RENAREABLE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SPECIMENS:
We Yesterday called into the residence Of
Mr.. A. T. Prentiss, on McGavock street, 10
witness two Of the strangest authropologi-
cal specimens, which ever came under our
observation. They are a negro boy snd
rirl-the former eighteen, and the latter
sixteen wears Of age-aud who are little
more than two feet high. Their heads were
little more than four inches in dismater,
with hair as far down as their foreheads, as
on those of the Champanize, or Gorilla.
The boy cannot speak word, but the girl
can utter q few sentences, OF a very simple
character. They more nearly resemble the
higher order Of quadrlmanna, than any
other human beings we have ever witnessed.
They will be placed on exhibition, on
Tuesiav, al No. S Cherry street, opposite
the Post Office They were raised IN the
vicinity Of Alleusvlle, Ky, and have 81
ready been exhibited throughout q great
portion Of the nortn, with great success.
