An Indian Relic, found ia the town of Bethlehem, Albany county, N. 

 Y. This beautiful relic is composed of a compact variety of green slate. 

 It is made in the form of a hatchet with two edges, with a hole in the 

 center for the insertion of a handle; length four inches, width one and 

 a half inches. Relics of similar form have been generally called stone 

 hatchets, Squier and Davis, in their work on the Ancient Monuments of 

 the Mississippi valley (Vol. one of the Smithsonian Contributions to 

 Knowledge), in speaking of similar relics, justly remark, "It is clear, 

 nevertheless, both from their form and material, that they were not 

 designed for use. They may be regarded as having been intended for 

 ornament or display."
