   Discovery of an Ancient Burying Ground.—The Cincinnati
Commercial, for October 11th, contains a communication
from Eaton, Ohio, which describes the discovery of an
ancient burial place. The skeletons, about fifty in number,
were taken out of a gravel-pit, near Lewisburg, Ohio,
and seem to have been those of seven women and children,
mingled indiscriminately. The writer, in speaking of their
position says: "There is a very curious fact in regard to
the burial of these bodies, as a great many seem to have been
buried face downward, and in some cases they were found in
a sitting posture. In one place several skulls, were found in
a circular position, and in the center of this ring was found
a single skull, all of which were baked in a tremendous hot
fire, as the clay in which they were burned, so to speak, had
been heated to such an extent that the ground for many feet
deep was almost calcareous. Many suppose that the skull in
the center of the ring was that of a distinguished chief, and
that their curious way of burial was a curious whim of their
religious rites, while others think they were Mound-builders
and not Indians, as the remainder of a number of skulls were
buried in trenches which radiate from this circular assemblage
of skulls. In many places it appears that these bodies were
not buried in the bare ground, for in many cases they have a
bed of charcoal under and above them, a good preserver;.
the bones would have disappeared long since had they been
buried otherwise. Many of these skeletons were found not
more than from three to four feet under ground.
   Lewisburg is a small place, situated in a beautiful locality
in the northeastern part of this county, on the west bank of
Seven-mile, one of the principal branches of the Miami river.
Joseph Singer, one of the first settlers of Ohio, built a
small cabin within one hundred yards of this ancient burying
ground, in the year 1798, and cleared off and improved the
same farm now owned by his son. When he first settled 
on this farm it was used very often by the Miami tribe of
Indians as a camping ground, there being several excellent
springs nearby. There has been no one buried at this place
so far as the present generation can reach.

From The New York Herald:

            An extraordinary and fully authenticated medical case has developed at Gratis, a villa in Preble County, 10 miles from Hamilton.  It is reported by Dr. R. C. Lawrence and substantiated by several Hamilton doctors.

            A woman 55 years old in the village developed a horn on her forehead.  It grew to a length of two inches and was attached to the skull.  Some two years ago she struck a door and broke one inch from the bony growth.  It again developed more rapidly than before, and attained a length of five inches.  It was about one inch in diameter at the base and tapered to a point.

            Dr. Lawrence recently sawed off the entire horn, which in every way resembles a ram’s horn.  He confirms the statement in all details, and has exhibited the growth to many Hamilton, Ohio, physicians, who pronounce it a genuine horn.  The woman’s general health is not affected.
