\ Giant Indian.

\ farmer, residing near Montague,
\. j., while digging holes for peach
trees on his farm, few days since,
unearthed the bones of an Indian
probably a chief. The thigh bones
are nearly three feet in length, while
those of the other parts of the frame
are as large in proportion, indicating
a person not less than eight or nine
feet high. Beneath the bones were
also found two pipes, twelve brass
arrow-points, nineteen spiral-shapcd
pieces of brass, a flint arrow head,
and quantity of red paint powder.
The largest pipe, which resembles
a bIacksmith's tongs, is Of pewter.
The bowl rises to the height of ten
inches, while the handle is about
seventeen inches long. From the
upper edge of the bowl extend two
small projections, on which are fast
ened the miniature statues of a pair
of owls.

Plans have been arranged for the speedy

which will give unbroken connection
with Louisville, st. Louis and the South:

Of the Springfield, Jackson and Pomeroy
road. A table is given in the pamphlet
which shows that when these extensions
are completed the Chesapeake and Ohio

"Late in 1878 the Western Nail Asso-
citation met 10 consider what was known
as the Powell plan for a pool to regulate
production, and to keep the supply pro.
portionate to the demand. The scheme
was rejected, and nails began to go still
lower. In the spring sales were made as
low as SI75 per keg, II not lower, and,
with one exception, the mills at Pitts
bnrgh ceased work rather than sell at the
prices. The mill that continued in opera
lion in part refused to take orders below
s. card, and only run as it could get such
orders. 1t began to look as though the
report that certain mills had determined
10 freeze out certain Others was true, but
they were getting cold in the process. In
June the market stifrened at Pittsburgh to
s. %, but Wheeling still held Its 81 90. In
June some Of the idle Pittsburgh mills re-
suned, and early in July Wheeling ad-
yanced her card to s. 10, still refusing to
meet the So % OF Pittsburgh. In July

A Suggestion for The DOCTORS.

have noticed lately certain cows feed
ing by the river bank upon the seed pods
Of the thorn apple (datura stramoniuml
which is a powerful narcotic poison. All
the information l can obtain to my en-.
quries ia that the COWS thrive on them.
Now 1t Is singular fact, that my eldest
son has developed d%iphtheria five times i n
direct consequence Of drinking milk, and
seeing the animals eating such deleterious
food has suggested to me the e~xpediency
Of laying the matter before the medical
fraternity Of this city, that they may de-
termine II there is sufficient poison In the
seeds, or II there would be enough assimi-
lated to render the lacteal secretions alb

In short, II there is any relation between
such food and the diphtheria, which has
been such a scourge in Wheeling. This
weed Is very prevalent in this andadjaCent

COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE


We do not understand what our CORES
pondent means by a strong Government
in the sense OF the personal executive
The Government is Just what the constitu'
ton makes it, and it is already made, and
the executive Gun do no more nor lessthan
execute the laws that Congress enacts. A
President can be weak or strong as regards
his vetoes, or as regards his appointments
to office, or as regards the way in which
he eniorces o law, but OF himself he can
not make the Government strong. Gen
eral Grant was eight years in the Prest'
dency, and during that time he changed
his cabinet officers ottener than any Pres
ident since the Government was formed.
President Hayes made good selections to
start with, and has never changed one
of them, unless we call the resignation oil
Secretary McCreary, to becose q us
Judge, q change. Gen. Grant, call him
strong or weak, did not maintain the
strength of the Republican party. On the
contrary, tho party dwindled to a minori'
ty in both houses. He had strongpcrson.
al attachments, and hung on to a class
Of men around him much longer than he
should have done. The kind of strength
of purpose that he manifested did notpro.
duce harmony in the Republican party,
but on the contrary alienated manyof its
best men.
We have never charged that Gen. Grant
was not a well.meaning President, but he
made serious mistakes, and therefore there
is no call to put him back in the place for
n third term.

since 1858 make an interesting study. In
March Of the year just named the price
was s., the highest then ever obtained, and
which was not again reached untilin Feb
ruary, 1868. The market gradually and
slowly advanced from this time forward
for while and the record shows that in the
early part OF 1854, So rs was reached. The
nail market was remarkably active during
that year, and the following prices were
obtained: /.
