Washington at Princeton

CORVALLIS had left all his stores
at Brunswick, and three regiments of
foot aud three companies of horses
at Princeton. Thither then Wash

Princeton and moved with the main
army straight from the town. Mer-
Ger was detached with 300 men TO

rise, and one regiment was already
over the bridge when they saw the

QUEER TRIAL OF AN UNHAPPY

western islands of Scotland the ma
tiveS have some peculiar customs un-
familiar TO the dwellers on the main
land, says London sketch" One
of these, known AS the marriage
test, is practiced in the Island of
st. kilda. where the population bare
ly exceeds one hundred. The desire
among the islanders to increase this
number does not appear to be excep-
tionally strong, and every man be-
fore he is deemed suitable for hus-
band, has to perform al evolution
with no little bodily risk. The st.
Kildans are, of course, adept rock

Enormous Mastodon Tusks

~" '""NioNV OHIOnlClc. n pair
OF mastodon tusks, the largest and
most perfect specimens ever found,
were brought to this city recently on
the whaler Bonanza, and are i'm the
possession of the II. Liebes Company.
They measure l08 inches each in
length on the outer curve, 9l4 inches
IN the inner curve, and / 3 inches in
circumference about two feet from
the base, III inches in the middle.
and II! inches from the point. They
Weigh little over 1913 pounds each,
or an aggregate of 2O7 pounds. The
weight of ordinary tusks is about II
pounds pair, and their market value
from 90 10 so cents pound, accord
ing to the size and clearness of ivory.
The commercial value of these nam
moths is beyond computation. OWING

points of the huge tusks. Two Of
the natives lost their lives before the
tusks were clear of the ice. Oue Of
them stepped back and fell into \

paniOns, one of whom jumped TO his
assistance, and went down into the
sea, never TO nse again. The others
saw that they W, aid share the same
fate, and made no attempt 10 rescue
the two unfortunates. After they
had secured their find the natives re-
turned to the station. The joy of
their success was greater than the
sorrow over the death of their two
companions who perished. Getting
additional men, sleds and dogs, they
went back and brought their treasure
to the station
The enormous size and weight of
these tusks establishes the oft assert
ed theory of the immense animals
which existed in those regions in pre-
historic times. An animal that could
walk about comfortably, carving 2O1
pounds weight in its upper jaw, must
have been of immense bulk and
