Show A RELIC. The workmen employed by the Irish Peat Delevopment company at Derry-land, Derry-land, near Portadown, have dug up in the moss a runlet of butter, which must have lain embedded in the peat any time from 500 to 2,000 years. The butter, which is in a fair state of preservation, pre-servation, is enclosed in a firkin hollowed hol-lowed out of a tree stump, and covered cov-ered by a lid having a neatly worked handle carved out of the same piece of wood as the lid. For the find a I large price has already been offered. |
