Wonderful.—'There was exhibited, a few weeks ago, in a boat at the Mar ket street landing place, Steubenville, the bones ofja non descript animal, one of which is 20 feet in length,8 in width, and weighs upwards of twelve hundred pounds. The back bone is 16 inches in diamelor, and the ribs are 9 feet in length. It is calculated from the size of the bone9, that the animal, when living, must have been fifty feet in length, 20 to 26 feet in width, and about 20 feet in height, and that it must have weighed at least twenty tons. These bones were found near the Mississippi river, in (we believe) Louisiana j and form the greatest natural curiosity that we ever beheld. This animal must have as far transcended the mammoth in size, as the mammoth a common bull dog. Herald.
