Thus a simple cross, with a straight line from shoulder to shoulder and a dot, or circle above, to serve for a head, is the symbol of the human frame; and without any adjunct of feet or hands, it could not have been mistaken for anything else -- certainly for any other object in the animal creation."a There can be but little doubt this image was brought originally from the vicinity of Lake Waccabuc or VVepuc, and set up on a level spot on the summit of one of the highest hills of Candatowa, (a name that signifies " High Lands,") a site well chosen, thickly shaded with trees, and bearing luxuriant grass and wild shrubbery and flowers, with here and there peeps or openings of a wide expanse of country extending all around it, embracing the Asproom mountain range north of Lake Wepuc, the hills stretching northeast to Danbury, the dark green looking Stony Hills, to the west, and the distant Dunderburg and Kittatenny Mountains, &c. It was, in fine, one of those quiet solitary places which an Indian might be supposed to have selected for his secret worship of some favorite Manito or Spirit. The stone of which the principal part of the figure is composed resembles that of which the ovens are composed upon one of the islands in Lake Wepuc. The ovens themselves, too, have been fretted by the action of water into their present shape.

Indian graves have also been discovered upon a small wooded island surrounded by a swamp on the land of the late Stephen Bouton, now owned by his nephew, Joseph Webster, a short distance north-west of the road leading from Ridgefield to Bedford. In the vicinity of Aaron O. Wakeman's, quite close to the Connecticut line on the east, is a curious aboriginal relic called the " Indian well," which is above six feet deep and almost perfectly round, hollowed out from the solid granite rock either by the action of water or the tools of the Aborigines ; in this receptacle they probably cooked their food after a wholesale fashion
