ECCENTRIC BURIALS.

Squire WatertOn, the well-known author of the
" Wanderlngs," Catholic in the midst OF Protes'
tants had, believe, small mausOleum cOnsscrated
for himself and his wife in his own park at Walton
Hall, Yorkshire. There was a touching story, too,
which heard within a few days of his burial, OF a
flight of the birds he had fondly protected all his
life following the coTtege as his body was borne by
water 10 this resting place

a most singular instance of eccentric burial she

the meteorological expedition to the mouth or

ANCIENT BIRD TRACKS.

Mr. Elias Mason, writing to The Boston
r-1reller. describes a visit paid to the SAND
.,one 01larry at Turner'S Falls. Massachusetts,,
where wOrkmen are now engaged III eXcaVaung
the bird tracks that have made the quarry geo
iooically famous The ledge is on the right
hank Of the Connecticut river, above the falls,
and in the town of Gill. Ii rises some thirty
or forty feet above the river, and consists OF
Thin laInipe of d dark -cOinred and somewhat
brittle sandstone. On the faces OF the slabs
are found the tracks, depressed and In relief.
They are in general clear-cut ana very DIS
tinct The utmost care Is taken not 10 break
the tracks in blasting. and every fragment Of
the rock having an impression is carefully pre-
served Some very fine specimens have re-
Gently been brought to light. One OF them mas
tracks of an enormous animal, i've feet apart,
and the tracks themselves (thTee-tOed) are
fifteen inches long. An animal making such
tracks must have been, according 10 Professor
Huxley, whOvisited this quarry, some twenty five
or thirty feet in height. Mr. Mason was per
mtted to take with him several beautiful specl-
mems one of which exhibits the delicate ira
Gerry of the feet of an insect escaping over the
soft mud another exhibits the Tlpples OF the
wave, another the drOps of rain, and others
have well-detined imprints OF the tracks OF
birds. He also saw the impressions OF
several kinds OF ferns and grasses. Mr.. slough
ton who is working this geological mine, cor
siders some of the largest slabs to be worth
from $500 to 81 900; but the cost OF eXcayat-
ing them is heavy.
This whole region is supposed to have been
originally covered by the sea. As the waves
receded birds and Quadrupeds whose species
are extinct left the impressions Of their feet
upon the mud, which, hardening into stone, has
held them through the ages for the examination
of the scientists of the present day Compared
with these tracks as TO age, the pyramids OF
Egypt are but as OF yesterday.
