Indian antiquities. Ohio City Argus
states that an ancient mound in that place has
been recently opened, and found to contain beads,
arrow points, stone knives, and various other in
struments and ornaments. One skeleton was dis
covered entire, and portions of others. On
counting the grains Of the stump of tree that
stands upon the top of the mound, it appears that
this tree must have been about one hundred and
fifty years old. 1t has been cut down about six
teen years. The great age of these tumul may
be inferred somewhat from this circumstance,
but when we remember that trees six hundred
years old, supposed to be thefourth growth, have
been found upon some of them, it sinks into in
significance. Several Of the mounds in the SUI
burbs of st. Louis, which have been opened
have been found crowded with remains. This
was the case in removing part Of the mound upon
which the residence of the late Gen. Ashley
stands; and in cutting. away two others last sum-
mer, upon the grounds of Col. O'Fallon, in the
northern suburbs, the same was found to be the
case. M
