INDIAN RELICS AFTER A FLOOD.

Allegheny River was slowly subsiding

THE tomahawks either had no handles
or very short ones. They were tied to
clubs by thongs, which the, Indians
welded with unerring aim. The boys
were taught to throw them, and every
brave was an expert at It,
The double bltted battle-axe in my

tomahawk is unearthed that some red
skin had taken the trouble to polish, or
at least make it smooth. This was done
by rubbing stone against stone. The

by the chiefs. With these stone impls-

the trees at the base, then hacked at
them until they fell.
