three-weeks mystery was solved to
day by a party of hunters finding a
female corpse under a tree, TO which

spent an hour on so in that way, Mrs.
Gensberg told the children TO remain
where they We're until she returned.
The little ones staid until nightfall
and then made their way home.

missing woman, who, 1t was feared,
had met with an accident or had been
attacked by wild beasts. The search
has been kept up constantly, since all

able to trace her, it was concluded
that her mind had become suddenly

Scouting parties went out in all d.
rections. When found, the remains
were lying under tree, in an adyanc-
ed state of decomposition. Around
the neck was a cord made Of strips Of

suspended herself from the tree over
head. The remains were in such a
state that identification by the fea-
lures was impossible but a diamond
ring on her finger and her peculiarly
made shoes satisfied her husband

RELICS OF PAST AGES.
Traces of Enormous Animals Found
in IA Connecticut FreesIOne Quarry.
From The Hartford Times


4 vessel Just arrived at the dock
foot of Potter street with a load oi
heavy stone blocks taken from the
Portland freestone quarry, has among
the cargo some remarkable specimen,
of the tracks of fossil beasts and birds
that once lived in this valley. These
slabs were taken from a stratum
about six or seven inches thick, lying
at a depth of about eighty feet from
the top of the quarry. The enormous
skeletons still partly preserved under
many swamps in New York. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and other
States. probably represent a big beast
of the elephant species, which once
roamed the Connecticut valley also.
Here are his tracks in relief. One,
which measures fifteen inches by
eleven, and is larger than the track of
any elephant, shows the impression
of the toes very distinctly and unmis-
takably, and also the reverse repres-
entation of the impressions of the
inner muscular projections of the bot
tom of the huge foot OF these tracks
there are three on a single slab five to
six feet long, and perhaps a yard or
more wide and seven inches thick
They are evidently the tracks of some
huge beast-and one of the elephant
kind. too-and not any mere accident
al formation by other causes. On one
slab in this city, near this creatures
tracks, is a stony heap of his ordure,
known in geology as coprolites.
One slab bears the unmistakeable
tracks of some big three-toed bird
seemingly of the ostrich family.
These tracks are remarkable for be-
ing almost perfectly in a straight line
as if the creature had but one leg; no
Indian could step straighter. The
stride is about a foot and a half
However il may be with some other
supposed fossil bird tracks IN the
Connecticut Valley sandstones. these
certainly are no tracks of the labyrin-
thodon or any other ancient frog
they are bird tracks.
One slab bears the impress, in relief,
of the longitudinal half of tree
trunk, seemingly, according to most
observers. a hickory tree-for its
shaggy bark and its very texture are
wonderfully preserved. The slab was
ten feet long. and bore the cast of the
tree all the way. but this specimen is
but three feet long that part of it
having been cut off at the quarry 1t
was evidently a large, full-grown
tree, possibly floated down the river
from some place over which it cast its
shade in ages, much farther,preceding
the supposed birth of Adam than that
supposed to pedcede modern times

scented. like those given by Mr..
