-Two Hunt I Pf*,l Huge Skeletons
IMseoveretl. —-
—k*??—
On Wednesday last. ltev. Nathaniel
Wardell, Messrs. Orih Wafiell (.of To
ronto), and Daniel Fredinburgh, were
digging on the farm of the latter gen
tleman, which is on the banks of the
(irand river, in the township of Cayu
ga: When they got to five or s)x fdet
below the surface a strange sight met
them. 1 filed in layers, one upon top of
the other, were some two hundred skel
etons of human beings, nearly perfect,
around the neck of each one being a
string of beads. There ivere also de
posited in this pit a number of axes,
and skimmers made of stone. In the
jaws of several of the skeletons were
large stone pipes, one of which Mr. O.
Wardell took with him to Toronto a
day or two after this golgotha was uti
earthed.
These skeletons are those of men of
gigantic stature, some of them measur
ing nine feet, very few of them being
less than seven feet. Some of the thigh
bones were found to be at least half a
fi ot longer thaii those at present known,
and one of the skulls completely covered
the head of an ordinary person. These
skeletons are supposed to belong to tiiose
of a rare race of people anterior to the
Indians. Some three years ago the
b ric3 of a mastodon were found embed
ded in the earth about six miles from
this spot. The pit and its ghastly occu
pants are now open to the view of any
who may wfi^'h 1 to make a visit there.
Tnefe is riol the slightest doubt that
the remains of a lost city are oh this
farm. At various times within the past
year the remains of mud houses, with
their chimneys had been found ; and
there are dozens of pits of a similar
kind to that just unearthed, though
much Smaller, in the place which has
been discovered before, though the fact
h s not been made public hitherto.—
The remains of a blacksmith’s shop, con
taining two tons of charcoal and various
implements, w r ere turned up a few months
ago. The farm, which consists of 150
acres, has been cultiratqd for nearly a
eentury, and was covered with a thick
growth of pine, so that it must have
been years ago that the remains were
deposited there, the skulls of the skel
etons are of an enormous size, affd of
all manner of shapes* about htflfa&farge
again as are now to be seen. The teeth
in most of them ate Still in ah almost
perfect state of preservation, though
they soon 101 l out when exposed to the
air. It is supposed that there is gold or
silver in large quantities to be found in
the premises, as mineral rods have in
variably, when tested, pointed to a cer
tain spot and a few yards from where
the last batch of skeletons was found
directly under the apple tree.
Some large shells, supposed to have
been used for holding water, which Avere
also found ttf fh’e pit, vvefe almost pet
rified. A good deal of excitement ex
ists ig,the neighborhood, and many vis
itors xgdl at the farm d’aily. The skulls
and bones of life giants’ are fast disap
pearing, being taken away by the curi
osity hunters. It is the intention of
Mr. Fred in burg to cover up the pit very
soog. pit is ghastly in the ex
treme. The,farm is skirted on'the north
by the’ Ora Xf river.
From the appearance of the skulls it
would seem that their possessors died a
violent death, as many of them were
broken and dinted. The axes are shaped
like tomahawks, small, Pot k£ep' ; instru
ments. The heads are of stohe and of
all sizes aft’d shfapfejs. The pipes arc not
unlike in shape the cutty pipe, and sev
eral of them are engraved with dog’s
heads. Shey have not lost their virtue
for smokipg.. Some people profess to
believe at the locality of Dreadinburg
farm was formerly an Indian burial-place,
but the enormous stature of the skele
tons and the fact that pine-trees of cen
turies grovftn Covered the spot go far to
disprove this idea. — Cayuga Cor. To

