With the onward march of civilization the lan,s
which this line of stones extended has been
cleared and cultivated. AS consequence the
greater part of these stones have either been

century ago
These stones have been identified beyond all
doubts. They strange to the vicinity, each
stone being marked by rudely chseled crosses.
The stones do not much vary in size being for
the most part oblong in shape and from three
to four feet long and from one to two feet in
width. They occupied positions about two hun
dred feet apart.
The discovery of this system of grange"
stones Immediately gave birth to the story that
they were so placed by Gen. Wayne, who buried
beneath these pOnderOus timbeTs part of his
military stores consisting of cannon and other
heavy pieces, to prevent them from falling into
the hands of Little Turtle which he was COM

Acting this theory, fifty years ago a
number of residents of the vicinity resolved to
solve the mystery of what lay concealed be-
meath the buried logs, and accordingly set to
work to excavate the depression in the knoll

trnbers which constituted the puncheon floor
beneath which discovered great number
of boulders which, to all appearances, had been
cast into the excavation filler Mr.. Stock
ton said that for a depth of several feet they
threw out boHlders till they finally came to
rocks of such great size that they were too
heavy to be removed without the aid of ma
chinery, and having no derrick or other similar
apparatus for that purpose, they were COM
PEELED to abandon their search having come no

they started.

Hospitality.

kzFzzS HAT brand Of hospitality is the most
eXacting? An American who has just
returned from some years in St PEI
tersburg declares that Russian hospI-
taIity demands more from its recip-
tents, in some ways, at least than any
other. The demand would seem to be mainly
of liquid nature. Here is his description Of

sian house:

your host drags you to his den and makes you

are wise and diplomatic you will dodge as many
of the anteprandial drinks as possible. with a
view to your comfort later on. But you have
got to be very skillful about this. Most RUS

OF reflection upon their stock of liquors, if not,
indeed, on their own drinking habits. If their

doesn't spoil their hunger it does ours. The
more a Russian drinks the more he wants to
