These relics bave of late been atbered op by curiosity huntersand taken away, ut till they are quite plentiful. Destrous of ve- tying these stories our reporter strolled off a day or two since in this direction, and after a tew hours’ diligent inquiry for “Uncle Gabriel,” the name of the squatter, finally arrived at the spot. Finding that Uncle Gabriel kept a large- eized dog he kept a respectable distance from the shanty, Co took = b= mags em where he began to,look around for r t was not long Defore several of these arrowheads were discv- and sei ‘They are for the most part fashioned out ot a white flint roek, and the re- cent heavy rains have washed the biavk dirt o.!, making them visible at a cousiderab’ distance.

The immediate vieinity of St. Jobn’s church, on the corner of H and’ 16th streets, First Ward, seems to be a favorite resort of these half starved animals, and from tive to ten of them may be found almost any hour of the day, Sundays not cepted, subjecting the clilsens of that vicinity to every kind of inconvenience.
