 Having the pleasure of reading your most excellent paper of the 2sth ut. the "favorite CoURnR," and which for news, especially local news, has always been acknowledged at the "head of the class'D noticed an article about the "Indian Burying Ground on Bea- con Hill" which called to my mind an incl dent related by one of your old and most re- spected citizens, than whom no one in your city Is more respected or more deserving of the high esteem in which he is held. When young man he with his "chum," now c most distinguished professor, went over to Beacon Hill for (as General Sherman Is re- ported to have said) "good Indian, i. e., 6 dead Indian, and they found one some six feet under the ground. The bones were ear ried to their rooms and put on their mautel The next day they looked for their skeleton and 1t was gone. The colored man who had charge of the room was accused of taking or throwing away the bones, which of course he denied. Upon investigation they found on the shelf quantity of dust and few hard hint-like substances about the size of email suspender button. Further examination re- vealed the fact that the bones had crumbled to dust and the hard, 0int-like substances were the ends of the elbows.
 When we were boys Beacon Hill, with Its Indian burying ground, Fort Wooster with it's magazine, into which we would look but feared to enter, was very attractive place on Saturday afternoon or during our vaca. tion; also the spot where a young man, Par- dee by name. had his head shot of by can. non ball sent from an English man-of-war off Fort Hale as she got under weigh and sailed out of the harbor. The story was that as this British ship was sailing ont the com mander noticed through his field glass 6 crowd upon Beacon Hill and gave orders to frs ball cartridge into the crowd. The ball atruck 6 young man named Pardee of East Haven and took of his head ,and as the story was told us boys he jumped ten feet in the air.
 Perhaps other of your citizens can give you further "reminiscences,

 The alumni of Harvard in New York sent two delegates to Cambridge . short time ago to try to Induce the athletic committee or the faculty behind 1t to change tho rules re- gently adopted so that the features which were objectionable to the Yale conference committee might be eliminated. Tho rule that confined Harvard's athletics to New England seems unwarrantable to them. No dual league can be formed with Yale unless the Harvard faculty rescind some of their severe decrees. No news has been received by Yale's committee of any future meeting between the two committees, so that in all probability no league will be formed, but Yale will arrange games with any college 1t may please the captains of the teams to play.
