of prodigiOns size. was discovered about four weeks since, at the Big Bone lick, in Kentucky. We have the following par ticulars from a friend, who received them of a gentleman, who resided near the Lick.
 There are ten or twelve set of tuSks, from four 10 twelve feet long the claws are four feet long and three broad the tusks are arranged in circular order, as if by the hands of man within the circle the bones are deposited, which, when pla- ced together, showed the animal to have been at least 25 feet high, and sixty feet long. The skull-bonc alone weighed 400 pounds. They were found by Mir. Fin ny, about IA feet below the surface of the earth, who has refused $5,OOO for then.- The skeleton is said to be complete saving only one or two ribs.
 When, and how, this animal existed must bafle all speculation. The mammoth himself, SO long the wonder of these latter times, must dwindle into comparative in- significance before this new discovered prodigy. If carnivorous, buffalo would scarcely serve him for meal; and if gran ivorous, trees must have been his tender herbage.-Nat. Jo,umal.
 A Splendid Schcme.-We have just re- ceived pamphlet, entitled " The Report of the meeting of Workingmen in the city of Wheeling, Va., on forming Settlement in the State of Illinois," which gives the outlines of an original and extensive plan for that purpose. They propose to pro- cure large number of subscribers in vari- ous parts of the conntry--tO purchase land enough for county in one body, say 30 or 36 miles square-to exclude from their settlement the making or vending of alchol- ie or intoxicating liquors, gambling, and many other evils-to establish domestic warehouse, and new banking and educa- ton system-to form their whole commu- ni&y into mutual insurance company-to lay off city in the centre, with admirable regulations and privileges-with variety of other features which we cannot partic- ularize the present week. The project deserves attention at least as a matter ofcu- riosity and we shall give more full ac- count of it hereafter.-Gcnius of Temp.
 Hozlitt, one of the very best writers of age, has gone to his long home. The third and fourth volumes of his celebrated Life of Napoleon, now just issuing from the Eng fish press, will derive additional interest as posshumous publications. The editor of the London Atlas says: On Thurs day last, (2s of Sept.) the body of William Hazlitt was borne beneath our windows :; till that moment we were not aware that man of genius, a popular writer-the au- thor of no less able a work than the Life of Napoleon, which alas closed his literary labours-and an amiable man, had been out next door neighbor for months, endu- ring sickness, and at length dying in indi- gence. We boast of national generosity, glory in the fourishing state of our litera- ture, and thunder forth the power of the press, the palladium of our liberties; in the meanwhile, the spirit which is life' is allowed to burn itself out in penury and privation. Publishers sport their carria- ges, or fail for hundred thousand pounds and those by whom they become publishers die for want of dinner.-Jour. aud Trio.
