A Fossil Ginnt.

remarkable discovery has been made in
the town OF Lafayette, in this county--a hui
man form OF huge proportions, entirely petri-
fed, was found under the following circum-
stances: About twelve miles south of Syra.
Cuse, near Cardiff, lives q farmer named
William Newell Yesterday afternoon, in
company with hired man. he began to dig
well in a meadow in the rear of his barn.
About two and half feet below the surface
they struck upon what they supposed to be a
large stone, and Mr.. N. went for crow-bar
to remove it, Before he returned however,
his man had uncovered two large stony feet
and legs. Continuing their digging, they
brought to light the perfect figure of man
of more than giant size, and as solid as though
chiseled out of the rocks of Onondaga Some
conception Of the sensation it has produced
here may be formed when give you few Of
the actual measurements The total length
from the top of the head to the lower surface
of the instep, is ten feet two and half inches;
across the shoulders the width is three feet :
across the palm of the hand, seven inches
the large finger is eight inches long; the thigh
is twelve inches, and the leg below the knee
nine and half inches in thickness The
figure was found lying on the right side, one
hand placed upon the abdomen, the other up
on the back, and the left leg thrown across
the right. The resemblance is complete The
form itself is complete. Everything is there
the wrinkles about the eyes, the Adams APP
pie in the neck, the full veins, the prominent
vessels and bones, the natural swell of each
rib and the clearly defined nails, both OF the
hands and feet. The face and features were
decidedly Caucasian. May it not be statue z
The decided opinion of nearly every person
who has seen it-and it has been visited to-
day by some of the most highly educated and
intelligent people of the city--is that its per-
fiction, the material OF which it is composed,
and the place in which it was found, are
against this hypothesis. 1t seems to be com
posed Of soft, grayish limestone, with which
the region abounds. As may be supposed,
spectators are already on hand, sums reach
ing into the tens of thousands having been
offered for the figure.
Since writing the above, ! learn that DR.. j.
F. Boynton, the well known geoogist and
lecturer of this city, has visited the spot, and
nclines to the opinion that the gigantic fig
ure is statue. The theory, however, leaves
the matter in almost as great mystery as the
other.-Despatcht TO tie Ne,c York 1ribune

Information.


Mark Twain. who is sitting quietly IN tne
sf;ce of the Buffalo Express and writing letters
of travel, gives the following account OF Cali
forgia wonder:
"Mono Lake, or the Dead Sea of California, 10
one of her most extraordinary curiosities; but
beiug situated in q very out-of-the-way corner OF
the country, and away up among the eternal
snows of the Sierras it is little known and very
seldom visited. A mining excitement carried
me there once, and l spent several days in its
vicinity. 1t lies in lfeless, treelsss, hideous
DESERT 900 feet above the level of the sea, and
Il guarded by mountains 1000 feet higher,
whose SUBMITS are hidden always in the clouds.
This solemn, silent, sailless sea-this lonely ten
ant of the loneliest spot earth-is little graced
with the picturesque. 1t is an unpretending ex-
panse of greyish water, about hundred miles in
circumference with two islands in its center,
mere upheavals of rent and scorched and blister
ed lava, showed over with grey banks and drifts
of pumice stone and ashes, the winding sheet of
the dead volcano, whose vast crater the lake has
seized upon and occupied.
The lake is two hundred feet deep, and its
sluggish waters are so strong with alkaG that if
you only dip the most hopelessly soiled garment
into them once or twice, and wiring it out, it will
be found as clean as if it had been through our
ablest washerwomans hands. While we camped
there our laundry work was easy. We tied the
weeks Washing aSCern or our BOAT, ana sailed a
quarter of q mile, and the job was complete, all
to the wringing out If we threw the water on
our heads and gave them rub or so, the lather
would pile up three inches high. Thi, water is
not good for bruised places and abrasons Of the
skin. We had valuable dog. He had raw
places on him. He had more raw places on him
than sound ones. He was the rawest dog
almost ever saw. He jumped overheard one day
to get away from the flies But it was bad judy
ment. In his condition it would have been Just
as uncomfortable to jump into the fire. The
alkali water nipped him in all the raw places
simultaneously, and he struck out for the shore
with considerable interest. He yelped and bark
ed and howled as he went-and by the time he
got to the shore there was no bark to hin-for
he had barked the Dark all out of his inside and
the alkali water had cleaned the bark all off his
outside, and he probably wished he had never
embarked in any such enterprise. He ran round
and round in u circle, and paved the earth and
clawod the air, and threw double somersaults
sometimes backward and sometimes forward, in
the most frantic and extraordinary manner
He not demonstrative dog, as a general
thing, but rather of grave and serious turn of
mind and l never saw him take SO much inter-
est in anything before. He finally strrck out
over the mountains, at a'gait which we estimated
at about two hundred and fifty miles an hour,
and he is going yet This was about five years
ago. We look for what is left of HIM along here
every day"

How MANY TRA1Ns.-Ike Bromley tells the
following story of Pacific railroad experiences
in the Hartford Post: E
For the present shall drop the Pacific
road recurring to it by and by for the pur.
pose OF comparison between the journey to
California overland and the voyage thither BY
sea. But before dismissing let me tell you q
problem with which we narrowed up our souls
on the way. ---- ....-
Suppose" said the Governor (Hawley,)
there is one train day each way over the
Pacific road-we start from Omaha and are
five days on the passage-how many trains do
we pass OH the way I" '
Kellogg trumped his partners trick, and
answered very promptly, "Five.' q4l 20
Scudder in thoughtful way played the left
bower and remarked: "Let's see; twould be
six, wouldn't ito Oh no, four"
"Why, five of course-that's plain enough,
said Edgar Welles, gathering up the cards for
new deal. | hcs
Charley and Frank set to work to figure it
out by algebra, and came very near proving
that we didn't pass any at all, Ike was put
ting hard questions to a Mormon passenger,
and /, not being strong on mathematics, was
sticking like brother to Sam. Bowles' "Pa-
cific Railroad Open" and taking no hand in
the ciphering. gits
Hold on" said Kellogg; was wrong-its
six; for there is the one that starts out from
Sacramento the same morning that--no, it
don't-yes, it does--why, it must be five, of
course-I pass"
some train a day, five days, makes five
trains, of course. That's my trick" said
Welles.
"Well, don't know about that" said Scud-
der; 'we've passed two trains to-day" ~
Then they went to work at it, and mulled
over it, and ciphered on it, till finally in reply
to somebody's swell, how many trains do we
pass p the Governor said ''Ten.' ysb 's'sl'
AT first they didn't believe it, but when it
was explained, it seemed just as easy as it was
for those old mugwumps in Spain TO set the
eggs on end, after Columbus had shown how.
