curtaiin'ent to its logical extreme, having.

A Curious Tomahawk Found Near
Utica.

Ira Truman, farmer of East Gull
ford, Chenango county, New York, fifty
miles south of Utica, showed recently a
tomahawk which he picked up on a
piece of newly-cleared land on. his farm.
The farm is near the junction of the
Susquehanna and Unadilla rivers, and
tradition declares that it was battle
ground much favored by Indians. The
tomahawk is of two metals. A bronze
or brass pipe is on one side of the hole
in which the handle fits, and the other
side is of similar metal to within one
and half inches of the edge of the
blade. The blade is of the hardest
steel. and is neatly dovetailed into the
brass. The weapon is symmetrical and
highly finished. With a granting tool
the outlines of flower had been cut on
each side. The flower is the trullun,
native to the eastern and middle states
