is the third one found at that place, l,Df the

appearance Of the gravel bank in which THE

of this species has been embedded in this
place, the fossiliierous remains Of which are
in natural state ofpreservation, and may
when completely exhumed, show almost the
entire bones and frame Of the huge monster,
much beyond, perhaps, double the size Of the
living Asiatic, or African Elephant. The
molar teeth, four in number, all that the
species pOssess,were found in the jaws sound
and upbroken, and two weigh twenty pounds
each, and two fourteen pounds each. The
tusks were not in as good condition, one only
being sound enough to bear moving This

+ A VERY IMPORTANT FAcT.-The editor OF
the Rochester Journal made very careful in
vestigations and observations during the
late ravagcs of the cholera in that city. Few
persons, he says, who were perfectly ien-
perate, died OF cholera. In these few cases
he found that they were very feeble--had
overtasked their budily powers had busi-
ness which led them TO spend much oi their
time in some very sickly quarter. where the
disease seemed to have originated-nr had
been imprudent in regard to their diet. The
great majority of cases among the temperate
were promptly relieved by prnpCr medical
treatment. But the most important fact
connected with the matter is, that OF the
members of the different Temperance Or
dcrs in that city, no, one has died the pas
season of cholcre. This fact. as the Journa
suggests, is truly Of great significance, n
corroborating the point that the use of alco
holic stimulants predisposes to discase, an
especially to that fearful scourge The Asiat
