A REMARKABLE DIscovERy.-A man in Salem, Washington county, Ohio, en- gagged in hewing our mill stone, having broken off the upper surface of the stone, three inches and half, discovered several holes, in a straight line, across the stone, having every appearance of being drilled for the purpose of setting wedges to break the stone. In one of the holes was part of wedge. Two tin plates of iron had first been put into the hole, and the wedge was driven in between them, and was bro- ken off. The plates and the wedge were in state of preservation, having rusted but little. These holes and the wedge were three inches and half from the surface, the stone apparently having grown over them. The stone was perfectly solid, excepting these holes, and the upper surface was of t5a same nature and hardness with other parts of the stone.

 The stone was dug out of the side of a steep hill and was covered by two or three feet of dirt washed from the hill above.

 QUERY :-Who put the wedge there and when ?-The wedge remains in the stone and may be seen by any person who will take the pains to call at the mill in the place where it was discovered. Cincinnati Jcur.
