ment. Now he says his veneration for the higb
antiquity of the Onondaga giant is fast waning

uIon the erect OF water on gypsum, which is the
stone or which this Cardiff humbug is built, He
nhds the loss OF weight to be rapid and easily
ascertained. '
This "stun lngin" is in a fair way to be ex
posed, and then one of the stupendOus sells and
swindles OF the age viii be brought out to the
nght. we are informed by gentleman who
knows, that this giant was made in CHICAGO,
and was brought by water 20 Onondaga County
a year ago, and deposited after dark in the spct
where 1t was found. The management of the
affair has been very shrewd, and, as Dr. Boyn-
ton says, he will make fun report Of the entire
history, proceedings, discovery, resurrection,
and journey Of the giant to its present resting,
