As I climb upon the old stone wall " that
separates the meadow from the timothy
field', I see ljing just below me, half buried
in the timothy grass, the figure of a man.
There is little I can see of him except
his mouth, for h straw hat is pulled quite
over Lis eyes J and nose; but well do 1
know that it is lazy Dick, my brother, who
should this moment be careering furiously
along behind Black Bess to meet the city
boarders j
Mindful of j caution7 and the shaky nature
of the stones,! I climb upon the topmost one,
and bending as. I can, above his head, I
chant a chorus in the air.
"Open your mouth and shut your eyes,
and 1 11 give you something to make you
wise," I sing' cheerfully, and as I do, I
drop a strawberry, the largest that the
meadow afforded, int3 his mouth.
A furious sputtering in the timotby
grass, suggestive of a vision of field bugs,
the snatching off of the unfaithful shade
hat, and a scrambling under the stone wall,
announce that prankish Dick with whose
mischievous joking soul, I have got : even
for this once; has found me out.
Hardly, does Dick stand staring at me
speechless, with a profound amazement
visible in every feature of a handsome face ?
Do Dick's clothes wear an air of style made
visible with every movement i Has Dick
black eyes? and "is he intensely, horribty,
frightfully good looking ? -
As the profoundest sense ot my mistake
cast these conundnims in my teeth, the
shaky old slate stones under my feet put on
the crowning touch ; without a single
warning that I know the miserable things
slip suddenly beneath my feet, and with a
futile clutch into the air, l Jose my oaiance
and my berries, and shoot head first with a
vrlocitv that upsets him. and leaves meA

about what date the fire-places, were last

formed on the top of them in lesthjm one
hundred years. On the surface, above the!
pits or fire-places, there were abundance of
signs of ' camping-grounds, co voreU over
with flints, mussel-shells, etc. Great Quant
ities of arrow-heads have been found on the;
surface all over this bend,. I next went in
conipany with Jas.J. Wheeler tdiwhat i si
known as Ceder Lick cave, situated four
miles north of Rome, Spencer county. Here
we found the aborigines had occujpied this
cave or rock house a3 a dwelling) for per
haps centuries, for we found ashes arid!
burnt earth, for some three feet peep, all
over the bottom, of this cave, wfich, was;
thirty or forty feet. Buried in thse . ashes
had been found human skeletons, with arrow-heads,
axes 'and fragments of flint.
Some hundred and fifty yards fVorh this
rock house we found two holes grilled in
sandstone, eight inches in diameter at the
top, tapering to the bottom, twenty-two
inches deep. . These, are called mortal s,
and, by thc-by, I learned of some seventy
five of these mortars in Breckinridgb county,
K,entucky, all about the same pattjerri. " In
some of thse mortars were found bowlders,
but nowhere were pest I ess to.be foliricj that
could have been used for pounding! corn in
these mortars. I next' visited a cave situat

Clay Jolly dug into this cave in
1872, when he found eleven and a
of aslies all over the bottom. In t le centre
and at the bottom was an altar, built of
sandstone, based upon a tool of si ndstone.
The alter was twenty-six . by twenty-three
inches in diameter, thirty-four inches high,
concave on the' top, and filled with 'ashes
and fire-coals. 4. On , two sides of this altar
lay a tier of human skeletons, tenl in each

of fresh water. , Here, after a time of care
