None of the previous owners Of this
farm have ever discovered this curos-
ity, 50 far as known. This may be ac-
counted for by its location upon Il
high, rough slope, rather difficult Of
access. which has always been covered
by dense growth of heavy hardwood
trees. The carving would not be no
ticed by one going down the hill. and
if going up an easier route would nat
urallV be chosen, from which the ston"
cannot be seen. Considerable cXcava-
ton under and about the boulder,
among the tough maple roots and de
tached rocks has failed to reveal any
evidence of its purpose, and why this
carving was done is the source Of much
mYstitication and conjecture.
The carved date seems to indicate
that it was the work Of some European,
rather than an Indian. If it was to
mark grave Il name, or at least in
itials, might have been carved as easily
us the date, and bones would be likely
to remain, unless appropriated by some
providing bear, or other wild beast.
There is Il possibility that the stone
IN the course of time has slid from Il
higher point on the steep slope, but the
fact that ii is four feet high, six or
more feet long, about one foot in thick
ness at its base and tapering almost
To an edge at its top, and stands erect,
would seem to indicate that it occu-
pies its original position. 1t may be
that an unknown body was found there,
the victim of some murdcrous Indian,
or bear possibly and the carving done
to mark the spot 1t may also be pos.

Five circular used by the adjutant

bad a magic effect in bringing u
response from these registrants, it was

This form has resulted in three or

made futile endeavors to reach, re-

After warning the registrant that
he has failed to avail himself of the

"Failure to comply win cause you to
