Rare ahecimea of American Aatiquity- Extract of letter from Benjamin Harding Esq. to Dr Mitchell, dated Missouri, March 16th, 1881:

 Respected Sir-Permit me to commune with you on the subject of natural Ameri- Can relic of antiquity. ltis the skeleton of an individual of the human race, measuring nearly ten feet in length, which l have disco yered in the Western country. Should you think it worthy of place among the rarities of the land, be pleased to inform me.

 Having read in the public prints of the last year an offer by one of the learned societies. believe the Geographical, ofPars in France of 400 francs, for the greatest remnant of American antiquity, it is thought by many gentlemen that this would be entitled to it. Your opinion on the subject would be very de- sirable. Yours, with high consideration.

 BENJAMIN HARDING.
