The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1879-08-12

1t is reported that Il tract Of wild land in
West Virginia, for which Horace Greeley
in his lifetime paid ten or twelve thousand
dollars, has so appreciated in value that
$4,000 have been offered for it. The shares
in the Tribune which Dir. Greeley left to his
children as Il certain source OF income have
not paid cent of dividend for eight years,
while the debt OF Cornelius J. Vanderbilt,
which he could have had no hope OF its
ever being repaid, has proved OF more ben
eft to his heirs than any part OF the estate
he left behind him.
Edwin Forrest, driven by John Murphy,
made the fastest mile that was ever made in
the world b. 4 trotler on Saturday afternoon
on the three-q quarters track on Mr.. Donner'S
farm, near Tarrytown. The first quarter
was made in 32t, the half in l:05s, the three
quarters in 1881, and the full mile in 2:114.
Three watches were held on him. The fast
est made the mile in 2:113. and the >lowest
in 2:lo, consequently the time, according to
rule, is 2:ll4.

consideration he would cure inc within thirty days
from The time he commenced. In cast he failed TO

he applied it nearly every day tor five weeks when
the disease entirely disappeared very cheerfuy
paid him the amount agreed upon. and then asked
HIM What this rrIaedy was. and he replied that IL
was no other than CUTICURA.
Since that Time have had no trouble from this

A RELIC OF THE MoUND-BUTLDERs.-
From the Cincinnati Commercial. ]-Cdn
bridge, Ohio, August 9.-While excayating
for spring for rennion purposes to-day on
the lands Of Rev. w. Fl. Mcfarland. near
this place, John S. Gallup came In contact
with what appeared to be a smooth-cnt
stone, and dug down to the foot Of the third
step. where he found basin made in the
solid rock that will contain fifty barrels or
more OF water. 1t was cleaned out, and u
stream is pouring into it from the crevlcc
OF the rock at the rate OF 10000 gallons
day. There is no written account OF these
hewn steps and basin, and the oldest citi-
zen had no knowledge OF their existence.
This was probably an important watering
place during the meund-builders' period.
At any rate it is a subject for investigation
by the antquarians. 1t is regarded as
great curiosity and wonderful discovery,
and is the theme Of all conversation on the
streets tonight.
