4 GREAT CCBIOSTTY.-Au extraordinary
relic of antiquity, OF an age 50 remote that
the human mind can hardly grasp its limits,
was last week found by John Price in STRAIT
ford's lime quarry near Mt. Rock Mills
That II is petrifpd human foot iHprcSseS
itself upon the mind az first sight, and the
more it is examined the stronger becomes the
conviction that it is so. 1t IS nine inches
LONG and measures six ana Il half inches to
where it is broken of. bears the exact pro-
portion of a foot from the big TO the little toe,
shows the prutrudng bones mp to the ankle
and above that few inches of the leg. The
sole of the foot iS almost level, proving that
the being to whom it had belonged either
walked bGTefOOtUd, or wore sandals or moe
casins. It may be the foot OF an Indian,
though not likely It may have belonged to
the mOuud-huiderS, or to 4 lace long pTece-
ding them, but that il is Il relic bearing the
impress of thousands of years, can hardly
admit of n doubt. 1t is great curiosity and
has already excited the wonder of all who
have seen it. In connection with this we
may mention the fact, given rs years ago by
the late DR.. Joseph Henderson that the only
fossil Trilobite that had ever been discovered
up to that time in this region was taken from
this same belt of rock but few hundred
yards from the place this singular relic was
found The trilnbite is found in large num-
5ers in the granite quarries of Massachusetts,
Trenton Falls, y. Y, Lebanon, OHIO, and
also in Northern Europe. 1t is the name of
a group of fossil cTuStaceanS. so called from
the three lUbeS into which the body Is divided.
DR.. Locke found fine specimen in Adams
county, Ohio, 20 inches long and - i'm width.
The fossil Is remarkable for the perfection of

headquarters in New York that the vic
tory in Maine to-day viii prove even
greater in proportion than hat in Yer

confidence in the state from the tone of
Blaine's letters TO him, the same Blaine
on the day after the election telegraph
ing to Garfield that he was certain four
days before the election of getting a ma
jority of 5000. That Jewell las done a
good deal of rough lying about Maine
