LUMBER IN MExIco.-The valuable tim
ber resources of Mexico bid fair to see a
merited development under the encourage
ment offered by the Government. "Hith-
erto," says the .Neaican financier, "these
have been almost entirely neglected, and
Mexico has suffered the anomaly of draw
ing large supplies of lumber from Ameri-
can markets. Freights at sea and the cost
of inland transportation have, OF course,
go increased the price Of this lumber as to
have prohi 5ited its general use in the coun-
try. Experience has taught Mexico the
Importance Of developing her own great re-
sources of lumber supply. Hence, there is
already an active movement to secure the
rich timber lands OF the Republic, either by
Government grants or by private purchase.
In Sonora, Chihuahua, Conhuila. Durango,
Sinama, Michoucan, Jalisco, Mexico, Hi
dalgo and Vera Cruz there are vast quaint.
ties of fine woods largely consumed in
American markets, and the coast districts
are covered with virgin forests cf cedar,
ebony, mahogany and other rich woods,
while in all the greater attitudes hickory
and hard cedar, pine, larch, oak, sycamore
and walnut flourish to perfection. The
rapid advance Of railroads is making these
supplies more available, and for the eneour.
ageinert of this industry the various State
Governments, as well as the general Gov
ernment, are offering liberal concessions to
all who will utilizs and further develop
these great lumber resources OF the land.

FLoRIpA SHE'LL HEAPS.

The material and preparation of the
Florida Shell Heap vessels differ from that
of other mounds, as those along the coast
region of the same State and others found
throughout the United States the clay
elsewhere is mingled largely with broken
shells and sand, II the Florida specimens
aimost pure clay is used, seldom showing
any admixturs of sand, though at
times vegetable FIBER Is present,
which produces q cellular and por-
GUS structure, which the original makers
have in part overcome by the use of
an outside film of slip clay. In Ornamental.
tion the specimens are markedly inferior
to those from other localities, less elabo-
rately adorned, and display only a rude
and primitive conception of artistic
design. They indicate in this re-
spect an earlier origin than the f;-
tiie wares from the coast mounds or
those found in later burial places. Stone
implements were found in inconsiderakle
numberI, though numerous enough to prove
the acquaintance cf the shell heap makers
with hint-ohipping, and though but seldom
buried deep in the piles, were incoutestably
coeval with their formation. They con-
sist of rudely.cut ceits, stone ehisels,
knives or scrapers, arrow-heads chips and
fragments, all clearly the work of
mems hands. Implements of bone
were more frequent, but apparently lin
tied to avis and piercers, an Office for
which bone, then and since, seems very
generally reserved. Implements of shell, as
might have been anticipated, were common,
though very slightly, if at all, varied in
form, consisting Of rectangular bits, ground
down TO edges on one side, forming an eff
cient scraper, cleaner, or bone wedge.
Perforated shells, possibly used for
ornament, are found near the upper
surface OF the mounds, and drinking.
cups made from the large uniyalve
(Basycoa perversa) are similarly
found near the surface. These last
objects are recent, and may have been
known to the Indians who succeeded, at a
long remove, the aboriginal inhabitants.
Pipes and metals are both absent. Human
bones were found from top to bottom of
these heaps-skulls, legs, arms, and bodies
and while some were unbroken and en-
tire, the condition of others suggested the
unwelcome thought of their having formed
a part of cannlbars repast, conclusion
which some recent examinations by Lieu
tenant Vogdes strengthen. He found large
bones, whose marrow might justly form an
attractive feature in an aboriginal dinner.
opened lengthwise and bearing evidence of
designed cleavage. Cannibalism was
really so common among our Indians at the
arrival of the white men that it would
scarcely seem surprising to find its antece-
dents hidden in these early works.-[T The

in this market during the year ending March
l, 1888. was 4, 22S, 000-a decrease Of S7S, coo,

Nathan E. Goodrich, one of the oldest and most respected residents of Meriden, died at his residence, 19O Broad street, at quarter to 12 yesterday morning, at the age of 82 years. He has been suffering for some time, but it was thought that his excellent consti- tuition, which has never been impaired by bad habits, would carry him through, but blood poisoning set in and proved fatal. Deacon Goodrich had been for many years a consistent member of the Broad street Bap- tist church, where he was always prompt in attendance, and his death will be greatly mourned in the church. His wife died about year ago. He was the father of six chil- dren, five of whom survive him: Charles E. and Milo G. Goodrich, Mrs. Eveline Chafee and Mrs. Martha Smith, all of Meri- den, and Elam T.

A Sudden Death.

Yesterday morning about 4:30 young woman about thirty years old rushed into Dr. Bissell's office and asked him to go inn mediately to 27 Grown street, where she said her uncle, J. N. Hunt, lived. The man was dead Dr. Bisseu upon examination conclu- ded that it was case of heart disease. The eyes of the deceased were starting from his head, his jaw was dropped, his limbs and body were twisted. The man had been dead but few minutes Coroner Bollman was notified and proceeded to investigate. It was learned that the man was 8 painter by trade and had worked for Skinner and sever el other painters in this city This woman, who called herself Minnie Stark, claimed to be the niece of deceased and afterward to be his wife. She said she first met Hunt in Brooklyn about three years ago and came here to live with him last September. His first wife died about two years ago when he was living at No. 3O1 Church street. The workmen at Skinner's shop say that last April Hunt laid off week, and when he re- turned said he had been married to a nice young lady in Naugatuek. This lady used to come around and watch him work. As it was evident that the man had no friends the town was notified of the death and asked to give the remains decent burial. The coro- ner decided that the man died from natural
