Buried in the earth for more
than century and half, what
are believed to be the bones OF
family massacred by the Indians in
the year 1758 have been discovered
on the plantation Of Aiken Robin.
son, located one mile from Marlboro
Just over the friedrich county line
in Shenandoah county. Laid in a
row, side bv side, the skeletons OF
five human beings were unearthed
on Friday in a bank of earth at the
side of the road on this farm. The
discovery was made through the
falling away of portion OF the
embankment at the roadside, a
portion of the bones of the skele-
tons being exposed to view. The
skeletons were found to be in al.
most perfect condition. They were
easily distinguishable as those Of
human beings, two of them being
of adults, the other three being not
yet grown. The skeletons were
lying close together in row, the
smallest being that Of child.
Briscoe C. Shull, who viewed the
skeletons soon after they had been
unearthed, declares that he be-
lieves them to be the bones of a
family named Young, who were
masssored by the Indians in 1858.
An account Of this massacre is Civ.
en- In Kercheval's History of the
Valley Of Virginia" 1t is related
that the savages dashed the head
Of an infant against rock. The
belief that the skeletons found are
the bones of the family killed by
the red men so many years ago is
strengthened by the fact that the
skull of the child is much cracked
and battered. Another of the
skulls has a hole in it.

Local Correspondence.

January l, 1908.
And now it's State Senator Matthias of
Thurmont. Not heretofore has old Me-
Thurmont been able to
boast of like political achievement. 1t
is distinction equivalent to the election
of president of the States from little
old New York and we're all, doubtless,
proud of the honor conferred.
Of course the girls are wide-awake to
the fact that this is leap year and that it
contains 366 days. 1t is to be hoped that
they will act promptly and vigorously and
take advantage of all doubt and every
techncality bearing upon the rights and
liberties vouchsafed to them by this year
of odd days. In this connection may
mention that in the State of Pennsylva-
MIA there were 1927 marriages during
the year just ended, and that there are
still in that state 937, $50 unmarried men
of marriageable age against 739, 3l5 I'M
married women of manageable age.
The same conditions may obtain all round
about, securing to cupid big job ahead.
Judging from the roarings without, the
auaking of inhabitants and the whring
of the timber roundabout occasioned by
Monday nights fiercest of fierce wind
storms, one would want to conclude that
the poor old year was being chased out
"a hours ahead of time.

Eyler's Valley Happenings.

On Christmas eve the Eyler's Valley
Union Sunday School rendered Christ
mas program entitled, "Welcome The
King" under the direction Of the Super
intendent, w. P. Eyler. The church was
filed with large congregation of mem
bers and friends and the service was ap-
preciated by everybody. The church was
beautifully decorated; those who did the
work deserve much credit. This includes
about all, for indeed about all the families
were represented, the only way to ac-
complish much is by united effort. The
children in their modest way told in song
and story of the birth of the Christ child
and the joy of his birth night as viewed
by shepherds long years ago, in fact the
true meaning of Christmas was brought
out as never before, and those who par
ticipated certainly felt edited.
Mrs. Albert Hospelhorn spent several
days with friends in Emmitsburg at
Christmas.
Miss Flora Fisher visited her brother,
w. Newin Fisher, of Chambersburg, last
Tuesday.
Mr.. William Fisher was a caller to
friends in Waynesboro recently.
Mr.. Albert Fry, of Franklinville, is a
guest in the family of W. P. Eyler.
Rev. Rudesill, of Two Tayerns, was
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Eyler, Tuesday.
Mr.. Jesse Warner, of Waynesbpro, was
a guest in the family of Mr.. Geo. Smith,
Mrs. l.. P. McKissick and children are
spending the holidays with friends in
Walkersville.
