EARLY WHITE BURIALs.
An Indian Chiefs Condolences ON n
Funeral Occasion.
From the Syracuse Journal.

From the Syracuse journal.
A friend asks me about the first burial
OF Europeans I'm onondaga county. The
date is not precise, but seems to have
been in the fall OF 1866, the year in which
the French colony was established on the
east side OF onondaga lake. The settlers
had been there but short time. when
nearly all were prostrated by fever, 80
that there we're hardly enough well to care
for the sick. The Onoudagas treated them
kindly. "God sent In the extremity OF our
dearth so much game and so much fish
into the Jake, before the ordinary season,
that the sick were comforted, the conva-
lescent strengthened, and these who were
cured were supported IN their work. lie
touched the heart OF the people IN such
manner that they brought us with great
affection some OF their corn and Of their
delicacies, which are the kidney beans and
pumpkins OF the country, which are frmer
and better than those Of France" They
were soon well Of this fever, and no deaths
are mentioned In connection with Il.
A little later, however In the same re-
latlon, an account is given OF the sympathy
OF the Onondagas In the death OF two or
the settlers. from which II may be Inferred
that they died about the same time, and ln
the autumn. The account Is graphic, and
although somewhat long, it deserves
place in the archives OF the Cemetery As

MORTALITY IN NEW YORK sLUMa
Many Tenement Houses Condemned

In the houses built for purely tenement
purposes the depth of the house is in>

Of a good-slzed village Il may well be
said that there are less square feet OF the
earth's surface allotted to each man, wo@

petrtied into solid, clear white agate. In
the middle portion of the mountains face
are to be seen rows of upright tree trunks
which resemble the ruins of an old temple
On down the side of the mountain the pet
rifed tree trunks fairy cover the surface.
When viewed from distance these trunks
look like a real forest, of recent growth.
Many PROSTATE trunks, so to 60 feet in
length some being and feet in diameter,
are to be seen. These trunks are encased
with a strata composed chiefly of fine
grained greenish sandstone indurated
clays, and moderately coarse conglomer-
ates And strange as it may seem, these
strata contain many animal and vegetable
remains; such as snakes. toads and fishes
branches, rootlets and fruits.
BY digging down among the petrihed
roots one finds large clusters of the most
beautiful crystallizations of all shades
from delicate pink to a dark cherry A
most remarkable feature of these petri-
fled forests is that in most cases the
woody structure of the trees is well pre-
served. So well preserved are they
that where tree has been
broken short Off and the ends of the trunk
exposed it is an easy matter to count
the rings from the circumference to the
center. 1t is frequentlyvthe case that the
wood is completely opalized or agatized
Where a cavity exists in the decayed
trunk it Is filed in with beautiful crys-
tails of quartz and calcite. Another pecu-
that nearly all the crystals that occur
so plentifully have been found in the
hollows of silicified trees.