RATTLESNAKES.
A Horritile i*la#thinj£;
The Lynchburg Republican publishes
the following “ snake stories,” and says
they can be substantiated by, indisputa
ble testimony. They are only some of
the trifling experiences of the moun
taineers with the rattlesnakes :
“There are in the Blue Ridge, two
distinct spebies—the yellow and tfip
black. The yellow was formerly sup
posed to be the male, and the black the
female; but the fallacy of that opinion
is demonstrated by the fact that in many
localities only one of these kinds is evet
seen, and also by ttie great difference in
size at?d form—the yellow being vety
thick and snort, and the black long and
slender. But both of these species are
beautifully ornamented with flowers,
which in the sunlight
tlie Mot& of the tdiriVow. r Tne yellow
snake is much less liable to rattle than
the black, and therefore most to bddread
ed ; thongh no dependence need be plac
ed in either, as it depends altogether up*
on the caprice of the moment when
they retreat, advance, rattle, or ‘ play
possum.’ The partiality of this snake
for the company, of children has been
frequently noticed among tlie ni'odhtam
eers, one instance of which is familiar
to some of our Bedford readers. A few
years ago, a farmer whose cabin stood in
one of the wildest localities about the
mountains, on coming iffto the house one
day, discovered his little daughter, two
years old, sitting up in bed, where she
had been placed by her mother while
asleep. The child was laughing immod
erately, and showing by its every action
and expression of countenance that it
was greatly pleased. The father ap
proached, when to his horror, he dis
covered that an enormous yelloft rattle
snake, the largest he had ever seen, was
in bed with the child, and actually coil
ed around her body. llis presence in
stantly wrought a change in the conduct
of the snake, which dextrously uncoiled
itself from around the chiWl and assumed
an attitude of battle. The mountain
eer’s rifle hung upon a rack over the
door ‘ he grasped it in his hand with
feelings which cannot be described, and
awaited an opportunity to shoot. He
had no sooner done so than the snake
commenced caressing the child by rub
bing its head fondly against her cheek,
and darting its forked tongue almost in
her eyes. Then he would raise his tail
and rattle so rapidly as to make one con
tinued sound, at which the child was
greatly aelighteX But upon' the least
movement on the part of tlie almost dis
tracted parent, the snake w*ould change
the tone of his rattling, and swell to al
most twice his natural size. During all
this tune the child tightly grasped the
snake with her ehubby little hands, and
jerked fttfd him aboFt in a very
rude and unceremonious manner, laugh
ing and talking to her horrible plaything
in a perfect ecstacy of delight. This
state of things was finally ended by a
movement of the parent, which so en
raged the stVake .that he, drew himself up
into a tight coil, leaped out of bed, and
would have buried his fangs in the
farmer’s face, had he not quickly dodged
to one side. As it was, the serpent went
over his shoulder and out at the door,
where it renewed the signal for battle,
but was quickly stretched out stiff in
death by a shot from the rifle. The
child cried immoderately for her pretty
plaything, and if set down in afty part
of the yard, would immediately toddle
toward the dead reptile.

The Merchant Who does not Ad
vertise.
The merchant who does not advertise
is cfblinguished very easily by his care
worn and dejected countenance. He is
grasping—holds fast to what he has,
and is* afraid to venture. He is*
ally selfish, and looks upon all custom
ers with distrust. The miserly eager
ness with which he clutches the pay for
his goods creates an’ antipathy for him
in tl y e nfr’rfds of mF r’afSorrs, and they
generally leave him. His store is any
thing but inviting, as the goods are not
displayed at all, and a bleak appearance
of the walls is the consequence. He
generally has dry goodF, groceries, hard
ware, etc., all jumbled up togeche’f. At
night he lights store , with thp poor
est quality of candles, which shed a pale
glimmer over his goods, giving them an
old and dusty look. At his store you
will be certain to find mean whisky, soft
soap, damaged dry goods and groceries—
all last year’s fashions, etc. He seldom
gives anything for public improvement
or charitable purposes, and measures
mankind generally in his own half bush
el. Such a man never helps to build
railroads, steamboats, telegraph lines, or
anything of the kind. If the balance
of mankind were like him. stage coaches
would be the only conveyances. Where
greaf cities now stand, a few double-pen
log-houses and a bar-room would be in
stead. Colleges and school;! wotrid never
have been thought of, and blissful igno
rance would.now reign supreme. He is
never posted on the fopics of the day,
nor is he irvfo T 'nted’ in regard to com
mercial affairs, because he shuts him
self off" from that source of information
by discouteoancing the press, the only
means through which it can be attained.
And when he dies, he is not generally
lamented. —Newspaper Reporter.

