" Pof tbe Centennial. We are informed that a short time ago, Mr W. P. Standback found upon his plan tation in Richmond county, near Pee Dee River, two large earthen pots which he in tends to send to the Mecklenburg Centen nial as relics of a' by-gone age. rIt seems that the recent floods in that section washed away a considerable' portion of the land bordering upon the river, and these pots' were found quite, close together, about ten feet below the former surface, y One of the articles will contain about a bushel and the other about half a bushel. They are very smooth and appear to have been well and neatly made, and are doubtless remnants of an Indian camp, or settlemeat. of long, ago.; There is certainly nothing modern in their appearance, their peculiar make never hav ing been Witnessed in this section before.
