were constructed about Zb,O0 years ago.
This is reCkoued from the plane of night

the mounds were built on an east and

from the original plane - deg, 50 min.,
must have been built a little more than

Economical calculation. some OF the mounds
do not depart from the original plane
more than Il deg, 50 min, from which 1t
would be calculated they were built be-
tween 1870 and 200 centuries ago.

been unable to get any evidence that the

was 81 ,O33 81 by Society No / of Sac
rysville. The local branch, having had
so many calls for clothing, decided not
to join the Needlework Guild this Win

from the donations of new garments
furnished by it's members and their
friends. Accordingly, nearly $3.50
worth of new clothing was given out
just before Christmas.
The Marysville Society has received
very substantial assistance from the
merchants and citizens of that chari-
table little city. For several years it
has been the custom to solicit dona-
tions of all kinds before the holidays,
to be made up into Christmas boxes
for the poor In 1895 seventy-five
boxes, at an average worth of So each,
were distributed.

ceived from the charitably inclined. ir-

tainly compares favorably with the
