BONES OF AN UNKNOWN ANINAL.-A gem
tleman in blasting a rock in a sink hole about
a mile from McGaheysville, in Rockingham
county, for the purpose of getting water made
an opening which admitted his entrance into a
cavern, in which he found the skull and leg
bone of an animal which belonged to Il species
which is now extinct in this country, and
which, it is supposed, does not exist at this
period in any country on the globe. 1t be
longed possibly to species which existed at
that remote geological period when this lovely
valley, now teemng with population, was
covered with the waters of a vast ocean. The
size of the skull and leg bone shows that twas
a large anima and the articulatons of the leg
bone indicate that that limb was not thrown
directly forward, as is the case with land
quadrupeds, but that it was used ateraly,
after the manner of the creeping monsters of
the deep The latter part of the head is very
long propOrtionably -has an elevated process
in the direction of its length-and seems to
have been covered with a very thick skin, like
that Of a crocodile. But the character OF lis
teeth, and the fact that it had tusks inserted in
the same manner and locality as that which
characterize the elephant, negative the idea
OF It's belonging to the alligator or crocodile
species. To what species the animal be-
longed, at which period it lived, and how it
got into cavern, the entrance to which, before
1t was increased by a blast, would not admit
the body of a boy, are questions which stand
for answers.

A LEAD BALL FOUND IN A MANS HEART
EIGHTEEN YEARS AFTER HE WAS sHor.-On
Friday, June Is, 1860, we made post norton
examination upon the body of Mr. John Kelly,
who resided at the time of his death, in the
town of Black Brook
In June, 1872, he was accidentally shot at
Chatham -Four Corners, a place on the western
railroad about twenty-five miles east of AL
bany. The buAet passed through three boards
before striking him; itentercd his right shout.
der, passed towards the heart and lodged UNI
der the collar bone, near where it is united to
the breast bone. This is substantatcd by the
amount OF disease found at this place, and the
farther tact that the surgeon passed his probe
IN about four or five inches before reaching the
ball. We found one of the veins closed and
the artery ossifed at this place
We then examined the heart and found it to
resemble stomach as much as heart The
right side, especially, was very much CHARGED
and seemed to be undergoing fatty degenera-
ton.
While examining The heart we found hard
lump in the lower part OF it, We introduced
our finger into the right cavity of the heart and
found the lump to be in the substance of that
organ; we then cut from the outside down on
to the lump, and found it to be a eaden bullet
Now the question arises, how long has the
ball been in that mans heart Fourteen years
ago he was very dangerously ill, and was at
tended by DR. Terry, who did not expect his
recovery. His difficulty at that time was in.
fiammation of the lungs and most extraordi.
nary disturbance Of the hearts action. Since
that illness, his heart difficulty has continued
to increase gradually; at times its beatings
could be observed ten or fifteen feet distant
Our theory is, that this ball remained in the
vein where it was lodged until fourteen years
ago, when it passed into larger vein and
thence into the heart, and there irritating that
delicate organ by its unnatural presence, caused
the difficulty then for the first time observed.
Ton days before his death he took severe
cold, resulting in an Inflammation Of the lungs
and an agsravation of all the symptoms of
disease of the heart, which continued unabat-
ed until the messenger Of death relieved him
of his earthly suferings.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALEs.-Lord
John Russell has written letter to Mayor
Wood accepting in behalf of the Prince of
Wales the invitation extended to him by the
city of New York to visit that city during his
approaching visit to this country. The prince
on leaving the British soil "will lay aside all
royal state, and exchange his title, as he has
done on former journeys TO foreign countries,
for that of Lord Renfrew. While thus diSpen-
sing with any ceremony which might be in
convenient to the communities " hich he hopes
to visit, he trusts to be enabled, as private
gentleman, to employ the small amount of
time at his disposal in the study of the most
interesting objects in the United States, and
of the ordinary life of the American people"
This may be taken gentle and sensible
hint that he doesn't wish to be ionized.

The republican constituency of Hon. Alex
ander H. Rice in the fourth district gave him
an enthusiastic and worthy reception in Rox-
bury, Tuesday evening. In addressing the
audience, Mr.. Rice spoke with high and conf
dent hope of the early triumph of the republi.
can party. The meeting was also addressed
by his excellency Gov. Banks, by John L..
Swift of Roxbury, and others. 1t had been
arranged to have torchlight procession at the
close, which was prevented by the storm.
President Buchanan was serenaded, Monday
evening, by some Of his remaining friends, in
response to Which he expressed his gratifica
ton in the nomination of Breckenridge and
Lane, and added that though his position rem.
dered it improper for him to participate in the
canvass, his heart would be in it, He also
spoke of this as probably the last political
speech he would ever make--whch is a hope
full sign
The republicans of Watertown held ratf-
cation meeting, Tuesday evening, which was
addressed by Senator Wilson. He predicted
with great confidence the,certanty of a repub-
lican triumph, expressing the opinion that the
only real contest is to be between Breckenridge
and Lincoln, and that Douglas could receive
no electoral votes.
The American state convention of Alaba-
ma, which met at Montgomery on the I'd inst,
gave in its adhesion to Breckenridge and Lane,
inasmuch as they are the only candidates
nominated who stand fair on "the principle of
protection for slave property in the territories
The flight Of the politicians from the sup.

