A STRANGE FIND.

BEELEFoNTAINE, ONO, March
"a, "Truth is stranger than fc-
tion." " ho can gainsay it? OF
all the strange happenings of the
busy world, Or Of all the fantastic
stories emanating from the brain
of man, there is nothing that can
not be matched by the acciden-
tai discoveries of everyday life
The oldest place of sepuIture
for the bones of a human being
probably ever conceived has just
been discovered near Spring
Hills, in Champaign County,
near the line of this county. The
facts are briefly as follows:
A party of men consisting of
Henry Setter and others cut
down large ash tree. It made
two saw-logs, each fourteen feet
long. The logs are now in the
Walker mill yard here. On top
of these, thirty feet from the
ground, imbedded in the solid
timber, and looking from the
ring around it, as if it had been
there for ages, was found the
thigh-bone of an adult human
being, presumably a mans.
Let it be borne in mind that
this bone was in a solid log,
though too short for a saw-log;
that the timber all around it was
green; no knot-holes or dead
wood. How did it get there?
When discovered one of the men
struck into it with the bit of his
OK. The ak broke, and the piece
is still firmly embedded in the
bone. Of course speculation is
rife as to this mysterious circum-
stance, and rumors of a murder
committed many years ago,
where all the parts of the body
were discovered but the head
and one thigh-bone, are afoat.
Be that as it may, the facts are
vouched for on unimpeachable
testimony, and the bone speaks

LOST CHILD.

Nothing SO excites and distresses
q community in the country, as the
news that q neighbor has lost a
child. Death is certain, and may
be borne because Of the teachings
OF religion and the absence of sus-
pense. But the thought Of little
child crazed from fear, wandering
helpless and alone through the wild
woods IS dreadful. All are linked
together in sympathy for the dis
tressed parents. All turn out to
search, and there is no feeling like
the relief that comes with knowl-
edge that the child is found. On
the other hand, how fearful the
failure.
Our friend, George Hall, informs
us that on last Saturday, more than
800 people in the settlement above
Dykes mill, secured the country in
search of a little child seven years
old, the son of W. Fl. Randle. He
was missed at noon when the search
began. The people for miles
around took part, and with numbers
continually increasing, the search
continued all night Saturday night,
all day Sunday until in the evening
when the little fellow was discoy-
cred IL miles from home in Dor
cheate swamp. When first seen he
was wild and crazy, when spoken
to, he ran for dear life and hid be-
hind a stump. Two faithful dogs
accompanied the child, and were
disposed to prevent the party who
discovered him from coming near.
By coaNing and gradual approaches
he was at last reached, soothed
and quieted, but it was a long time
before he came to his right mind.
The poor little fellow had no coat
on, ard mist have suffered greatly
from the cold. Persons present de-
clare that they never witnessed so
affecting scene as the meeting of
parents and child. The mother
crazed and almost heart-broken
with suspense-the father had just
recovered from long and serious
spell of illness, and was very weak.
Their condition was dreadful to
contemplate during the "a or 80
hours previous to his recovery

MIR. Newhouse, however, is cynical
