A New GEOLOGIC MoNsTER.-Dr. Leidy,
of Philadelphia has reconstructed, from trag
ments of gigantic bones found in marl-pit at
Haddonfeld, N. j., another pre-Adamite rep
tile, not yet named, but aptly described as a
kangaroo-like alligator:
The creature was evidently of unimagined
dimensions Its hind leg bones, when put to-
gether, would reach seven feet, upon which the
pelyis, and the back bone and upper skim would
still go on, making it nearly nine or ten feet
high upon the launches. On the contrary the
fore-legs were so disproportionately short, that
had they been found at a different time or in
different place, no anatomist would have hest
tated to assign them to animals of different
kinds, or at least to different individuals; but
the animal which this one most resembles dis
covered in an English rock of the same age,
by Dr. Mantell, shows the fore and hind legs
equally dissimilar The fact no doubt is, that
we have here the relics of kangGroo-tike dUjgd-
tor of more than mammoth size, living near
the great tertiary rivers and lagoons, and feed
ing on the vegetation, as it safe erect on its
vast hind legs, supported by its tail. To get
at its length, Dr. Leidy took the number
of neck and back vertebra common to all
kinds ofreptiles, and averaged the number of
tail vertebre between the hundred in a tail of
the iguana and the twenty or thirty in the tail
of the crocodile, and, thus fixed the probable
length of the whole creature at twenty-five
feet. Its tail must have been three feet deep
its neck thin, and its head no doubt small.
Its teeth are but two inches long, but set in
such tessalated wall around the mouth as to
make a formidable cutting and grinding appa-
ratus. The family must have been very ex-
tensive for DIR. Leidy is now able to recognize
its representation by some enigmatical trag-
ments from Nebraska and from the Lower Mis-
sissippi The formation, we know, extended
across the continent, because its shells are
found from Mexico to the Arctic Sea, and on
Vancouyer's Island.
Horace, in jolly mood, has drawn the pic
ture of a herd of whales browsing among the
thickets of wood and calls them the flock of
Proteus, but Edgar Poe himself never could
have dreamed of herd of alligator kangeroos
as large as two-story log-cabins, with tails as
long as their woodyards, not crashing togeth-
or rolling-mill squeezers set with railroad
spikes at one another, but lovingly nibbling
the long branches of the fir forest, fragments of
which, turned to brown coal or Ignite, and
surcharged with sulphuret of iron, were found
together with the bones.

Destructive FIRE-INCENDIARIsM THE
CAusE.-On Saturday morning last, about
s o'clock, the Barn of Mr.. HENRY BERxER
just outside the village limits, was burned
to the ground. 1t contained large guam,
tity of hay, and was stored with farming
utensils, DC. The whole was consumed,
resulting in loss to Mr.. B. of at least
5000. There is no doub: that it was the
act of some scoundrel, as no fire had been
around the Barn for some days. The au-
thorof such an inhuman act shouldbe well
punished, and we hope our authorities will
ferret out the miscreant.

Norwegian named LARS Olson fell from

and was going down the second time when
Mr.. JOSEPH PERRY nobly jumped in after
him. The water was some twenty feet
deep, and the sea very high at the time,
but Mr.. PERRY, at the risk of his own life,
nobly saved the unfortunate man from a
watery grave. As it was, Mr.. P. had a
narrow escape, and it was with great diff
Guilty that he rescued the drowning man,
as well as saved his own life. Such a no.
bic and gallant act deserves more praise
than all the feats of BLoSDIN or BLITz.

Gen. Sect in Sal Juan.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 16.
Gen. Scott left here this afternoon for
New York, and will sail in the steamer Of
the Goth for the Pacific The present
delicate and complicated state of affairs at
San Juan, growing out of Gen. Harvey
movements, require great care and caution
on the part of our Government to prevent
a collision. The President, in comforting
with Gen. Scott in regard to the matter,
suggested the propriety of sending some
one there who was less impetuous and
more prudent than Gen. Harvey. Gen
Scott at once informed the President that
he would 60, and as soon as his instructions
were prepared he would be ready to start.
The instructions are partly prepared and
considered in Cabinet council to day.
They will probably be completed to NOR
row, and forwarded Immediately to New
York.

A CORRESPONDENT asks us, as the sub
stance Of a long letter." Can County
Board control the County Printing!
" What constitutes County Printing!" To
the first query, we answer most emphatic.
ally YES. To the second, the proceedings
of the Board, the Reports of the County
Officers made to the Board, an Annual Re-
port ofthe Receipts and expenditures of the
County, and the printing of such blanks as
the County furnishes to County officers at
the expense of the County.
The Treasurer's list of lands to be sold
for unpaid taxes is advertised at the ex.
pense ofsuch lands, because the amount is
added to the tax, and the law gives the
Treasurer exclusive authority in the mat.
ter of advertising. The County Board
cannot legally interfere Herewith.
The same is true with regard to the
Clerks List of lands liable to deed unless
redeemed from sale. The Clerk also has
the exclusive legal control of the publica
ton of all Ordinances passed by the Coun.
ty Board.

that we have given him sound legal opin
ion Of the premises whether it suits his
wishes or otherwise.-Appleton Crescent

4 DrsAGREEABLE EIsIr.-On Saturday
night, the residence Of Mr.. GRgESMAS,
about fourteen miles west of here, was Wis
tied by huge bear, who deliberately
placed his fore paws on the window sill
of Mr.. G's bedroom, awaking him from
his slumbers. Surprising the animal to
to drive it away, when he again met Bruin,
and having no other weapon than jack
plane, he threw it at him. The bear ap
parently decamped, but the loss Of three
fine shoats in the morning assured Mr.. q
that his pig pen had also been examined by
his visitor.
