River is the Nile of West Virginia.
Along the meadow lands where it flows
the soil is rich and productive. but on
portions of it the farmers SOW in doubt
about the reaping, for the river may
overflow and carry OF the crops. At
times the reccding waters are not con-

soil, too. y frcshct which occurred a
year or so ago uncarthcd an Indian bury
ing ground The cemetery is near the
river, about eight miles from homney,
in Hampshire County. Many of the
bones are in good state of preserva-
ton. but crumble away when exposed.
The Indians were all found resting on
their left side. In the lap of each Indian
were earthenware pots, aud in these
pots were found the belongings of the
corpse, beads, arrow, spear, aud toma-
hawk heads, Indian money made Of bone
and ivory. Some of the beads arc mad9

curious colorcd stones. A few arc Of

hooks ANA copper trinkcts, seem 10 havo
been the extent of their property. All
the trinkcts are perforated The holcp
in some of the beads are so small that
they must have been strung ON hair.

to have made from bone arc in perfect

disclosed. -BaLiMor6 Sun