Avarice, Luxury and Fraud.
,
The itiiri sacra fames —the accursed
thirst for gold—continues to abound all
over the country. Official corruption
lies at the root of these itffholy Jesires;
and all our ambition, labor, and ai jita
tiqn to be to get it in the easi
est and quickest way. The age has be
come extravagant almost beyond prece
dent in this comparatively new world of
of ours. Would it not wholesome
for all men to look first at home
for the cause of all this folly and ex
travagance, and for very much of the
official corruption alleged, and no doubt,
existing ijn the State and country t
How many people !Hc beyond their re
al means, and how many clean up to
them, leaving not a dollar for a sick or
rainy day those who make the mistake
of so living, even when they can help
it. How many run in debt, how many
make inroads upon their capital, how
many live from hand to mouth. The
courts tell us of men now bankrupt in
fortune who were once rich, and theex
perieqee and confession of nearly every
such person would be iChe errors of his
life. We see thousands once ricn ailifcg
as clerks—some of them almost beggars
from door to door—some of them real
beggars, and inmates of the poor-house
and in nine eases out of ten the cause
of this preset poverty was original av
arice, followed by great luxury. We
are partly passing from this stage of
personal acquisitiveness and expendi
ture to the use of other people’s money,
which is one of the worst vices cf the
uge. Corporations abound. They are
made up of Stockholders, then of Boards
of Directors or Trustees then of Presi
dent, Vice-President, Secretary and ex
ecutive Committees. J)o all these gen
tlemen administer their trust with due
economy? Do they indulge in little,
and even great luxuries, and charge
many of their personal comforts and ap
petites to the geneiftl expenses ? We
hear of such things, and it is for* those
in official positions to answer whether
they are true or not. Certain \yc fire
the old time economy and the old time
scrupulousness of personal and associated
expenditures have passed away. Peo
ple.are most willing to spend other peo
ple’s mofiey, and the habit ruU3 into
private corporations, and into all softs
of agencies. It is too common among
clerks in trust, and too common every
where with those in authority. Goods
of all kinds are sold short in weight, by
connivance of principals and seconds,
and this is as much stealing or plunder
a? any other fraud. The cotton men,
the coal sellers, the dealers in grains and
groceries, the middle-men all more or
less cheat their customers. There
false weights and false measures, as well
as shrinkage, and other evidences of
foul play. The root of all this baneful
fruit is the love of luxury, dissipation,
idleness, dress and snow. This? wakes
officials corrupt, merchants bankrupt,
thousands of wives and sons and daugh
ters sfiame, and creatures of fashionable
folly. They sap the life blood from old
time integrity, and lead the nation in
the way of old Rome in the palmy days
of the Patricians. What is needed is
simplicity of living and simplicity of
life, in the Government, i‘h tFe 4 Sta£e,
in the City, in the Church', iiti the fam
ily, and in the hearts of fne whole peo
pie. Whoever beckons this way points

