only part found was the bowl, the stem
part having been broken off, and the
bowl is split in two parts lOngitudinally.
The bowl of the pipe is nearly six inches
long, cylindrical in contour and of a reg

tapering from two inches in diameter at
the mouth or top, to one and a half
inches where IL Joined the stem, which
was evidently perpendicular to the bowl.

lief at the bottom, like what carpenters
call beaded moulding. The mineral of
which IL is made Is talc-slate, of a loose
texture and much lighter than granite or
sandstone, the interstices being filed with
many specks of fractured mica. When
scrapings from IL are taken between the
fingers ii is unctious to the touch.

he was dragged, head downward FOR
about 100 yards, the horse kicking and
plunging madly all the while. When in
front of Summersgins store the shaft
broke, and Mr.. Cont fell to the ground,
the horse continuing its mad flight across
the bridge, up Fourteenth street, down
Broad, and was finally stopped on Tenth
street. The wagon was completely de-
molished, but the horse escaped without
injury. Mr. Cont was painfully hurt in
the back and considerably bruised and
