EXTRAoRDINARY PETRIFAcTIoN AND OTHER
CrR1os1TIEs.- steamer ST Ange, Capt.
Eabage, arrived here yesterday from the yell
low Stone after voyage of 6fty-two days.
Capt l. informs us that for ten years past be
has, in every successive annual trip, observed
remarkable looking solitary cedar tree stand
ing upon bleak and elevated point, about 6f-
ty miles below the mouth of the Yellow Stone
While coming down this last trip, he saw that
his old acquaintance had fallen to the earth
Curiosity led him 10 the spot. which was about
half a mile from she river, and perhaps seven
hundred feet above its level, when he found,
to his surprise, that the tree was in the most
perfect state of petrifaction,- Judging from
the shortncss of the interval since be had seen
il standing, it must have been in that cond-
ton while standing erect as it had grown -
the trunk was about thirty sixinches in diam
eteE.a A fragment from it is now lying upon
our table, and is decidedly the most perfect
specimen Of ligneous petrifaction We have ev-
er seen.
D. Evans, U. S. Geologist, who came as a
passenger on the ST. Ange found, near the
same spot, the shoulder blade of a mastodop,
measuring nearly three and half feet across
also some enormous foot bones Of the same
animal Fossil shells, the head of snake,
and other cuiosities, we're found by DR.. Ev-
aus in the same locality. Il i'd .Hsa 5oF l.a
Among the notabili:ies of the trip was the
catching of beautiful specimen of the linnet,
a bird very rarely seen, by some, Of the boat

THE DAILY TIMES.
OUR HOMESTEAD.
BY MISS PHOEBE CARY,

BY MISS PHOEBE CARY.
Our brown old homestead reared its walls
~, from the waysde dust aloof,
Where the apple boughs could almost cast
Their fruitage on its root
And the cherry trees so near it grew.
That when awake I've lain
In the lonesome nights I've heard the limbs
As they creaked against the pane;
And those orchard trees, o, those orchard trees
have seen my little brothers rocked
In their tops by the summer breeze.
We had well, deep old well
Where the spring was never dry,
And the cool drops down from the mossy stones.
Where falling constantly;
ana there never was water half so sweet
AS that in my little cup,
drawn up to the curb by the rude old sweep.
Which my fathers hand had set up:
And that deep old well, O, that deep old WE'LL
remember yet that FLASHING sound
OF tho bucket as it fell
Our homestead had an ample hearth.
Where at night we loved 10 meet!
There my mothers voice was always kind,
And her smile was always sweet;
And there I've sat ON my fathers knee,
And watched his thoughtful brow,
With my childish hand in his raven hair
That hair is silver now
But that broad hearths light that broad hearths lieh
..,; And my father look and mothers smile,
They are in my heart tonight.
