Indian God Rock

There is n famous historical rock
on the banks of the Allegheny river,
near Franklin, Venango county, known
as the Indian God rock, which ii is
proposed to move to Franklin to in
sure its preservation. 1t is figured
that the rock, which bears Indian
hieroglyphics, weighs about 125 tons.
1t is believed that it can be lifted
from its foundation, in whole or in
part, by one of the railroad steam
cranes and loaded on a car and taken
TO Franklin. 1t has been visited by
thousands of persons, among them
many scientific men, who have pro-
nounced it an Indian relic of much
historical worth.
