while digging post hole recently in the

David Burdck, of Brookfield, while fishing
in the Housatonic river, had occasion to pro-

to the shore he pulled out of the sand Pc

bore undoubted evidence of being an Indian
headstone to grave. 1t is about the size of
large water pitcher and similar in shape,
with an oval top. On this oval two distinct
hieroglyphics are wrought. Curious carvings
also appear on the sides. Experts who have
seen it pronounce it to be the finest specimen
Of Indian tombstones ever seen in this cOun-

ploughed up 1872 pieces of Indian ware made
of stone, and it is believed that the land was
