THE WONDERS or NATURE-For want of a more appropriate, we give this name to the bones that have been lately dug up at Big Bone Lick, Boone county, Kentucky. We

 have seen two skeletons of the mammoth, the

 skeleton of the whale, and the elephant, be- sides numerous living whales, and number of living elephants; but the sight of neither of them created any of those sensations of the mind which we felt at beholdng these

 wonderful productions of nature. To reflect, for moment, upon the appearance of liv- ing animal, which, from the skeleton, isprov-

 ed to have been at least sixty feet in length,

 upwards oftwenty-twoin in heighth, and twelve across the hips; the upper bone of whose head weighs SIX hundred, and grinders eleven

 pounds each, and this after having undergone the decay of many centuries-must fill the mind with astonishment and reverence for that being, who said "let there be light, and there was light" This animal as much sur passed the mammoth in size as the elephant does the OK, and was of the carniyerous species.

 With the bones of this nondescript were found the bones of several other animals, some of which were of the herbaceous spe- cies, as is proved by their teeth, of which there are number; and to add to the singu- larity of the discovery of these bones, amongst them are two of the foot of the horse, which those skilled in comparative anatomy pro- nounce a third larger than those of the pre- sent race of horses. The peculiarity of this circumstance consists in the fact, that horses were not known on this continent at the time of it's discovery by Columbus nor was there any tradition among the Indians of such an animal ever having existed. We shall con- clude our remarks upon the subject by stating. the bones were found embedded in black mud, upwards of twenty feet below the surface The first eighteen inchesis alluvial, then yell low clay to the depth of twelve or fifteen feet. and then the black mud in which the bones were contained. The proprietor has brought large quantity of them to this city, among which are the head and tusks of the nonde- script, the latter measuring twelve feet in length; it being impossible to erect the entire skeleton without a building for the purpose. He intends taking them from this to New York, and from thence to Europe.
