race Of miIiyn Path Valley came up
on them z fea below the surtsce Of

in length, IA inches 10 circumference,
and weighs shoG 20 pounds. 1t was
found saysthe Repository near the head
of a large limo stcne spring which is

into a meadow; formerly no doubt, a
marsh, occasionally overhown by The
creek. Other homes were discovered,
but they all crumbled Immediately on
exposure to the air. The enamel or
outer csat Of the tooth was very firm,
aud difficult ia break with a pick; The
inner part had become, in some de
gree, sof,ened, but presents a beautitu
