"Mr Clifford, late of Kentucky, had in his lifetime, a pipe which was found in digging a trench on Sandusky river, in alluvial earth, six feet below the surface.

No tale of this species is known to exist on this side of the Alleghanies. This article, of course, must have been brought from a distance, probably from China, or its neighborhood". 364
