Some years ago, when MR. ARTHUR COOPER WAS STREET INSPECTOR, the street was opened, and under his direction was graded down, the surplus earth being used to fill up the spot where the city hall now stands. at that time a great quantity of bones were dug up and many of them were deposited with the earth when it was moved. MR. BLUFORD also informed us that while the excavation was going on a trunk with a quantity of coin in it was dug up a portion of the contents falling into the possession of MR. COOPER.
