Discovery OF Giant Remains in Ohio.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati EnQuir-
er, in describing the mound in which the
gigantic skeletons lately found in Muskingum
county, Ohio, were deposited, says it was
about GA feet long and 35 feet wide, top meas
urement, and gently sloped dow to the hill
where it was situated. A number OF stumps
of trees were found on the slope, standing in
two rows, and on the top of the mound were
an oak and a hickory stump, all of which
bore marks of great age. All the skeletons
were found on a level with the hill, and about
eight feet from the top of the mound. In
one grave there were two skeletons-one
male and one female. The female face was
looking downward, the male being immedi-
ately over, with the face looking upward.
The male skeleton measured nine feet in
length, and the female eight feet. In another
grave were also found two skeletons-male
and female-with the female face looking
upward and the male face looking downward.
The male frame was nine feet four inches in
length, and the female eight feet. In another
grave was found a female skeleton, encased
in a clay coffin, holding in her arms the frail
skeleton of a child three feet and a half long,
by the side of which was an image, which,
upon being exposed to the atmosphere,
crumbled rapidly. Seven others were found
in single graves and lying on their sides. The
smallest of the seven was nine feet in length,
and the largest ten. One singular circumstance
connected with this discovery was the fact
that not a single tooth was found in either
mouth, except in the one encased in the clay
coffin.
On the south end of the mound Was erected
a stone altar, four feet and a half wide and
twelve feet long, built on an earth founda-
ton nearly four feet high, having in the mid
die two large ~tiagstOnes, upon which sacrifices
were undoubtedly made, tor upon them were
oun charred bones, cinders and ashes, This
was covered by about three feet of earth.
This excavation was made under the
Muskingum County Historical Society, and
the things alluded to in this letter, or dis.
patch, can be verified by a number of wit
nesses who were present and watched the
work as it progressed. 1t was pursued
with great interest and diligence
there being the strongest incentive to pros.
ecute the investigation, for such remarkable
developments in mound-Opening are very
rare, and are therefore fascinating in the ex.
IRENE. Their future labors were also re.
warded with additional developments, which
if they do not throw additional light upoI
this country, will at least stimulate research
What is now a profound mystery, the re
suit of this excavation may in time become
the key to unlock still further mysteries tha
centuries ago we're commonplace affairs, is
stone that was found resting against the heae
of the clay coffin above described. 1t is an
irregular-shaped red sandstone, weighing II
pounds, being strongly impregnated with OK
ide of iron, and bearing upon one side tw'
lines Of hieroglyphics.

Newspaper Advertising Bureau.

Advertisers who want to reach the people of a State must advertise in the best papers printed fn the leading towns.
 There is a constant call upon to make selection for advertisers and to name favorable prices at which adver- Using may be secured.
 There is a wide difference between Lhe prices demanded by newspapers fer am advertisement to be inserted a month and one which is to appear for a year. Experienced and successful advertisers contract for the longest period; but there are many who are prevented from doing this by the nature of their advertisement, or because the adyer- tfsement is one which they wish to sry experimentaIIy before making cons tracts for any extended time.
 Bearing i'm mind the wants Of advar- tisers we have agreements with lead- ing local papers in every State by which we insert advertisements for a single month at prices aPprOximating the yearly rate.
 So great is the reduction from regular monthly rates, that advertisers do not understand how the advertising can be secured for the price which we name. For instance: In ihe State of COnnectI- cut, a Hist of IS selected Daily and Weekly papers. which would cost S65.1s if contracted with singIy, we are able to offer for S26s
 We secure a paper at the State capital, one in each town having as much as 5000 ,and at the court house town i'm POPuIOus and wealthy cOun- ties.
 Persons wishing a circular with lists of papers and the prices charged for advertising are desired to address

