PREHISTORIC BAR HARBOR.

Bar Harbor is a great summer resort
and it is looked upon by many persons
as the first of its class. But it is really
the latest. Maine has always been the
scene Questionable summer gatherings,
and the succession of them reaches back
to prehistoric times. There, not thou
sand miles from Bar Harbor, still re-
main the proofs. Let us examine them.
Letus learn from the relics how society
five hundred or five thousand years ago
came down upon the coast Of Maine as
it does in this almost twentieth century,
to enjoy its summer froIic. If we can
not make the examination personally,
let us avail ourselves OF an excellent
proxy, the Maine Historical Society,
which made recently a tour OF lnSpec-
ton to the famous DamariScotta mounds.
These relics are situated on the banks of
the Damariscotta inlet or river, and are
simply enormous heaps Of debris from
tbe feasts of the prehistoric Sumner Wis
itors. They are composed Of the Shells
Of oysters. clans ana other edible mol
usks. with occasional bones of land ami
mails. They are like the shell mounds
in Florida and the Kitchen MiddenS
of Scandinavia. The principal heap

in the Portland Transcript The party
numbering about thirty, arrived at New
castle at nine a. m, and taking carria

river, brought US to the newly erected
mill near Whicha gang OF men were en-

and throwing the comminuted portions

adequate conception of the immense

Running through the heap at inter
walls were dark lines of mould, mingled
with ashes, sho wing that from some
cause the Indians Tor a considerable
time ceased their visits to the oyster
beds, and on their return encamped up
on the grassed-over heap and built their
camp fires upon it. Mr.. Carnage, of
the Peabody Museum, Cambridge, was
present studying the excavations. He
exhibited Sor1e of the relics found, in
Guiding the fragments Of pottery, show

Roman amphora or wine jar, bears
teeth, stone hatchets, fragment of a
deer's antler, and human bones, giving
evidence of having been broken. Near
the bones of human skeleton he had
found some copper beads. Shells from
ten to fourteen inches long were picked
up in great abundance.
These elongated shells show the crowd

heaps do of the abundance of the BIZ
