Frog story

Frog Story
We learn that certified frog passed through
the furnace of enc Of the lime kilns near this
place, few days since. II was evidently en-
bedded in lump of limestone that was TN own
up, and was net discovered until it fell down
with the lime.
This suggests some reflections and inquiries
we not able to answer. Frogs and other
aquatic ANNA is have been often found embed
ded in free stone, and sometimes alive, but
this stone is bat petrited sand; but the lime
stone is of hard substance, ard has been con-
sidered an original formation
The question, then is, if the limestone rocks
are now as they were originally made, this
frog must have been on hand when the earth
was made. and when the almighty fat went
forth to weigh the mountains in the scales
and the hills in a balance" But this will not
do, because the earth was made and all imam
innate things belonging to it before the living
creatures that are upon it were created. The
conclusion, then, is that the limestone grows,
and at some past period of the world it en-.
compassed this freq. which now appears in a
petrifed state.
But another curious feature is here pre-
scented. Although this frog is evidently stone,
1t is not limestone, else il would have been re
duced to lime, like its hose, in passing thro
the fre
We can't tell whether this frog emigraed
from Egypt or not, or whether its ancestors
were among those that Moses, by the command
Of his God sent up into the kneading troughs
OF the Egytians.
All these questions must remain unanswered
for rhe present. at least, until the assembling
OF Congress, when Butter can raise a commit
tee to take the subject under advisement,-
