Indian Graves.--The laborers on the Ashuelot Railroad, near the Connecticut river in Hinsdale recently opened a mound and exposed the skulls and bones of fourteen bodies, buried in a row. The skull and bones of one of them, we hear, was exhumed almost entire, and is the remains of a gigantic native, seven feet in height. Another lot of skulls has been thrown out about one mile below this village, where the Ash Swamp Brook joins the Ashuelot river. This latter point was probably a favorite fishing ground of the natives. Salmon and shad, as well as the native trout, were found in this valley, in great abundance, in the early settlement of it. One of our "oldest inhabitants" informs us that his father killed a salmon of 18 pounds weight, with his pitchfork, in the Ash swamp brook.--Keene (N. H.) Sentinel.
