THE

Supposed Remains of a •Lake
Village near Edinburgh, Scot-
land.
A discovery of considerable anti-
quarian interest has recently been
made in the vicinity of Lochend.
The sheet of water is supposed to
have extended in remote times over
L much larger space of ground than
it at present covers. Be this as it
may, it is certain that of late, owing
to the -withdrawal of water for the
supply of Leith manufacturer's, the
loch has greatly fallen off in point
of size. It was in a`strip of ground,
formerly covered with water, but
now laid bare along the western
margin of the loch; that Mr. David'
Grieve, Lochendrard,- an active Fel-
low- of the Society of Antiquaries,
had his attention attracted some
months ago by the discovery of some
remains of trees, embedded in the
soil. The wood was fast ,crumbling
into niould, and it was only on
careful examination that the eye de-
tected what appeared 6 to be the
outlines of heavy logs disposed
along the surface it pretty
regular in+ervala. Pursuing .his
observations, Mr, Grieve discovered
that the remains'extended -along the
shores of the loch for the distance of
120 yards, the impression conveyed -
being that they had formed par( of:
a great wooden frame work or plate
form. In the absence of any other
feasible explanationof such a struc-
iw..e, the suppcs natural-
ly suggested itself that 'the tit-n-
:1)as had served as foundation
for au ancient lake village. The
matter having been brought un
der the notice of antiq iarians, some
excavations were made a few days
ago with a view to more minute
investigation. Three or four pits
were dug, and each disclosed rude
lags of wood, lying parallel, or near-
by so, and resting on other logs
which lay in a different direction.
Sonie of the logs were of oak, but
the greater number were of pine,
with the bark in many instances
still remaining. The wood preserv-
ed its general appearance, but, when
taken in the hand, crumbled away
like clay. Beneath the log was
found a mass of rich black mould,
intermixed with nuts and- fragments
• of small branche3. ThiS is s:.pposed
to be the remains of faseines orbun-
dies of underwood, which might
have been in filling up the in-
terstices. Owing to the rapid ac-
cumulation of water, it was found
impossible to find the number of
tiers of logs, or the depth to which
the framework extends: No imple7
merits Or other •traces of human oc-
cupation were discovered. It should
be mentioned, hewever, that Mr.
Cr'eve recently found by the loch
area by, a number of bones, , Some
of which have been identified as
those of red deer. On the part of
the antiquaries who:have visited the
place, there seems to be a strong int
1)resaion-that the timber frame work
indicates the site of .a lake village,
though further investigation may
perhaps be necessary before the point
ean ccuclusively be determined, and
the age ef the remains ascertained.

Loss of a Fortune Through
Speculation.
One of the most remarkable stories
n the hist( ry of speculation is told in
a late nuIllber of the Manchester
Cuardian. It arises out of the bank-
i'ui)tcy of an old gentlemen named
Howard, who is nearly eighty years
of age. More than half it century
ago Mr. Howard began business as
a cotton spinner, at Ilyde, Cheshire.
In the course of forty years he had
accumulated a fortune ' egceeding a
quarter of million sterling, when by
tion whatever.
