 a vessel were taken out, which has since been restored to nearly its 

 original shape. Northeast of this skeleton, about ten feet distant, and 

 on the north side of an oak tree, the skeleton of a small child was ex- 

 humed, and near its head was found a small two story or double vessel, 

 which is now in Mr. W. C. Rogers' collection. This vessel was de-

 a sitting position, uncovered and removed; near this, and about twenty

 A skeleton, in horizontal position, was next exhumed, and with this two 

 vessels were found. These remains were remarkably well preserved,
