OF Brnddsch's Field and Fers
Necessilv.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Dec. 30.--Wher-
ever research has been made. wheth.
er in the New World, in Europe, Asia
or Africa, the stone implements of
mankind disclose a close resem-
blance. This similarity shows the
needs and ideas OF all savage races
to have been identical. The stone
implements of warfare, of the chase
and Of domestic economy, which are
found extensively in the valleys of
the Monongahela and the Allegheny
rivers, do not differ materially in
form or appearance from those found
in Central Africa. The weapons of
the old stone age are known to be of
great antiquity. Those of the Della
ware Indians of Pennsylvania are of
comparatively recent make. The
arrow-heads and tomahawks found
on the site of old Fort Necessity and
on Braddoek's Field are probably
not more than century and half
old. James Fazenbaker, Esq, who
now owns the property on which are
still to be seen the ruins of Fort Ne

THE GREAT LENNI LENAfE.
Long before Braddock marched
over the mountains, years before tn,
Indians took up their abode about
the Allegheny and it's tributaries
near Delaware Water Gap, there
dwelt tribe of Indians known as
the Minsi, branch Of the great
Lenni Lenape, or Delaware nation
Not living representative of these
aborigines remains, and their name is
only retained in the title of Mount
Minsi, the mountain on the Penn
sylvania side of the Gap. The op
posite peak is called Mount Tam
many, in honor of the greatest chic
of the Delaware nation.
How long the Minsi dwelt her,
previous to the advent of the white,
is not known. They may have oc
cupied the same seats for many cen
turtles, dwelling in savage simplicity
beside the flowing waters of the wind
ing river. But they have not quit,
passed away and left no mark.
The level land bordering the stream
north of the Gap is full of traces o
their presence, in the shape of weap
ons and implements of stone, frag
ments of broken pottery, &c.
l had recently the pleasure of ex
aiming a fine collection of these i'm
plements, the property of Mr.. L. w
Broadhead, the well-known proprie
tor of the Water Gap House, through
whose personal exertions, extendin.
