A Remarkable* Find.
A remarkably strange discovery
and oiio that is causing Hie thought*
I‘ul to ponder over the unwritten
past, was made a few days ngo Iry a
Frenjli citizen near Gainesville,
Tex.
Having occasion to sink a well,
Mr, Sonina?, the Frenchman in
qu*-tion. selected a spot in a val
ley near a ravire of great length
and whFli, touring heavy rains, is
transformed into a raging torrent,
deposing in the valley limestone,
gravel, mud and other debris. Af
ter reaching a depth of four feet,
and while in a fonn&tien o 1 lim i
stone gravel that had continued
almost uuintenq tedly from the sur
lace down, Mr, Somms came upon
the vertibiio and ribs of ail animal.
The ribs wer® about the size of a
small pig’s and rapidly tapered.
Carefully unearthing the bones to
ward the taperi: g end, Mr. Somms
came to the rallies, which, when
collated, numbeied seventeen, the
largest measuring six inches across.
Attracted by the strange find,
the neighbors ga hered in and tne
work of unearthing the monster of
other ages was prosecuted with
vigor. After br ing bare nineteen
teet of the remains ot the monster
of other limes, imagine their con
sternation at finding the entire
skeleton of a man ©f a tremendous
stature, in the sl( mach of the skele
ton of the snake. The remains ot
the man and serpent, so far as the
serpent has been exhumed, are as
perfect as when first denuded of
ilesli, and were doubtless covered
by lime and gravt 1 soon after death.
Near the bones • f the man’s right
hand is a rude stone hatchet which
a local geologist of some repute
stakes to be sirni ar to the handi
work ot a pnlcoli hic man.
lie Fought With Fremont.
Those small boys who were
aware of the fact were greatly ex
cited bv the arrir al of the Pluto In
dians from Nevada to take part in
the Fourth of duly parade. The
Graves from the Sagebrush State
boarded two carryalls which had
been provided P.r them and drove
off to Agricultural Park, where
i hey selected their camping ground
Mid started to t repare their even
ing meal, the elements of which
Nr. Pucker had thoughtfully pro
vided. At midi ight aMercuryre
j-resentalive, ;;<•< ompanied by Mr.
Pucker, paid th< m a visit. A tire
was burning in tie centre of a glade
i round which were lying the In
dians on straw and wrapped in
their blankets. However, at a sig
nal from their chief, Capt. Sam, a
.'me, stalwart fellow of six feel or
, the Eticn arose, fifteen in all,
:>nd squatted around the tire. Be
si ts the big chief, there are Capt,
ii'ison, who sports a peacemak
e - medal of silver with the insciip
“Johnson Sides, from Stock
ton fair, .1887;''' Capt, Bill, Ole
Trochee's only surviving sen, who
wears a Blaine badge, and the old
chicd, Pancho, a man about ninety
years old and blind, who wears a
Mexican Veteran’s badge engrav
ed “Pandro, Guide and Interpreter
California Volunteers” It was
elicited through Capt Johnson,
who acted as interpreter, that the
old man had served under Gen.
Fremont as scout, being with him
for over a year. lie, with two oth
er Indiansof his tribe, one of whose
names was Ole Truckee, and ten
Walla-Walla Indians, remained
with the general all throngh his
wanderings. Ole Truckee died in
Nevada tram erysipelas in ISG3,
the other Pinte dying after the
treaty at Los Angeles ot consump
tion, Panchi did not expect to
live long after the campaign, as
they had a pretty rough time, hav
ing taken part in two battles, the
first light taking-place a little this
side of Montcry, in which not many
men were lost as the light did not
last long. Then they pushed down
towards Los Angeles, which city
had been left in charge et the wo
men, as the Mexicans had come out
to meet them; but taking the wrong
road, Fremont’s troops arrived at
Los Angeles, where they stayed two
days. But before they got {here a
heavy storm overtook them and all
their horses and cattle were killed,
with the exception of a few Indian
ponies. After the storm they were
joined by some regular troops who
brought with them stores of ammu
nition and food, which they were
very badly in need ot, and they all
entered Los Angeles together, after
which the treaty was signed and
there was no more fighting, Pan
cho gets a small pension from the
United States Government, which
is not enough for him to live ou
properly, and he thinks they ought
to give him more, and also some
clothes as he is very shabby. How
ever, he and the rest of them like
the whiles very well, they say, as
Gibson, the Indian agent at the Ne
vada reservation, treats them very
well. Tie said that when he was
leading Fremont the Walla-Walla
Indians held a council to bid him
farewell, and told him when here
turned to Nevada to tell his braves
not to steal, iirink or fight, as they
bad all united to beat the Mexicans,
and they should not quarrel among
themselves, as they might be want
ed to help beat them again, which,
he said with great fervor, ,l W@ are
ever ready xml willing to do; and I do
not regret my connection with Uncle
Bam. Axd, now we are Baited, I
want to see my people of San, Jose,
and I can die happy.” There are fif
teen braves, two squaws and three pap
pooses in the party.

E. A. Fer.n, in the Allegan, Mich.,
Journal, tays: “About the year 1800,

unpromising young man by the name
of Pit Terry. Ilis birthplace vras the

The lest Remedy
For Dyspepsia is, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
Other medicines may Rive temporary
relief; but Ayer’s Sarsaparilla makes a
positive and permanent cure, as thou
sands cau testify all over the country.
“My stoma ’’y-cr, and kidneys were
in a disordei condition for years,"
writes It. Wild, of Ilutto, Texas, ‘‘and
.1 never found any medicine to relieve
me, until I began to take Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla. Less than six bottles of this
-remedy cured me.”
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of Holyoke,
Mass., was for a long time a severe suf
ferer from Dyspepsia, trying, in vain, all
the usual remedies. At last she began to
take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and only three
bottles restored her to perfect health.
“ I have gone through terrible suffer
ing from Dyspepsia and Indigestion,”
writes C. J. Bodemer, 145 Columbia st.,
Cambridgeport, Mass., “ and can truly
say Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has cured me.”*

but spent his tion sitting on a stump
or block, whittling out a circle he
struck with an old compass or sawing
off bits of wood from some dead trees,
and thus day after day his time was
spent, and the general impression was
that he was crazy. Want pressed so
hard in the h >me that the wif*, by ur
gent entreaty of her friends, had about
made up her mind to return to her pa
rents’ home, when the fruits of Eli’s
whittling and sawing materiilized in
tho first wooden dock ever made in
America, and, I believe, in any coun
try. It was readily sold to a neigh
bor for £3O and paid for in pork. Hour,
potatoes, other family necessities and
a little money, with which he bought
tools to facilitate h's work ia further
prosecution of clock making. A noth
. r and another was made that sold
readily as soon as coinp'sted. The
Vcot lathe and small fircular saws
were added, then men were employed,
(Jocks more tardily made and eagerly
sought after, and E i Terry began to
;ecuEu!ate. In the meantime hs had

proving on bis clock jnd construction

tiou ef a vast fortune vras made which
materialized in after years. Notwith
standing his unbounded benevokncs,
he became very r’.eb. Ha died about
18-15, at the advanced age of 85
years, beloved and respected by all
who knew him, leaving a large family,
of grown-up hoy* and a number of
grandsons, all very wealthy, and all
living at Tarryville, Ct., controlling
nearly all the wealth of the place,
whioh was invested in largo manufac
