l saw Yesterday at the office OF Drs Bur
nett & Chaffee, in this city, some very inter
esting relics of past creation. They are
portions of the sub-maXillary bone of a mas
todon. which were found some weeks ago in
a lime stone quarry in the neighborhood Ct
Alton, Ill. Except these fragments, no other
portions of the animal could be discovered.
The portions found, however possess extra
ordinary interest They appear to be not
fasilized specimens of an antideluvian race
but the veritable jaw bone and teeth OF the
animal, such as they were during life. the
osseous structure and substance being pre-
served in a very remarkable degree In each
fragment are three molar teeth, the enamel
of which still retains its whiteness and gen
eral characteristics Some of the teeth are
much worn, thus showing that the old rumi-
nant had owned them long time, and had
not omitted to use them while in his posses
sion. The jaw-bone has every appearance
of bone, and for all that can perceive, IS
bone, and not fossil
