AN ANTEDILUVIAN WORLD.

—Mr. O. Tuttle, of the town of Seneca, Lenawee Co., Mich., had on exhibition at the late county fair in this place, the bones and horns, or tusks, of an enormous animal. Mr. Tuttle was deepening the bed of a creek on his farm, when on the 28th of last month he found these bones about seven feet under a mucky soil, lying on a hard clay bottom. The horns were nearly nine feet in length, and seven inches in diameter at the base, weighing 150 pounds each, and about one-half of the horn from the tip was apparently as sound as when exhibited by its original proprietor hundreds of years ago. Mr. T. exhibited sound and perfect rib bones found with the horns measuring nine feet in length, and the teeth and other bones in proportion. The horns and bones found, it is said by those competent of estimating their proportions, indicate that they belong to some monster animal fifteen or eighteen feet in height, and twenty-five or thirty feet girth. The bones are no humbug or manufactured articles, but genuine and perfect in form and material.—Hillsdale Standard.
