Several iunnentiemeptil. clue' pits of Indian origin have been die" etivereii and their contents exposed lately, and much light lies been thrown upon the early history of that once powerful, but now nearly extinct, tribe of Indians called the Hurons. Dr. Edward W, Bawtreo, SLOW hon. deputy inspector -general of the Army hospital at Abberton, England, bee who was for a number of years a reeident of thie province, was one of the most active and successful Investigators of these remark- able rimunds. When he returned to Eng- land he embodied his researches in an article which he sent last November to the Canadian Institute of this city, Last Thursday the paper was read before a large audience at the institute. It has never been published, and as no detailed or accurete account of these remarkable die, coveriee has yet been put in print,The Em- pire herewith gives the paper as fully as space will, permit. After briefly referring to the discovery of a pit containing an inn menses number of human bones, brass and copper kettles,etc., in the vicinity of ierrie about two years ago, Dr. Bavetree says; This discovery led last augumn to the more accurate examination of a pit of the same description, about seven miles from Pene- tanguishene, in thetownship of Tiny, This pit was accidentally noticed three or four years ago by a French Canadian working in that neighbourflood. On turning upa few spadefuls of earth, he was surprised to find a quantity of human bones. A more minute examination several months afterwards die - covered a great number of human skeletons of both sexes and all ages, 26 copper and brass kettles or boilers, three large conch shells, pieces of beaver skin in tolerable preservation, a fragment of pipe, a large iron axe evidently of French manufacture, some human hair (that of a woman), a copper bracelet, and, a quantity of circular, beads, perforated through the centre. FORM OF THE .PIT. The form of the pit is circular, with an elevated margin. It is about 15 feet in diameter, and before it was opened it was probably nine feet from the level of its margin to the centre and bottom. It may be described as funnenshaped. There is nothing peculiar or striking in its position, except perhaps its being almost central on the peninsula which extends into lake Huron, between Gloucester and Notin- veasage, bays. In coneequence of the W55 nearly enlarge as a Mennen twohler. There is every mon to believe that the above noticed form but a smell pert of the nuather of mai collections Of bones that are to be found in the neighborhood, The Erenele-Canadiame,uow that their attention has been directed to the eitlejeet, end they have been mado familiar With the lenpear- ance of the pits, say that they have in several plans observed them during their remblee in the bush. No less than floe of them were Vinod by a farmer within a quarter of a mile ef the second pit. A Nee= EXTINCT For the origin of these sepulchral pits (for that appears to be the most appropriate name to give them) we must refer to the time when the Huron tribe of Indiana in- habited this part of the country. That they are connected with a form of sepulture in use among these original occupants of the wilderness, there can be little doubt. As relice of a nearly extinct race of Indians, these remains are highly interesting ; for, eltheeigh A remnant of the Harem still remains in the neighbourhood of Quebec, they have long since disappeared from the shores el their own lake. It is now nearly 200 years since they were driven from, their own country by the Irociouis,and they again have been expelled by the Ojibbiway or Chippewa Indians who came down from lake Superior, and whose claims to the land must have been of distant date, as it WM by them ceded to the orown ; and though thee% so lately owned. the country and still occupy that in the immediate neighborhood they hold no tradition concerning then pits and have no customs that show any connection with them. -The Heirone, too, were far different in habits and life from the Chippawas. They were spirited, enterprising,. indus- trious and brave, with considerable =sena- thy andoloquence. Theydwelt in well fortifi- en villages, seed made war in large bodies. There can be little doubt then,it is to aforin of burialin use among them that the remains under notice may be attributed. This history IS highly interesting. The dreadful massacres which attended the exterrnina- tion and expulsion of the Hurons by the fierce and war -like Mohawks might at the first glance be thought sufficient to account for these large deposits of 1111110.11 bones, which have been found chiefly in the neigh. borhood of these scenes. It is likely that some were the results of those massacres. Of the ceremony attending this Huron cus- tom of burying their dead, Charlevoix has written an interesting encount He says: "This grand ceremony, the most serious and celebrated of all convected with Indian religion, took place every eight years among some tribes, and Avery, ten years among the Hurons. It was called the 'Fete des Morts,' and commenced by the appoint- ment of a place where they should meet. They then chose a king of the fete, whose duty it was to arrange everything, and send invitations to the neighboring villages. The appointed day arrived. All. the In- dians assembled and went iti procession two and two to the cemetery. In some tribes of stationary habits the cemetery was a regular burial ground outside the Village. Some buried their dead at the scramble among the French-Canadians foot of a tree and some suspended them on which followed the first finding of the I a scaffold to dry. This last was a. custom, kettles, the exact position of the different , try proceeding among them when absent contents of the pit could not be accurately from home or on a hunting excursion, so observed. The bones had been removed to that on their return they might more con- , venieittly carry the body with them. AN INDIAN' FUNERAL. . t e en of three or four, feet before any of the other contents were exposed. The kettles were found arranged over its bottom with their cavities upwards, placed upon pieces of bark, and filled with bones. Thee latter resemble somewhat the