INTERESTING REMAINS The editor OF the Warsaw
(Missouri) Yeoman in his last paper, gives an ac-
count of a visit, IN company with Colonel Benton
and others, to the place where a Mr. Bryant Is e1-
humng the remains oil various animals unknown TO
the age, among which are those OF an animal which
he STYLES Missourium. 1t is near the Pomme de
Terre and about mile and half from where Mr..
Koch obtained skeleton a lew days since These
remains are found embedded in white quick sands
and from two TO ten feet under ground WITHIN the
space of twenty feet square numerous bones and hun
dreds of teeth of various shapes and kinds, ana evil
IDENTITY belonging to different species OF animels nave

having been buried there. But the most remarkable
among them are the bones OF the aforesaid Missou-

thigh bone, which seems perfect and IN excellent

diameter al the head, and eight inches In diameter
at its smallest part. We also saw seven feet OF q

Among the great variety oil teeth was one which
weighed fifteen and half pounds. Several pieces
of rib bones were found, which were about an inch
and half thick, and three and half wide; and III
stead of being curv. atwise like The ribs OF an OK
were curved edgewse. The bones IN the best state

the back. Six of these were found in be about
three feet square, and are perfectly sound, the OBJ

containing the spinal marrow Is about three inches

From the fact of the remains of so many differ
ent ANIMALS being found together, and so charred
wood being found with them. the opinion seems
very naturally to prevail, that they collected
and buried there by race OF beings loUg since ex-
tlnct AT all events 1t would seem to be subject
not unworthy the attention OF the naturalist and
geologist. The writer speculates as follows con-
corning this wonder
"Can it be that race of men existed in ages
long, long buried in the. deepest oblivion, who held
these an mails in such awe and veneration, that
they took the same pains to collect and bury their
zones that they did those OF their fathers? Not FAR
from where those bones were found is mound 290

called an Indians grave. This whole mound may
be one vast sepulchre OF a mighty people built in
