Monsters =of.Ancient Times.
About one hundred miles to the sout-east
of Hamilton .is a high;_ plateau of land, con-
taining an a ctensive ` deposit - of marine
shells, and the fossil remains of a large v a•
riety of extinct species of flail. Nit the
curiosity which most challenges the inter-
est and investigation -u€ antiquarians is the
petrified form of what was evidently once
an immense sea monster.. It lies on the
high plateau, in a position giving rise to
the theory that its locale was once a great
shoal, and that the antediluvian leviathian
floundered and perished on its surface as the
water receded. The petrification is per-
fect, and estimated- to weigh about ten tons.
Itpresents a dual appearance—the head and
body that of a humpback shoal, and the ex-
tremities extend into feelers, ,and antennae
like the polypus or devi]frsn, With the ex-
ception that they were evidently during life
lined with a hard and bony substance. The
eyes are set in each side of the head, which
is flat and oblong, and are twenty-four
inches apart. The mouth is armed with
triple rows of teeth, shaip in front, but un-
derneath and well into the jaw they turn
into grinders, capped by a solid osseous for-
mation, running back from the wildest por-
tiox, of the head. In this respect it resem-
bles the celebrated marsh cow of Central
America, amphibious in habits—gramnivo-
rous on land and carnivorous in. water. The
length of this singular relic of an unknown
age ' has not yet been determined ; but as
the bodyxbtends into the tail, it tapers down
to so small a size, that making due allow-
ance, its entire weight would not be far
from that stated. This ; inland country
abounds in curious f ssils of a marine cha-
racter. We have,. , specimens (if_ the
crustacea, found h oirC' lin: ediafe vicinity,
which puzzles sientists and antiquarians.
How Saratoga Loat Jerome Bonaparte.
At the close of Vete Re eillitio nary War
an oldHessian sold i hied upon a small
farm situated about twetriles south from
the center . of the. village of Saratoga. It.
was ni .,pict >€esy:ue :place, and the ell i- .-
ing" at' the time was hidden from the pub-
lic road by a dense pine forest. Just north
of thefarm-house is a little lake, which, in
its priiiaitive state, was so deeply over-
shadowed by tall trees that the sun never
illumined its mirror surface. The conse-
quence was, its waters, in the sultriest heats
of summer. rip of an almost icy coldness.
•It was, -and is indeed, a natural paradise for
trout. ,To this romantic place the earlier
visitors of Saratoga who were luxuriously
inclinedused to carry their choice wines,
and indulged in their nectar while eating
trout caught from "Barhyte's Pond."
The owner was considered an eccentric
man, for when he established himself on the
farm he stated' that the possession of that
" pond" more than oom pensated for an in-
hospitable winter climate and a sterile soil.
As time wore on, however, his' taste was
vindicated fr din the same " crystal well" be-
came a source of profit, and brought to his
humble dwelling the best people of the land.
Among the visitors to Barhyte's on one
of these memorable occasions, was Joseph
Bonaparte. He had but recently arrived
in this country, and was quietly looking
about for some eligible spot whereon he
could build himself, most literally, a
princely home." He was of France, and
had been king of Sicily and Spain, and all
that was favored by nature in soil, climate,
and scenery was to him familiar. In pur-
suit of his ppose of founding a home: in
America, he .had visited some of • the most pu
celebrated localities of e e Northern and
Middle States, but wavered in making a se-
lection. The moment, however,,he saw the
little trout lake and examined its surround-
ings he seemed inspired. He threw, aside
all ceremony when conversing with its own-
er, he gratified the old German by indulg-
ing in famitiar conversation and in smoking
one of his "corn -cob pipes," and at last his,
ex -majesty announced his desire to purchase
the farm.
Contrary to all expectations, Barhyte re-
fused to sell. The real value of the property
at the time might have been two cr three
thousand dollars, and Joseph Bonaparte in-
creased his offer from the sum named to the
,-enormous one, as then considered, of thirty
thousand dollars ; but the queer old pro-
prietor refused to part with the domain—
his trout pond, he said, should never be
other than his while he lived. Thus .escap-
ed Saratoga thAe fashionable prestige of hav-
ing a palace and a, park, which were pitbse-
quently created at Bordento ern, New Jersey;
and such was the estimate that the eldest
brother of Napoleon placed upon the trout
ponds and scenery in the vicinity' of the
world-renowned Saratoga Springs.—From .

London, Sept. 15. --The Daily N,ewe con•
tains a letter from Berlin giving the views
of the Prussian Government. The writer
says :— Prussia will not negotiate with
the'present Government of Paris.—Prussia
proposes first. to occupy Paris, the Regency,
Senate and Corps Legislatif will then be

THE HOTTEST -SUMMER FOR A CENTURY.
-a-According to the weather records of Yale
College, the past has been the hottest for
ninety-two years. This is as far back as
the Yale record enlightens us, and no cen-
tenarian who was running around barefoot-
ed during the Summer of the eight previous
years, remembers anything hotter ; we may
therefore safelyecajl this the hottestsumrner
for a century. FrotrlJuly 10 to August
15, 1870, the mead daily temper ature was,
at New. Haven, 85 degrees ; and no season,
at least since 1778, has shown. so many con-
secutive hot days Oar hist tempera-
ture this summer was (July 17) noted at
98 degrees, and this has been `exceeded on-
ly tour times during the period aboYe liar
caned ;: at New .-Haven, . the thermometer
rising to 100 degrees one day each year in
1784; 1800, and 1845. In 1798 it reached
101. Rariford Covrranit.
The Standard's correspondent writing
from Berlin, gives substance of a conversa-
tion recently held witht Bismarck. The
latter affirmed that Prussia would prosecute
the war indefinitely, rather than abandon
the ideaof territorial aggrandizement.
Berlin, Sept. 17.—Considerable excite-
ment was occasioned at Wilhelmshoehe re-
cently by • an attempt to assassinate the
French Emperor, by a German apprentice.
He was arrested before he could accom-
plish his purpose. A loaded pistol was
found on his person, and he boldly declar-
ed thatthe. bullet was designed for Napo-
leon. The Germans expelled from Paris
will demand idemnity through the Prussian
government. Eighty thousand - Germans
have been driven from the Department of
the Seine alone, .
Tours, Sept. 17. -The fort at Vincennes
was blciwn up and destroyed yesterday by
the French ; position being untenable. It
is understood there were several engage-
ments outside the fortifications of Paris
yesterday.
THE ROMAN QUESTION. .
London Sept. 16.—Front despatches; re-
ceived from'lorence it would seem that the.
Italian army has surrendered Rome by this
time if the programme of the government
has been faithfully followed.

concentrating. at Civita Vecchia!
Rome, Sept. 17.—The inhabitants of the
city have received a flag of truce from the
General' in command of the Italian troops
Who have arrived very close to the city.
The people have received the truce with
t demonstations of favor, or, anal will not

of Italian troops. -
