LEONARD ScoTr g. Co. in this days paper. The re-
publication of these celebrated Reviews has met with
much success in this country; and indeed they are
invaluable containing the productions of the best

DOUBTFUL STORY.

It's said that the skeleton of a man,
eighteen feet high, has been recently dug
up in Tennessee. The bones of the thigh
and leg measure six feet six inches. The
skull is described as being about two-thirds
the size of a -four barrel, and capable of
holding in its cavities, neal two bushels; a
coffee cup of good size could be put into
the eye sockets-and the jaw, teeth, which
are all perfect, even to the enamel, would
weigh from three and a half to six pounds.
Some of the smaller ones which were loose
have been weighed-the front teeth are
missing. These teeth bear the evidence Of
age, from their cavities and appa-
rent diminution from use in wearing away.
The story reads like a hoax, but a human
skeleton, or what was supposed to be one.