A Very Proper Question,

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 As taxpayer and so-as well as on other grounds-interestedi in knowing what is going on, would ask why the New Haven Board of Education cannot give us statement of what is really being done in the High School
 What and how much work is each teacher doing? What are the salaries of each2 Is the school really what it is called, or are the proper candidates for High School instruction so few that the rooms must be filled, and ap- pearances kept up, by drawingi in those whose age and attainments make them f5 subjects for schools of lower grade only? The pub lie cannot, so far as know, get the answers to these questions from any publication of the Board, so that we are left in the dark, as far as any light from that source goes; and when some official occasionally tells us something in the papers, we are then positively befogged. IF, :" for instance, in replying recently to 8 charge that the High School was standing in the way of our having a supply of well trained mechanics, fitted for their work and proud of it, begins by speaking of s'our New Haven High School system as ''a system which opens the door of education to both rich and poor" This is large description, and gives us an idea of thousands who may be crowding in through such @ magnificent portal. But he goes on to say that statistics OO HUI JuStAAy tuS A5SSItAOu tubG hlSu School is sending out upon the world scores of young men who are idly waiting for va cant clerkships, during the last nine years there has been au average of less than six young men year graduating from the High School-accuratelyf five and five ninths so that it is not enough of High School to do any harm. Which idea are we to take that of the E'wide door, or of the few that enter :? At all events, is not the door unnec- essarily wide and costly? The public should have full information on this subject. We pay too much, and are taxed too heavily to be left in the dark as to where tho money goes
 The Governor of Maine says ''The system of free High Schools has not proved all that was hoped for it.'' s'The law appropriatine money for their support was suspended in 1679." In Massachusetts, the State that the system comes from, President Eliot says The feeling in relation to High Schools has changed in favor of private and endowed academies" and bill has been prepared for the next Legislature providing that ''any town in the commonwealth, which is required by law to maintain High School may, instead thereof, send it's High School pupils to an academy or private school which gives con- potent instruction of the kind required, and which is not controlled by any sect or denom- ination."
 If other States have come, and are coming, to the conclusion that the High School system is costly and unwise, the question will be raised here, and we should have accurate and minute information as to what is actually done, what is paid, and for what services in time and labor. C1v1s.

PecuIfaritfes of Rocky Mountain Trout
 IL sttar the Qhicaco


 Before sunrise we were up and ready for business. We stood on the bank of the beau tIful Platte river, which is supplied by the melted snow on the mountains, as clear as crystal and as cold as ice and drank in the beauties of the grand panorama which sur rounded us, before making the first cast Ear to the west, pillared against the sky like thunder heads on the eve of an approaching storm, arose the Snowy Range or Great Di- vide, while to the right and left arose, almost perpendicularly, thousands of feet high, the walls of the canyon; rough, rugged and pie turesque, past all power of description. The Norway spruce and fir trees filled the air with aromatic fragrance, and we stood transfixed and almost forgetful of our purpose, when a splash brought us back to earth and in a mo- ment two fly rods made quick movements, and four flies dropped like snow flakes on the water.
 There was an instant of suspense, and then the water around those flies seemed to be Iit- erally alive with trout, each eager for the su- premacy. We each landed pair, and as I stopped down to unlock my beauties could not have been more surprised if two mackerel had been there instead of trout. I had taken speckled trout in New England New York, Pennsylvania and the Lake Superior country and had never seen a trout like this and in fact had never read or heard of them Instead of the small carmine specks of the Salmo fon- tinalis we found larger ones, almost black, and uSdEly O1 LuSn SlGuhI6Q OaCK or the middle, and growing more frequent as the caudle fin Is approached, until it's extremity is almost covered with them. These spots at first glance, looked abnormal, and one is almost induced to think them parasitic until closer examination shows their true character. Along the lateral line from the gill covers back two thirds of the way are located diamond shaped. though not very well defined, salmon-coiored spots, these being quite bright in some indi- viduals, and nearly wanting in others. On the under side of the gill covers bright yer million strip extends nearly the whole length, this being probably the most distinctive marking of the fish. The flesh is white in stead of salmon-colored, and as delicate and finely favored as any Salmo fontinalis that ever swan.
 We took but few fngerlings, and none weighing over 8 pound, but our take was quite uniform, running from quarter to half 8 pound. Further down the river, in the foot hills, fifteen or twenty miles above Den yer, they take them with live bait which weigh from five to ten pounds, but we were informed that the larger ones will seldom or never rise to fly, and our experience would lead us to the same conclusion as larger ones than we basketed made feints at our flies, but would not make genuine rise.

The Meaning of ssRoOm.,,
IFrom the Toronto GIobe.l

Everybody. it seems, has been misinformed as to the origin of the ''boom"-of the term we mean not of the ''boom" itself, which ev- erybody knows owes it's origin, along with the "hum, to the N. P. Boon" has con- monly been supposed to be derived, not from the booming of the bittern," but from the booming noise made by river in food. It seems that there is much more plausible ex- planation than this. Miners in the Far West have practice of conducting explorations by 8 means which they call blooming" It con- sists in damming up some gorge on a noun tain side and allowing the water from melting snow to accumulate till an immense reservoir has been formed. When the pond is full an outlet is made and the water rushes down with irresistible force, overwhelming every
 thing iu it's path. Rocks, trees, boulders are hustled along, the top soil is carried away and huge ravines are cut in the mountain side.
 Sometimes gullies of seventy-five and hun dred feet wide are formed extending to the foot of the mountain. Rich veins and depos- its of ore are often uncovered by this process, and the word booming" describing 1t IS seen to have some real significance. It IS singular that the word boomer is used among the native Australians to signify anything great or wonderful. A large animal of any kind is called 'tboomer," though more frequently the word is used by the settlers to indicate the male kangaroo. The term is seen again in ''boomerang" and many other native words.
