INTERESTING TO THB cAUsE OF SCIENCE.
Mr.. Edaor-My much esteemed great
ly celebrated, and very learned friend,
Doctor Longbow, having just returned
through the Western States and Terrific
ries, for the laudable purpose of aiding
the cause Of literature and science in A
merica, has communicated to me the fol-
lowing details of most wonderful discov-
cry which he had the happiness of max
ing during his tour, and of which infor-
nation he has kindly permitted me to give
your widely circulating Journal the out
lines, reserving to himselfthe privilege OF
publishing to the world, from the press OF
the Athens Of America, memoir OF this
extraordinary event, which will inquest
ionably form an era IN the history OF SCI
ence and mankind.
Before proceeding, however, in rela-
ting the circumstances Of the discovery, a
few preliminary remarks may be necessa-
ry, that the subject may be better under
stood by the general reader, and thus di-
vested Of the air of fiction which it might
otherwise assume.
II is we'll known that various kinds Of
animals, birds, and fishes, have been
found in different parts Of the world i'm
bedded in solid rock, Of which they ap-
peared to form an integral part, but which
must once have been living, breathing
creatures and to use correct and com
mon phrase, have themselves become
petrified masses Of stone. Such instan-
ces are Of common notoriety in some
parts Of the United States, scarcely q

cess. When this process was in its first
stages, and the inclosing substance was
in . half fuid state, any animal, fish, or
other substance, which became accident
ally surrounded by il, would soon become
encased in stone, and in succession oi
ages would become stone itself. To this
process there are few exceptions, some
