A very Interesting dlscovory ha Just been made by the workmen at tho McKees Rocks, Pa., mound, which will convince even the most skeptical of the great antiquity of the mound, and the burial therein. The bone of a skeleton were found directly under the huge ouk tree on the northeastern side of tho mound. Imliedded amid the large mots. The body was burled in a sitting posture and surrounded with many large Hut stones, forming n cist. The great weight of the tree had presseil the boily down compactly, nnd the bones were foutid In n very small space.
