having raised the rent to two shillings."

told there!
"Months passed. away. while Ruth

Ancient Inhabitants Of Nebraska.

On the Upper Missouri there exists q
tract of country known by the name of
Mauyaises Terres, or bad lands; at one
time, probably the bottom of an immense
lake, in which per;shed thousands of ami
mails having now no representatives on
earth. 1t appears that the waters Of this
immense pond were removed by some con-
yulsion of nature or other, and the sedi-
ment at the bottom became indurated.
The portion of the valley thus excavated
forms surface Of ninety miles in length
and thirty in breadth. The remains Of
animals which have lived and breathed
long before the advent Of man on earth,
are here fouud in such abundance as to
form of this tract an immense cemetary of
vertebrate. The bones are said to be COM
pletely petrifed, and their cavities filed
with silicious matter. They are preserved
ip various degrees of integrity, some most
beautifully perfect, and others broken.
Two remarkable species of rhinoceros-
the first ever found in America-wexe dis
covered here, and also \ sort of panther,
smaller than the present variety, and like
wise q number Of strange animals with
long names, unlike anything which man
ever saw alive. We know, then, that
there were once individuals in Nebraska
as curious, and as strangely shaped, and
as pugnacious as any squatter whom the
present great rush of immigration will car
ry thither-Perry (Pa.) Freeman.
