EIRL1 HISTORY.
The existence of Indian mounds, in several parts of the county, shows Ilinl thin region irus once the chirelling pince of's pre-historie ruce, whose sole history is fousil only in these nul similar relies af antiquity. One of These monnds is plainly lo he seen in Washington Township. Others are ecen some three miles north of Marocco, where exenvations rerented hminon bones amt primilive stone implements. Still mother mound, with consil- eralle mized Trees growing on ils surface, is Grund near the Illinois Siste line, and in the south lonik of The Iroquois River.
The Imlian inhnhilunts of The Netrlon Cannly region, belonged to Iho Iribe of T'olinwatlomies. The country, during their dny, was a fororile one rith them, for hunting and Irapping, aml large numbers mnde their homes in the " Bearer woods," and alany The Iroquois.

The history of wrhint is nuw Newlon County, heliveen the lime elapsing from 1836 lu nhoal 1960, is somrihol differ- cut from Ilinl of many ceunlies in The Stale, in this, thul a longer lime elapsed before the permanent sollters came in, nad Thul, for rurions reasons, there Ivas not much dune in the way of systematic furining. until a comparalirely Freenl period. There were Three classes of inhabitants since The departure of The red inen, which exodus lunk place, mnoyfly, heliveen 1835 and 1840. The first division of new comers irns composeil of hunlers and Irappere, who, if They made n permonthl slay, were leil tu ilo so by accident. Their object in coming was lo tmp and kill fur-bearing animals, with which the marshes unul woods were filled, and se plentiful irere these, that il, for many years, prored n lueralire business, for both the Irappers and altend- Bul Irnders. The business, indeed, is still one of considerable importance. The next class of inhahilants was made up of the restless und adrenturous fronlivremen and buckivoods squatters, who never seem content unless in some region where they ran enjoy the freedom and will, unrestrained lib- erty of The horder. These cultivated often a small plat of ground, where- upon la mise a little corn, bul their main dependenre was The rifle, and the snle of u for furs gained them ihnl alber necewares besides their primiliro moite of life required. Last of ull came those who wished lo make the country n permanent place of residence. nudl to plant here homes for their deelining age, and fur an inheritance to their clubdiren. These uften bought The elnims of the squollers, but more frequently began Their struggle with nolure, for a foolholil, where there was no airanlage lo be ghinet, by any previous improrenieuls whalorer.
