GHASTLY DISCOVERY. Nearly Two Hundred Indian Skele tons. Unearthed in Indiana. Morristown, Ind., October 9. — This community is very much ex cited over the unearthing of be tween 150 and 200 Indian skele tons in a gravel pit some two miles from here. While engaged in openinga grav el pit on Old Hogback, a very high hill, the workmen unearthed a skeleton buried about six inches from the surface, on the highest point on the hill, and further ex cavations exposed almost 200, ly ing side by side, with face down ward, in layers, the first only about a foot beneath the surface and the last about three feet down. The head of each one was turned toward the West. Many fine pieces of pottery, wampum and other rel ics were also discovered. Some 20 «'T more years ago a small band of Indians spent several day prowl ing around this hill in search of treasure that had been buried by their tribe, but it is not known whether they found the gold for which they were searching or not. The hill is of very peculiar for mation. The base on the side next to the river is of a conglomerate; next to that is a layer of clay and graveion top. The hill is about 150 feet wide at the base by 800 or 900 long at least, and is supposed to have been made by the Indians or mound builders. The interior is hollow, but nothing larger tnafi ordina ry sized dog can enter it. The hill has been dynamited once or twice, but the conglomer ate Was so hard that the dynamite had comparatively little effect on it. On top of the hill there was un til yesterday a huge rock, on which was drawn many grotesque figures. This rock has been there ever since I he first settlers came here. ~ VIOLKKCtt.

WANTED A HUSBAND. Viennese Young Lady Solves The Question of Proposing. A Viennese young lady, Frau lein Frauenschatz, settled for her self one day last week the much dheueeed quest ion as to whether woman should propose. She and her father, who is a rich merchant were wa’ching a Hungarian regi ment marching to the barracks, when the curling black mustachios and fine figure of one of the pri vate soldiers caught the maiden’s ftyd. On their return home she as tounded her father by declaring tha' t>he must marry the handsome stranger, and that death would be preverao'e to life without him. Yielding to her entreaties, the lather promised to do what he could, and in the afternoon set out on hie curious eirand. His daughter accompanied him as far as the barracks. She diu not enter the building, however but walked to and fro on the oppo site side of the street, awaiting with feverish impatience for her father to reappear. Meanwhile Herr Faruenschatz had gone straight to the non-com missioned officer in charge and bravely told his story. The officer was unable to recognize the sol dier in question from the descrip tion given, so he very obligingly commanded all the men who had composed the contingent that morning to assemble in the barrack yard immediately, and to form in rows as nearly as possible as they were that morning. Then he asked Herr Frauen schatz, who was somewhat alarm* ed at the trouble and fuss he was causing, to point out his man. This he was unable to do, and, fear ing to make a mistake, called his daughter. By the time she came and the extraordinary review began the story was known, and every man with luxuriant mustaches was in hopes that he was to be the favored one, for Fraulein Fraunschatz’s beauty excited a murmer of admi ration and applause. After a short inspection she picked out a Hungarian namec Franz Boethy, but was greatly dis appointed when she learned that he could not speak German, while she did not know a syllable of Hungarian. An interpreter was soon found, however, and the wedding will take place next Wed nesday. TALE OF TALES. A Hasty Marriage Down to old Montgomery.