copper boilers in use at the present day. They appeared to be formed out. of sheet copper, the rims being beaten out to cover a strong iron bend which passes entirely round " the neck of the vessel, for the purpose evi- dently of strengthening them, and to carry the iron hoops by which they were surround- ed, The smallest of them measures 18 inches in diameter and 9 in depth. One of the largest is more than two fee e in diameter and 13 inches in depth. The handle re- mains perfect in some, in the form of a strong, removable hook, and the copper is in good preservation. The largest of the conch shells found in the mound weighs three poends anti a quarter, and measures 14 inches hilts largest diameter. Its outer surface has lost all polish, and is quite honey -combed by age and decomposition. It hes lost all color, and has the appearance of chalk. A piece has been cut from its base, probably for the purpose of making the beads which were found with it, AN ANCIENT TOMANAWIL The axe is nearly of the same model as the present tomahawk in common use among the Chippawa Indians, though very much larger, measuring 11 inches in length and 6 1/2, along its cutting edge, and weighing five pounds and a half. It must have lost considerable weight, as it is deeply indented by rusk It has no characteristic mark, but was recognized by the French Canadans as being probably of French manufacture, and similar ones have been found in the neighborhood on newly cleared lands. No len than five of the same pattern were found under a stone near Thunder bay a few years back, where they appear to have been placed for concealment. The metal of these axes is remarkably good and easily converted into useful hoes by the Canadians. The pipe is imperfect. It is made of the cart believer° of which so many specimens are found in the neighborhood in the /brut of fragments of vessels, pipes, etc., and the spots where the manufacture of these things was carried on are still distinctly marked in some places. The beads are formed of a white, chalky substance resembling the material of the large shells. They are ac- curately circular with a circular perforation in the centre. They were found in bunches or strings, and a good many wereetilI close- ly strung on a fibrous, woody substance. The bracelet is a simple band of brass an inch and a, half broad and fitting the 'wrist closely. The second pit was discov- ered on September 16 last It is about two miles from the first pits A beech tree emir inches in diameter grew from its ceetre, In several of the skulls found in this inoand were discovered Clean mend holes of the size of a musket ball. The third of then sepulchral pits which Immo been examined was visited on Novem- ber 4 last. A French-Canadian who was working in the vicinity immediately re, cognizeit its peculiar appearance, and told the people that if they would dig there they would find plenty of hones and 26 kettles, e prediction which was speedily verified, The bones in the mound Were scarcely covered by earth. /t wen noticed that only a few of the skulls bore rearks of violetiee. One which was exposed in my presence had a circular perforation on the top resembling a bullet hole, and others bore the appearance of having been" tome. hawked." It wen Alen observed that the size of then bones was innch larger thee those in tae other pits. Some of the lower jaws wore story large, and would amply en- circle that of a fulltsited European, A pipe was alio found in this mound, homing on one side of it a human face, the eyes of which were formed of a fern. The base "Arrived at the cemetery they proceede to search for the bodies ; they then unite for some time to consider in silence a spec tacIe so capable of furnishing serious ranee Hons. The women first interriipted th silence by cries of lamentation. They the used to talte the bodies, arrange the separ ate and dry bones and place them in pack ets to carry on their shoulders. If any o the bodies were not entirely decomposed they separated the flesh, washed them, an enclosed them in new beaver Skins. The then returned in the same procession the came into the village, and each deposite his burden in his 'cabana.' During bh procession the women used to continue the lamentations, and to testify the samemark of grief as on the day of death, and thi second act was followed by a feast in each house in honor of the dead of the family. The following days were spent in dancing games and combats, ad which prizes were bestowed. Everything, even dances and songs, seemed in some way to breathe grief, and everyone to be overcome with raelan- choly, that the most indifferent spuctator would have been overcome by the sight After some days they all went to a grand council room, where they suspended against the walls the bones and bodies, and placed with them the presents in- tended for the dead, The closing act o the ceremony was to place the remains in a large hole, whieh was lined with the finest skins and anything which they considered valuable. This, then, there can be little doubt, is an explanation of the origin of some of these pits. 'The utensils which have been found in some of the pits must have been highly valuable, very diffienle to be procured and far too useful to the living to be given to the dead merely as a present, and must ha* been placed there with some other motive, Bearing in mind the destruc- tion of human life when the war of exterm- ination of the Hurons was going on in 1648, one cannot help in some degree associating the two and consideringthat while some were merely depositories for the dead formed in times of peace in aceordanee with the above custom, others, more particularly those containing kettles, were made (entire warpage of burying the killed in battle anti secreting theproperty of the vanquished.

Recognizing the truth of this, our poultry breeders bane devoted a their energy to the production of certain valueble qualities in the fowls ; and by selecting for breeders only those oosseesing the desired truth in a marked ttegree, they inteneify she disposition to excel in that one feature, This has given US 'our egg breeds, market breeds, and the breeds withthe bump of combativeness very prominent.

