The Skeleton of an Ancient Giant.
Two miles north of Bloomingburgh, in Fayette Co., O., bones were found about three feet below the surface, in a sitting position. Unfortunately, the skull and some of the principal bones were broken in removal. The thigh bones measure about six inches longer than those of the present generation. The skull is very large, sloping back above the eyes to the top of the head. A very marked characteristic is the thickness of the skull, it being at least twice the thickness of modern skulls. The massive under jaw, with every tooth perfect, is a curiosity. The hight of the “party” must have been 8½ or 9 feet.—Cincinnati Gazette.
