in the Indian huts, which
showed the effects of fire. These resemble those described by
Austin Dana, except that they arc made of ledge stone, and raised
a little above the level of the ground.
Mr. Sajiuel Wriuiit, resides on the farm in Weybridge, between
Otter Creek and Lemon Fair, and at their junction, on which his
father Capt. Silas Wright, formerly lived, and on which his
brother Hon. Silas Wright, Jun.,* was brought up from his in-
fancy. It is the same farm, on which Thomas Sakford was the
first settler, in 1775, and on which he was captured and carried to
Canada, and imprisoned. ]Mr. Wright says, that he has often
found, and ploughed up on the farm, Indian arrow and spear heads,
some of which were broken, also pestles and other implements. He
ploughed up, in one place,where they had been buried, a collection
of them, consisting of fifteen or twenty articles, some of which he
presented to us. And he says, similar relics arc found on all the
neighboring farms. We have a perfect spear head picked up on
the farm of his neighbor, Jehiel Wright, T/ho says that other
relics have often been ploughed up there. He says also, that on the
narrow strip of hard land, on the border of the streams, formed by
the overflowing of the water, he has seen evidence of tillage, such
as corn hills and potato hills, and that on the neighboring lands are
heaps of stone, which show evidence of being burnt by fire kindled
about them. These he supposes were built for their fire in the huts,
to secure them from being burnt. lie states also,
