A Toad Six THOUSAND YEARS OLD.-In
the course of the excavation now carried on
in England, under the superintendency of
Mr.. James Yale, at Dyke House Quarry, in
connection with the Hartlepool water works,
the men recently found toad in block of
magnetism limestone stratum, at depth of
twenty five feet from the earth's surface,
and eight feet from any spring water vein.
The block of stone had been cut by a wedge,
and was being reduced by workmen, when q
pick split open the cavity in which the toad
had been incarcerated. The cavity was no
longer than the animals body, and presented
the appearance of being an exact case of it.
The eyes of the singular stranger shown with
unusual brilliancy, and it was full of vivac-
ity on its liberation. 1t appeared when first
discovered. desirous to perform the process
of respiration, but evidently experienced
some difficulty, as the only sign of success
was a " barking noise it continued to make
on being touched. The toad is in the
possession of Mr.. S. Horney, the Vice Pres.
ldent OF the National Historical Society, and
continues in as lively state as when found.
The Rev. r. Taylor, incumbent of st.
Hilda's Church, Hartlepool, who is an EN-.
lnent local geologist, gives it as his opinion
that the animal must be at least six thou
sand years old. The wonderful toad is to be
placed in its primary habitation, and will be
added to the collection at the Hartlepool
museum.