' If eggs are the purpose for Which you are breeding, you must seleet your breeders with great care, avoiding all that have not already *proven themselves exceptionally good layers, and whose ancestors for gen- erations past were great layers. Occasion. al any breed will " sport" a phenomenal layer, but it is not likely any of her chicks will possess the haying qualities to the same degree as she did. -.But a hen whose imme- diate ancestors have all been good layers, if mated to a male who descends front a laying feiwily, will produce chicks as good, if not better in this particular, than she is herself. By • continuing from year to year the selection of only the best layers for yoer breeders, you will eventually pro- duce a strain of fowls vastly superior to anything you now have in your yards. Injurious in -and -in -breeding should be avoided, but a little judicious in -breeding will prove a great benefit in your undertak- ing. It is the continued in -and -in -breeding. for years that weakens the constitution and makes your fowls more "ornamental than useful. Avoid it. Continued in -and -in- breeding redden the size as wellas enfeebles the entire system, and while size is not a matter of much moment to the eggman, he cannot afford to bantamize his fowls. If he does they will lay correspondingly small. - He must preserve the natural proportions in his fowls for by dwarfing them in one particular he dwarfs them and their produce as a whole, and the eggs are smaller, even if he succeeds in increasing the annual out- put per hen. - Much as I believe in the magical powers of the scientific breeder, I do not for a mo- ment believe by his art alone he can, un- aided, make the desired improvement. Breeding and food mating and feeding are hand -maidens, and must be found closely associated if we expect to make any con- siderable improvement in our breeds of fowls. One of them without the aid of the other will avail little.

Cern Tonne, Feb. 17. —News of the re- cent unsuccessful expedition of Milton Astor Chanter, the Amerioan explorer, to Climb Mount Xenia, lends interest to the statement of Dr. ..T, W. Gregory of the 13eitish museum, who has just returned from an expedition in equatorial Africe# one of the principal features of which was the ascent of the great African mountain Kettle, on. which he reached to a point 3,000 feet higher than any, previous traveller. Sneaking of hie journeys Dr, Gregory said : "I left London Nov, 4, last enter, to join an expedition to Lake Rudolph, the head- water, of the Juba river and Somaliland. The trustees of the museum had given me special leave of absence, tie collections from this distriet were math wanted, as well, as some definite knowledge of its geological structure. The expedition had been orga- nized by Lieut. Villiers of the First Life Guards and was on a somewhat extensive scale. We had over 300 men., Turks, Somalis, Abyssinians, and Zan:aerie. "The, expedition got into inextricable confusion before it hart started from the coast, and our leader left us without saying good -by, and before lie had epee a mile from the coast. The rest of us reached Ngenano, on the Tana, and there the expe- nitiou was disbanded. Capt. Harris and I returned WITH ran zsuizrnemis and some of, the Somalis to Mombasa, There I hastily organized a smell caravan of forty Zanzibaris, with vehreh I made a fresh start ten diets later. I was, of course, anxious not to leave Africa without having made some contribution to our knowledge of the problems, to study which my leave of absence woes granted. From Mombasa I followed the route to Uganda for 450 miles, passing through Tzavo, Kibwezi,Machakos and Fort Smith. I then struck across to Lake Baringo by a new route, and explored the lake basin and surrounding country. Thence I traversed the Masai plateau of Leikipia, managing to dodge most of its very hostile inhabitant. This brought me to the east end of the Kikuyu country, where food was fortunately abundant, and I was able to purchase enough to last me during my work on Xenia. , "Though.the ascent of this mountain was probably the part of my tour of most general interest, it is by no means the most important scientifically. It was necessary for me to examine it in order to fix its posi- tion in the African mountain system. Ac- cording to Count Teleki (the only European who had previously ascended it above the forest zone), itbas a well-preserved volcanic crater; but asits position in relation to the main lids of earth movement in the district rendered this improbable I ASCENDED THE MOUNTAIN to determine this point and also to collect the fauna and flora of its higher zones to see if there were any glaciers on it, and if so whether these had once been more ex- tensive and if there were any signs of an ice age in equatorial Africa. With these ob- jects I ascended the mountain to the height of 17. 000 feet, This involved a good deal of work over snow-covered glaciers, which, as I was alone, required great care. I was at lest stopped by a snow cornice which I could not turn without running undue risks. I should, of course, have liked to reins') the summit of the greet mountain. but I should have learned nothing more by a Se.

"I,hoped to work round to the north aide and try from there, hue I was recalled to look after my men, who were suffering from mountain Bickner% and hemorrhage of the lungs, not to mention chilblains, frost bite, etc. These were the men whom I had left at my two upper camps, one about 1,000 feet above the forest zone, and the other higher up among some crags in the Alpine zone. The temperature in my tent was often 28 degrees below frelaing, and the Zanzibar's are not used to that sort of climate. All my luggage harl been left in a reserve camp Leikipta at the western foot of the mountain." TO KEEP DOWN OBESITY. Enough Ladles Observe Periods or Dieting on chicken, Fisk ails! Game.
