The Curious Articles Disinterred by Penn
syIvania Farmer.
George V. Morrow, farmer of Mon
rovia, Pa, was working in a stone quarry
on his farm a few days since He had
removed large quantity of earth and
stone and reached the surface of the
rock to be quarried, when he came upon
large number of round stones, different
from any found in the neighborhood.
They were from six to eight inches in
diameter. They were laid so as to en-
close regular oblong space six feet
long and two wide. The space was filled
with earth entirely unlike that sur
rounding and covering the quarry. Mr..
Morrow removed the earth, which was
a foot Deep He found beneath it a ball
of pure lead, weighing eight pounde; a
number ofcurious y formed instruments
and figures, made from the hardest
specimens of rock, and hundreds of
flint arrow heads, spear heads and axes.
The relics filled bushel basket. No
human remains of any kind we're found,
The singular deposit was four feet below
the surface.
