Contents of a North Carolina Mound.

/ Mr. J. M. Spainhour has described, in
the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society, some
relics that were discovered in the excava.
tion of mound in Caldwell county, N. C.
Within the mound was found q skeleton
lying upon his face, with the head resting
in large sea shell, the inner surface OF
which was carved with hieroglyphics
Around the neck were large beads made
OF sea shells. The arms were extended
aud bent at the elbows so as to bring the
hands within about a foot of the head.
Around each wrist was a bracelet com
posed of copper and shell beads alter ma
ting. The copper beads appeared to have
been hammered into thin sheets and
rolled around the string, part Of which
was preserved. Near the right hand was
an iron implement like chisel or punch,
not sharp pointed, but smaller at the en- d
away from the handle. The left hand was
resting on the convex surface of sea
shell, the concave surface of which con-
tanned about hundred small beads. The
she'll was carved with hieroglyphics. Two
other skeletons, on either side OF this one,
also had their heads resting in the con-
cave surfaces ofshells, which were marked
with hieroglypbics Several other skele-
tons were found around and above the
principal one, which was thought to be
remains of chief. In another part Of the
cemetery were found skeletons of persons
who had evidently been buried alive,
their limbs having been held down by
large stones placed upon them. Science
