The pailing seems to have been removed-the hillock levelled-and the stone, bearing the name of this noble, though hostile chief, lies broken and thrown down in a corner of an enclosure piled with cannon balls.

 The Grave of Oceola-A head and foot stone, it appears, had been subsequently erected to mark the spot where the bones of his noble chief were supposed to repose. These stone, which had been procured by subscriptions made by officers of the garrison and citizens, had in process of time been so much marred by the idle and curious, who were desirous of obtaining a memento of the deceased, as to induce the commanding officer of the Fort, to direct the head-stone, which alone remained in any thing like it original state, to be removed within the ordnance yard, and a stone cutter employed to restore it, as far as practicable…  

But we are also requested, by the same authority from which the above facts are obtained, to state, that none of the bones of Osceola rest near the spot where these stones were erected, as the body was exhumed, and taken away for anatomical purposes, the night after it was committed to its mother earth.
