Remarkable Discovery in Talbot Co.

This peninsula does not intend to be behind
the rest of the world. It now has doubtless
brought forth the fossil remains of a Mastodon
or Megatherium. It is Talbot county which has
had the honor of making this contribution, and
we gather from the Easton Journal, of August
12th, the following mesgrc details. It says:

"Mr. Lambert P. Kirby, on Monday last, ex-
humed the skeleton of a very large animal while
digging for marl on his farm in Oxford Neck.
The skeleton was buried some four feet under
ground. The hands while taking out marl found
one of the bones, which Mr. Kirby noticed, and
went to work to find the remainder of the mon-
ster's frame. He succeeded in finding the bones
of the head, and two tusks some eight feet long,
a number of ribs and some of the smaller bones.
These all indicate an animal of monstrous size.
Most of those who have seen it, pronounce it the
skeleton of an elephant. If so, it is the largest
ever seen. Mr. Kirby brought the bones to town,
and they may now be seen at the Drug store of
Levin H. Campbell, Esq.
