evidently his last faithful companion,
and over this entrance, supported by
pegs. is rusty rifle barrel, of the old
fashioned flint-lOck pattern, the stock
having rOtted and fallen to the floor.
There are few other articles in the
room, all petrified, and which we were
unable to identify. The skeleton lies on
its back, but we could find no further
resemblance to human frame, although
the petrificatiOn is very complete.
This wonder is daily attracting large
bodies of people from remote places, and
scientists are busy investigating it and
furnishing theories as to its singular
position and formation. Mr.. Grauser
has been offered $4,000 for the house by
DR.. w. Fl. Manning and other gentlemen
of Miamsburg, Montgomery County, but
has refused it. He will probably receive
much larger sum for it from some scien-
tific institution.
The house appears to be on its original
foundation, and the query arises how
did did it get there, and how did it be-
come petrified there between two large
hills, and at least 30 feet under ground.
1t is not our province to furnish theO-
ries concerning this singular formation
of man and nature, but we hope that
this may so interest some of your we'll
known scientists that they may throw
some additional light6n it. For fur
ther reference, address Mr.. Grauser, or
Mr.. w. P. Morse, GermantOwn; or Mr..
Charles Blossom, editor Bulletin, Miami

refer to this important discovery.

A Tough Story About Prehistoric
W0nder-A Fortified House.
Special Correspondence of the Inter ocean.
WEST SONORA, Ohio, Dec. IL.
Yesterday your correspondent visited
other years which has ever been unearth-
ed and discovered in this State. 1t has
been found near Germantown village
ing are the facts, as aScertained by us of
Mr.. Lewis Grauser, on whose farm it was
first noticed: A few weeks ago gentle
man from Richmond, Ind, passing by
Mr.. GrauSer'S residence, drank from a
spring near the roadside. Being an old
coal miner, of course any indications of
such minerals would be discovered by
him, and he observed to byStander that
was so confident of the truth of his asser-
tiOns that he obtained permission of the
owner to investigate it, and set to work
on the following Monday. He searched
all week with pick and shovel without
finding any further signs of the mineral,
but on Saturday evening his tools struck
upon what was once stick chimney,
popular many years ago with our
pioneers. but now evidently petrified.
This discovery so aroused his curiosity
that he procured the assistance of several
neighbOrs. and they continued the eX-
cavatiOn all night, and on Sunday, when
a large crowd collected at the spot and
the work was so vigorously pushed that
before night there stood before the aston
ished multitude a complete log house,
II by IA feet,
NOW SOLID ROCK.
The house is in perfect condition, with
slab roof and "clinked" walls Its height
is about II feet, and it is mass of white
rock. Every stick in the chimney, every
log, every piece of bark on the roof, and
every hickory withe, binding the logs
together at the door, are perfect stone,
but as distinguishable. as they were
originally. We entered the house through
low door, which is the only aperature
in the walls except the fireplace COM
pgpicating with the chimney.
4he light from these enabledus to see
in one corner of the only room rude
bed, also perfectly petrifed, formed pin
the usual manner of the pioneers by
placing poles in holes in the logs and
supporting them with upright posts. 1t
was covered with clapbOards, and fur
ther with skins and pelts. On this rude
couch is the skeleton of a man about
six feet in length and entirely petrifed.
Behind the open door is

AS showing the durability of timber,
the fact is cited that the piles of bridge
built by Trajan were found, after hav-
ing been driven some 1900 years, to be
petrifed four inches, the rest of the
wood being in its ordinary condition.
The elm piles under the piers of London
bridge have been i'm use more than 200
years, and'are not yet materially decay
ed, and, beneath the foundation of Savoy
place, London, oak, elm, beach, and
and chestnut piles and planks were
found i'm state of perfect preservation,
after having been there for $50 years.
Again, while taking down the old walls
of Tunbridge Castle, Kent, England, there
was found i'm the middle of thick stone
wall timber curb which had been en-
closed for 700 years; and some timber of
an old bridge was discovered while dig
ging for the foundations of a house at
Windsor which must have been placed
there prior to the year 1396.-Near York

A Valuable Suggestion,

1t is easy to arrest the course of the streamlet
among its native hills But when it has flowed
downward into the valley and been multiplied
by Il hundred brooks, it is difficult and some
times impossible task to arrest the mad torrent OF
waters Thus it is with disease. In its earliest
stages, when the patient notes the first symptoms
of its presence (often indicated only by sense of
languor, drowsineSs or a slight headache), it is
easy to arrest its progress and secure relief Bm
when, through carel ssnesS or neglect, it IS al
lowed to develop, complications apt to set in,
and it is no easy task to arrest it. Our grand
mothers taught their daughters that "a stitch. in
time saves nine" A pill in time saves not only
nine, byA oftentimes an incaculabie amount OF
suffering as we'll. If the system be kept thorough
ly ceansed and strengthened, it is almost invut
neEable to disease. When the first symptoms OF
d sease appear, two of DR.. Pierce's Purgative Pei
lets, and a few doses of the Golden Medical Dis
covery, to cleanse the blood, will in almost every
instance arrest the progress of disease and expo
it from the system These who have used them
are the loudest in their praise. Their reputation
isgenuine, depending upon their merits alone
