Skeleton Unearthed. -John Berry, while cutting a drain through the rear of his premises bordering on what ie called the little swamp, on the Blind Line, Hay, came across a skeleton or the part of one. Scene of the bones were partially decayed and. others in a good state of preservation. Some time ago a cedar tree eowe three feet in diameter had been cut down and the stump remained.This had to be removed as it WAS on a line with the drain and some three feet of excava- tion had to be made to reach the level and remove the stump. While doing this tbe discovery was made. The bones or skeleton were laidupon pieces . of cedar four in number, side by side, about seven feet long, evidently cut and put in position to lay these remains on at a date so remote as to perhaps count it hundred years dr more. It is supposed that they are the remains of an Indian and that the bodies of the departed were disposed of as is tbe custom of later years, by laying thein on top of the ground with their accoutrements. The fact of the tree having grown three feet in diam- eter and the skeleton being found four feet from the surface Makes it evident that a century must nearly have passed. To find the bones and wood in a good state of preservation makes the subject and find a mystery for solution. Are they the remains of some old Huron Chief ? • The curious have in this:a, case for investigation. Our people are repaying the visits of their city friends, both; at Toronto and London.
