RELICS OF INDIAN SAVAGERY.
Ghastly Reminder of the Wyoming
Massacre Is Preserved.
AVIIkcs-Barre, April 2C A ghastly
reminder of the battle of Wyoming has
found Its way to the Historical socie
ty. Recently, says the Record, there
was exposed to view -by an excavation
In Wyoming a grave, though there was
nothing else than a skeleton found.
The skull gives unmistakable evidence
that It was that of one of the unfortu
nate pioneers who lost his life at tho
hands of the savages. On top of the
head Is n bullet hole and on one tem
ple what uppears to have been a tom
ahawk thrust, the blade having been
driven with such force as to carry
away a piece of the skull and leave the
brain exposed.
But these wounds are not the most
striking feature. The cruel savage
scalped his victim so savagely that his
blade sunk Into the skull at each of the
two motions made by him In the hor
rid act. The two seml-elrcular cuts
nre plainly distinguished at the very
spot where the Indians were accus
tomed to remove the scalp lock. They
form a circle about three inches in di
ameter. The grave was found In what
was formerly a burying ground on the
site of the village, but of which every
t -ace vanished long years ago. It was
the first graveyard In the valley so far
as appears.

Had times been good and money plenty we would not
have one pair of these expensive, real lace curtains on hand
that we bought at the Bankrupt Stock of Kerr, Sou & Co.
But money is tight aud imitations have the field, because
they look well at a distance and cost little money.
Well, the Spring Curtains, including Cluuy, Brussels,
and Point Lace,s, Orientals, Rcnuaissauce, Marie Antoinette
and other high class curtains lufrc staid with us. We must
sell them; we have no option in the matter, aud for this
week we will sell the highest grade of curtains that ever
came to this city at common quality prices. It's a shame,
but there's no help for it.
