were discovered by the dirt
wearing away and exposing the rocks. Most
Of them have been examined. They find in
them diminutive Skeletons but they show to
have been full-grown people, having full set
Of teeth and mature proportions. These
graves are found In various places in the
country. Who they were or In what age they
lived | have been unable to learn; history
gives no account Of such q race. They must
have been q superstitious people, from their
mode of urial-perhaps believing they would
be transmitted into another existence In the
graves are found various earthen vessels of
singular shape and material, also numerous
shells and ornaments Shells that have been
taken out-one, a large sea shell, with pictures
and peculiar designs carved on it. supposed to
mean something If any one was able to deci-
pher them; they show ingenuity and me-
chanism. This place is at the foot Of Milllsick
mountain. The mountain Is some fifteen Or
twenty miles in circumference, and sur
rounded by q paratively level country; it
has an altitude Of many hundred feet above
the level of the country, and can only be as
cended with difficulty by tfootmen.. was one
of the number to scale the summit; found it

To the Editor Of the Democrat
In looking over your paper this morning [
find communication from several city en-
ployees asking advice IL they ought to sell
their time for July and August, amounting
In all to 5000, for $50, that is, forty cents on
the dollar.
In connection with this subject, which is q
life or death ono to q large number Of fam
lilies depending on the city employees for
their support, we have been looking into the
premium bond plan published by the City
Council In 1876, and we find there an ord-
nance passed by the Council unanimously
August 81, 1875, which says: ''Be it further
ordained, That all drawn series or numbers
of premium bonds shall be received by the
city for all Dues licenses, taxes or debts of
any description, at their face value and inter
ests.' Yeas-Bertol Brown. Bouny, Burke,
Landry. Mccarthy, Pilsbury. Charles j.
Leeds, Mayor.
II the present Council will extend this ordi-
nance to all the employees and creditors of
the city for their years Indebtedness and put
them on the same footing as the holders of
drawn numbers of the premium bonds, until
the first day of January next, they will enable
their employees to pay many. If not all, their
creditors with their time certificates at par,
in place of having to sell them at thirty or
forty cents on the dollar.
Respectfully. A CITIZEN.
