Show A RELIC. The workmen employed by the Irish Peat Development De-velopment Company at Derryland, 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, is enclosed in a firkin hollowed out of a tree stump, and covered by a lid haying a neatly worked handle carved out of the same piece of Avood as the lid. For the find a very large price has already been offered. |
