An Indian Burial Ground Discovered.

Last week workmen in the westerly end of Mr.
ii. L. Woodcock's dam, Quantabacook Pond, Sears
mont, unearthed an indian burial ground The
workmen were digging in the gravel pit opened
last fall Thirty five implements, including chisels,
gauges, tomahawks, hammers, whet stones jewelrv
&c. have been found, some of them very handsome
specimens. A dozen would be found together the
different appearance of the loan indicating that it
was the grave of one person. These implements
were found at intervals from foot to three feet
below the surface and others were found in the
dam where the gravel had been dumped before the
discovery. Mr.. WoodcOck thinks his gravel pit
was originally an Indian burial lot and that more
digging would unearth hundreds of relics. Here
is rich field for DIR. l.. W. Pendleton and other
hunters for Indian relics. The articles found by
Mr. Woodcock are now on exhibition at his fathers
store in this city. Mr.. Michael Heating of Belfast,
says that when he boy and living the old
place, they frequently plowed up Indian tools in
the same locality.