Myopy, or Near-Sightedness.
Near-sighted people do not commonly
get the sympathy they deserve. This
is partly becatfSe their defect is not so
readily noticed as some others, and part
ly because other people do not know
how to appreciate its degree no* its em
barrassment In early years they are
sometimes subjected to harsh discipline
for supposed delinquencies growing en
tirely out of this difficulty before it is
recognized. A lad of my acquaintance
was often punished for such things as
failing to catch the h’oi*Se, saying it tvas
plainly risible to tlie paternal eye.
These people also lack many means of
culture, as this same individual said in
later years, “ I could , dot seem to see
beauties in the landsdupe which others
admired. As for the stars which they
glorified I saw but an indistinct glim
mer. It was only in after years, when
glasses were jut into my hands, that
my eyes were opened to many possibili
ties of culture which my boyhood had
lost.” And yet the difficulty in his
case was so slight that the cause of it
waF riot discovered until he was well ad
vanced in his teens. Many of those
more near-sighted than Lc can never
have, the defect made upXo them by any
artificial means.
Besides being more liable to accidents
of various sorts, near-sighted persons are
often thought dull or stupid because
their eyes fall expressionless on: those of
their interlocutor, or because they stum
ble over things in their \va}-; or haughty
because they fail to recognize acquaint
ances in a company, or on the street.
Public speakers with this defect fail to
get the inspiration which others find in
reading the countenances of their head
ers. Ladies get the name of being
slovenly or untidy housekeepers because
they see soiled or torn places, cobwebs,
dusty cornices, and articles out of plrme.
I have known them even called dishß
est, because they have failed to recog
nize readily the difference between their
own gloves and handkerchiefs and those
of another, or rirde tedajpse.they applied
their eye glasses to strangeAi, or because
to get any possible idea of them they
had to scan them very closely, liy.shprt,
whenever we see any idiosyireYnSv in’the
general bearing of another, fit Is well-to
withhold our judgment of them until
we arc pretty certain that they can sec as
far as other people.— Home ami Health.
A Ghost _ Story.
We do not give credence to ghost sto
ries, but the following, appears so intrin
sically reasonable, that we cannot for a
moment doubt it* truth. That appari
tions do not always wander without suf
ficient Satfse, is proved by the fact well
attested which we give be’ot*.
“ Last Tuesday as Mrs. , a lady
of literary taste and studious habits sat
leading in her drawing room, the clock
on the mantle-piece struck twelve ; as
the vast stroke reverberated through the
apartment the door flung wjde open ; ia
the act of raising her Hear!, to repel ttyp
intrusion (unrung for) of her servant,
her eyes rested on the form of her late
husband. She screamed and fell sense
less on the carpet. This brought up
such members of the family as had not
retired to rest; restoratives were ad
ministered, arid when Mrs. 4 re
gained her suspended faculties, and be
ing a woman of strong mind and highly
cultivated intellect, she felt disposed to
consider the whole distress she had un
dergone as the result of certain associa
tions between the melancholy tale she
Had been pursuing and her late loss, op
erating upon a partially deranged ner
vous system. She, however, considered
it advisable that her maid servant should
repose in her chamber lest any return
of what she considered a rjerrous affec
tion should distress lidVself an a alatth
the family. Last Tuesday night, feel
ing stronger and in better spirits than
she had been for some months past, Mrs.
dispensed with the presence of
her attendant, retiring alone to her Cham
ber, and went to bed a little before ten
o’clock. Exactly as the clock struck
twelve, she was awakened from her sleep,
and distinctly beheld the apparition she
had seen before, advancing from the ta
ble, (on which stood her night lamp)
till it stood opposite to and drew the cur
tains of her bed. She described her
very blood retreating with icy chilliness
to her heart from every vein. The ,eou,n
tenance of her Felovedui life vtore not
its benevolent aspect; the eyes beaming
with affection were now fixed with stern'
regard on the trembling half dissolved
being, who, with the courage of desper
ation, thus adjured him:
“Charles! dear Chttlc?! ITh'J are
you come again /”
“Jessie!” slowly and solemnly gasped
the shadowy form, waving in his hand
a small paper, “ Jessie, pay my my news
paper accounts, and let me felt in peach'!”
Emotional Insanity.—A day or
two since an Elyria girl of seventeen
summers arrived in this city to visit
some triends. A friendly chat followed
t'fee hearty welcome she received, and in
the evening three gerffTemeft visitors
tapped at the door, were received aft’d
aat down in the parlor. They were no
sooner seated than the Elyria girl ap
proached and kissed them, and then
walked about the room, showing the
same favor to all the gentlemen present.
This done she confounded the already
surprised company by bounding into the
yard with a hearty laugh and “ smack
ing ” her lips against the gardener’s,
and then stalking into the street to see
who she could next devour with her
kisses.
The friends of Miss Elyria at last be
came alarmed and insisted that she
should accompany them into the house.
She did so, and to aW the questions put
about her strange conduct answered with
a wild ringing laugh and endearing ca
resses. The visitors, seeing that insan
ity was at the bottom of the most ad
mired disorder that had disturbed the
good cheer of the evening, stood not
u’porf tfl?e order of leaving, but left at
once. The yotfrrg lady was left alone
for the evening, and the amazed family
next morning tound that she knew noth
ing of what had transpired. Her con
duct was debited to her and she was
entirely ignorant of it all. This was a
clear case of emotional insanity.— Cleve

A Universalist minister, troubled

the free use of cayenne pepper as a table

Western man, observing him use it,
said:
“Stranger! I’m kinder curus about
that ’ere red salt of yourn. I’d like to
try it.”
He was tola that he was welcome, but
that he must be careful if he was not
accustomed to it, as it was very power
ful. Hut he “could swallow chain light
ning,” or some other Western impossi
bility. and he peppered his food so free
ly that he was half strangled, and ev
erv one arose to his assistance. As soon
as lie was able to speak, he turned to
the minister, and sard :
