Bro BONES OF Bro BEASTS VIM.
j. Davis, President of tho Ohio Falls
Geological Society, yesterday received from
q brother in Charleston, 8. c., box of
Of fossil bones from tho "phosphato beds"
on tho Carolina coast. Tho box contained
tho teeth and bones of sharks and walruscs,
aud few vertebrtc of tho extinct American
elephant, or Elephas An,cricanus.
Among these is hugo ocrvical vertcbra,
from Battery River, near Beaufort S. 9.
1t measures ten inches in length and twon-
ty-nino and one half inchos 10 circumfor.
enco. AS it it is ono of tho twenty four
bones in the vcrtebra column, the animal
was probably twenty-fcet long, not inclu-
ding his head; or, including tho head,
twenty five feet long, about nineteen feet
high. The largest of modern Indian clc-
plants is about twelve feet high and sixteen
tcct long. Tho weight of the animal who
once twisted his head by means of this
pondorous bone and others like it may bo
estimated at about $4,000 pounds;
that is, if ho was not in prime killing or.
der, but merely had enough flesh to be
comfortable. The bones Of the immense
deposited, gcologsts say, during the latter
Champlain or carly Terrace epooh of tho
quaternary period.
In Mr.. Davis's collection is also tooth
of the oar-charidon mogalcdor, or fossil
shark, five and half inches long by four
and throo quarter inches broad. It is hard
and heavy as iron, with tho enamel still in
perfect preservation. The guinea or white
shark, is the modern representative of this
genious, and attains to tho length Of thirty
five feet. This, is tho largest of modern
sharks, has tooth two aud ono quarter
inches long by one and three quarcr
inches broad. If the original posscssor of
tho fossil tooth referred TO had body of
size proportionate to that of his tooth he must
have exceeded one hundred in length, and
have had thickness through his shoulders
Of at least lltocn feet. Tho weight Of the
tits impossible to conjcctuso. These two
bencs-tho oloyhants vcrtebra and tho
sharks tooth-arc probably tho largest of
the kind in existence Courier Journal.

A SHOWER OF BUas.-Thore have been
in other places showers of frogs, fish and
flesh, but it remained for Wake to como to
the front with shower of bugs. A gen.
tlcman living about thrco miles South of
the city stepped to the door of his house
about daybroak yesterday, aud was startled
to sec the mir filled with objects descending
in showers, but softly and lightly, like
snow flakes. lie stopped down, and saw
that they wcro bugs, of dull gray color,
aud little less in size than a grain OF
corn. They fell thicky, and as soon as
they struck the ground began to crawl
about in very sprighty manner. They
fell on the house, in the yard everywhere,
and it really looked like plaguc of insects
a brisk breeze was blowing at the time
from tho East, aud this scomcd to have
borne tho insects with it. They contin-
ued to fall steadily but slowly from day
break until tho sun rose, and then the
shower ceased. Tho poultry mado good
use of the feast spread before them, and
gathered in as many of the bugs as thcy
could. Tho gentleman who observed the
phenomenon says that ho has known tho
same thing to occur before, but the shove,
did not continue quito so long time.
Within tho space of few yards there
were hundreds perhaps thousands of the
insects. Ralciyh OJscrocr.

PETERSBURG, April 17.-Thc forest fires
which have been raging in this vicinity for tho
past week have become uncomfortable. Tho
flames and smoke nro plainly visible here
Barns and stables in large numbers have been
destroyed; in many instances farmers hare lost
nli their crops. Horses, farming implements
and number of cabins have been burned, tho
occupants barely escaping with their lives
The destruction of cord wood and timber is
immense. In Prince George County the fire
has been very destructive, invading orchards
and destroying hundreds of fruit trees. 1t is
feared that unless heavy and carly rain
occurs, the fro will destroy tho railroad bridges
and telegraph poles, thereby impeding travel
and cutting off tclcgraphic communications.
NORFOLK, April lS.--rass cngcra report
destructive fires along the line of tho railroad
from l.ynchburg to Norfolk. Several dwellings
have been burned in Appomattox County, and
Two houses at Nottawny Court House. Extcn-
sivo fires arc cnging in Dismal Swamp, and
have destroyed large amounts Of timber, cut
wood and lumber. Every effort is being mndo
TO prevent The flames from making hcadway.
The weather is dry and windy, and trucking

From Truckee to the west of the sum

nine hours. Passengers who arrived

eral route of the old Battle Mountain

are enthusiastic for railway. The
absolute route has not been determined
upon. Messrs. Bates, Latham, Graham

And I'm told, he sraoked gratis the finest cigars

He wishing to smoke, was hard up for light;
When glorious sight on his optics did burst,
For, behold he met Emperor Norton the First

SO he simply said: emperor, give US matchr'
But his Majesty had none, so he said: 'As a
