DISCOVERY OF THE sEMAINS OF
A MASTODON.

we learn from the Goshen Republican
that the MastOdOn bones recently discOv-
cred on the farm of Andrew Mitchell, in
Mount Hope, near 0tisville, Orange county,
n. Y, have nearly all been exhumed COM
plete, and in rare state Of preservation.
a gentleman who saw those already eX
humed, informs us that the top Of the head
is over five feet across, AID that the width
across the head of the pelVis is still greater.
The channel for the spinal marrow is larger
than a mans arm, and one Of the leg bones
is said to weigh $50 pounds. The stipend
Ous size of this antediluviau monster can
as yet be oily estimated; but our infor-
mant, Mr.. Peter Is. GuIaaer, says that this
animal must have been as much greater in
size than an elephant as the latter is
greater than a sheep. The geological prof
erssor Ths reconstructed the mastOdOn now
set up in Boston, visited the newly discOv-
cred bones short time ago, and reported
this specimen to be the largest ever discOv-
cred.
The wav of the discovery was this: Mr..
Mitchell, a New Yorker, having purchased
a farm near Otisville, set to work TO dig out
and draw upon his upland some black
muck from a 10y spot on his land, and as
he progressed with the work mari was dis
covered, and this prompted him to get out
larger quantities of the fertilizer. AT a
depth of fourteen feet from the surface,
these maStodOn remains were discovered.
The digging had been carefully conducted,
and eXcep5 q delay on account of accUmu-
lating water, which is now pumped out by
horse power, the work has progressed I'M
interTuptedly for about three weeks. Mr..
Mitchell has, we learn, refused an offer of
81 800 for the bones.

DANGERFROM BENZINE.

Our lady readers should be informed that
the liquid called benzine, which they use so
freely for removing grease and stains from
clothing, is very dangerous article. 1t is
one Of the substances distilled from petr0-
leum, and is highly volatile, innammable,
and when the vapor is mixed with air, ex-
plOsive. We have frequently been much
alarmed, upon visiting neighbors and friends
in the evening, to observe a phial of this
fluid standing in close proximity with a
lamp, or a gas flame, and the odor pervad-
ing the room. A very small quantity is
capable of doing irrepara5le mischief. The
contents of a fOuT-Ounce phial, if overturned
and vaporiZed, would re0der the air of a
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. explosive; or, if ignited,
a whole family might be seriously burned,
or lose their lives from 1t. Ii should never
be used in the vicinity Of flame; and it is
important to remember that, through the
medium of the escaping vapor, when the
phial is uncorked, fame will leap to it
through a space of several feet. Benzine
is often sold under various fanciful names;
and, therefore, any article procured from
druggists for removing oil or grease flom
fabrics, should be handled with the utmost
caTe.-N. y. Observer. .a f

WAITING.

BY MARY B. DODGE.
Yesterdays cup was trimming,
To its curying rim, with hope;
AS flowers to the bee awaken,
So did the glad hours Ope
With songs of the hearts soft humming,
Full Of deep delight,
As IL crO0ned over happiness coming,
The joy that should come with night;
But 1t blossoms not with the night,
And mute Is the morn with waiting,
Faint fall the bees light wings,
And lower is now the humming
OF the murmuring song she sings.
The passionate prince Of the garden
In the pride of his purple may WOO,
But the queen knows where is the nectar,
And she turns, sweet flower TO you
She waits for ambrosia and you!
Waits for the BOneyed blooming
OF the sweetest blossom of ALL
VIII it open its fragrant petals,
And answer her earnest call?
viii ne come as the shadows lengthen,
Till they fade in the PARKWAY light,
And ill the cup Of tomorrow
With the dew of glad tonight?
VIII he come, waiting heart, tonight

the large amount of 81, 075, 500. The banks
now hold only 81, 139, $50 above the . per
cent. required by law. Stocks opened
strong but declined on the second call, and
the market at the close was very weak with
a marked decline in prices. There was a
general pressure to sell. The Union Pa
cific led the downward movement, declining
