One OF the most Singular aud Wonder-

dspth Of ore hundred aud eighty feet,
while the miners we're cutting u,sough
a-sIate stone. they discovered the pelri
6sd body Of q serpent. We examined
this pelrTicaiion, and can say, with
truth, thatfitis the finest specimen we
ever saw. Unfortunately il was broken
into three pieces, and piece from Near
the center ia mistiog-perbNps thrown
out in silver Of stone. A limb has ev.
idently fallen across the serpent about
eight lien inches from The head, and
mashed The part underneath fat, and,
strange to say, even this thin part vas
formed into solid stone. and was taken
out perfect. The wrinkles in the body
Of tho serpent, in lis writhiOgs as if to
extricsts itself from the stick that fell
across il, we're IS perfect and natural
as the day when the affair took place.
The head ia shaped like that Of an eel,
and the tail from iodicat ions, must have
been supplied with a broad I'm, ors fat,
aashy snbstepce,, asa propeller. The
eyes and mouth ca8sb iaiihettY tfGeeUs
while The body is covered With small
,sunken spots, similar TO those on % hog

This specimen is Eve feet three inches
