The Horse Found to be Indigenous to
the American Continent

The New York Tribune recently gave
synopsis of the geological researches
of Prof. Marsh, of Yale College, in
Wyoming and Utah Territories. The
Professors chief object has been to as
certain if the horse did not exist on this
continent prior to its introduction by
the Spaniards, after the discovery of
America by Columbus. In this object
Prof. Marsh has been successful. He
finds that far back In the mutations of
the earth's development, in what is
called the eocene period, the horse was
indigenous TO this continent. First, in
point of time, he finds the remains of
the orohippus, or mountain horse, with
a skeleton scarcely larger than that of
the fox, with four toes on his fore, and
three on his hind feet, all Of which
reached the ground.
Next, after the lapse of ages, and in
the miocene period, appears the mio-
hippus, with skeleton as large as that
of sheep, and with three toes on every
foot, all reaching the ground. AT this
epoch there also appears variety of
the horse called the anchitherium, with
the two outer toes on each foot much
smaller than those of the miohippus.
Next, and in the pliocene formation
which is next above the miocene-comes
a development of the horse with a skel-
eton about equal to that of the ass.
There are several varieties of the horse
in this period, most of which have three
toes before and behind. In no case,
however, do the outer toes touch the
ground, but they are like the posterior
hoohets of the modern deer and OK.
There is also one variety, in the PHO
Gene period, which has deep depres-
sion of the skull under the eye, and but
one toe-that is, its foot is like that OF
the modern horse. Lastly, at the very
top of the pliocene formation, and just
where it is passing into the quaternary,
or last stratum of the earth's develop
ment, the bones of the true or modern
horse are for the first time found. The
fossils discovered by Prof. Marsh show
that the horse of that period equaled
the modern horse in size, and In some
cases surpassed it.
These are exceedingly interesting dis
coveries, and indicate an orderly pro
erosion of development of the horse, as
it now exists, from a primitive type
closely allied to animals of an inferior
Oenus

Men Without Hearts.

We sometimes meet with men who
seem to think that any Indulgence in an
affectionate feeling is weakness. They
will return from a journey, and greet
their families with q distant dignity,
and move among their children with the
cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg
surrounded by its fragments. There is
hardly more unnatural sight on earth
than one of these fathers without a
heart. Who that has experienced the
joys of friendship, would be robbed of
the hidden treasure of his heart and
values sympathy and affection, would
not rather lose all that is beautiful in
natures scenery? Cherish, then, your
hearts best affections. Indulge in the
warm and gushing emotions Of filial,
paternal and fraternal love.

The Delaware railroad, says Max Ade-
Ter, runs right through Pcabody's farm,
just below our village, and close to tho
track there is kind Of mud hole. Into
this one of Peabody's horses fell and de-
fed every effort that could be made to get
him out. While Peabody was working
at the job, freight train ran in upon the
siding and stopped to shift some empty
cars The engineer noticed Peabody's
trouble and finally offered to pull the
horse out with the locomotive if Peabody
would give him five dollars. Peabody
gladly consented; and the engineer got
down for the purpose of fastening rope
under the horses belly. Just as he COM
pleted this job, the fireman, grcenhorn,
got meddling with the starting bar, and
the engine suddenly gave jerk and be-
gan to- move off. In less than a minute
that iron steed was proceeding down the
Delaware peninsula at the rate of milo

without hesitation pronounced II human

fed, the country aroused, the tracks Of
the mule followed, and every means taken
to reach the scene Of murder. The broken
bride Of the mule was found, near the
road-side, thrown oyera fence into field,
and the search became hot. as an approach
TO the solution Of the dreadful mystery
seemed about 10 be reached.

titled the bloody beast rs hisown, aud up

the thief To expedite his flight.
