will remember that large piece of pet
rified wood, as it was at first supposed
to be, was last summer found on the
farm Of II. Sherman in the northwestern

ment of the tooth of q mastodon.
Ditching was resumed this week in the
same spot, and various other bones, some
ten pieces in all, were exhumed on
Thursday morning at depth of Is

greatly decayed, but are supposed to be
the ends of a rib and fragments of YER

Powers, sister of Mrs. Eubank, with
whom she resided at No. % Warren

instrumental in ordering a coroner's
inquest, which was held this morning by
a jury and Justice Sarau. The testi-
mony of the physicians was to the effect
that she had taken ergot and black pep
per tea, from the effects of which peri

cesased had come to her death from
peritonetis.-O Oshkosh Northwestern.