MURDER OF CHILD OF SIX YEARS BY A
Boy OF FIFTEEN.-In Chatham, &. W., few
days ago, boy of fifteen years, named Alfred
Lot, son OF respectable farmer of that vicin
ity, was arrested, charged with the muir.
der of son of Mr.. Howard of Romnev aged
six years. 1t seems that Lot went to The mas.
ture to look for the cows, and that VIM. How
ard followed him, at which Lot became Offend
ed, and told him not to follow him any longer
At this time Lot was sitting on the fence.
The little fellow did not heed what Lot had
told him, and got over or through the fence
and continued TO follow Lot. They had not
gone far when Lot picked up hickory grub,
as 1t is termed-a good sized sticl-and with
one blow struck the little fellow to the ground.
This was the only blow that was given, but it
was sufficient to crack the skull and complete
y break in the left side of his forehead over
the eye, so that the doctor was readily able TO
pick out Of the brain several pieces of bone
that had been driven in upon it. OF course
death was instantaneous. After the murder
it seems that Lot left his victim in the field
but in short time came back and dragged or
carried the body some distance, aud deposited
it under the tree top and brush where it was
subsequently found. lot has confessed the
crime.

POLAR DANGERs.-Much has been said of
the risks to be incurred by Hayes and his par
ty, recently sailed for the pole; in fact, our
whalers undergo more risk each year than he,
so far as marine risk is concerned. The latter
are not eaten up by the Esqui aux land
sharks, but whale have run into such ATTITUDES
of late years as to give our vessels a taste of
floating ice, and plenty of them have had
holes knocked in their sides. Hayes and his
craft only had to run through the ice and
make berth ashore. His danger is from the
failure of food scuryy and the awful effect
which the absence of the sun light produces
on human beings, when like vegetables under
barrels, they get banched. The polar cold
can be endured for about two seasons by ordi.
nary explorers after this the body loses its

WHERE ARE They ?-The change which
has taken place in the policy OF the champions
of democracy, is very noticeable and very pre-
missing, When the republican party began to
aspire to the fortune which is now within its
grasp, the assurance of its opponents was that
its success would be the signal of disunion.
Active measures were threatened, and specific
and well defined schemes were devised and
avowed, for breaking up the confederacy when
the moment came for the Inauguration of
republican president Whether it is due to
the prevalence of higher style of patriotism,
or to the peculiar and unforeseen exigencies of
the cOntendng parties, is not precisely deter
mined; but the fact remains that the noisy
architects of treason in the democratic party
have mysteriously disappeared. They left
their homes a little while before the Charleston
convention broke up, and have not since
been heard from. 1t is the more remark
able that no anxiety has been expressed for
their loss, and no steps taken for their recov-
cry. 1t is not improbable, under existing cir
cumstances, that the election of republican
president at the expense of either faction of
the democratic family will be received with
complacency by the other, and that his inaug-
uration will be regarded with satisfaction by
both The probability Of such a result is
foreshadowed in the early and effectual fight
of the disunionists who made such "hulla-
balloo" in 1856, and during the first two or
three months of this wear Such WILLINGNESS
to acquiesce in whatever may happen has not
been witnessed since the era of good feeling
departed.

EXPOSURE OF A DISHONEST "MEDIUM."-
The spiritualists of Milford have been consid
erably excited during the past week, by the
exposure of "test medium" who had been
performing marvellous feats in that town. The
circle was held at the house Of Mr.. John G.
Gilbert, and large number of his friends
were present by inyitation-al of them being
spritualists but one. 1t appears that the me-
dunn had not been entirely above suspicion,
and Mr.. and Mrs. L. NJ Marshall went bre.
pared to put her honesty to strict and infalli.
Bile test. The room was thoroughly darkened,
the imposition of hands upon the table was
made in the usual manner, and the visitors
were properly cautioned against breaking the
circle by the removal Of hands or otherwise.
In due season the spirit of cred Jacket made
his appearance and commenced playing upon
the guitar, the drum and such instruments as
had been provided. In the midst of this mys.
FERROUS music, Mrs Marshall lighted her fluid
lamp, when to the astonishment of most of
those present, the guitar was discovered in the
hands of the medium, who had risen from her
seat, and was reaching down the table to the
full extent of her right arm, for the purpose
of giving some especia. mystery to her per.
formances. The illumination was thunder
bolt thrown among them The medium ex-
claimed 40 that light" threw the instru.
ment wildly over her head, and fell into the
arms Of her neighbor. Fierce discussion at
once arose in the circle, in the course of which
the decetful girl quietly left the company.
Mr.. Marshall publishes a somewhat emphatic
statement of the imposture, trusting it may
serve the cause of truth aud good morals.
