A Mastodon's Tooth.

Some two or three weeks ago a man walking along the bank of! Gregory & Cooley's big dredge ditch, some twelve miles west of Bose Lawn, in Newton county, found in the ditch the tooth of some immense animal, probably a mastodon The tooth weighed five pounds, was 8 inches long and about 4 inches square at the crown.It was truly an enormous tooth and the surprise and wonder of all who saw it Many other fragments of bone were found in the ditch, near where " the tsoth was found, but they crumbled to pieces at a touch. The depth at which the tooth and bones were found was twelve feetThe place was within the limits of the great marsh called the Black Marsh. It is not unlikely that the animal to which the tooth belonged, got mired in the marsh, ages ago, and so lost its life. Mr. S. E. Nichols, the station agent at Rose Lawn, has seen the tooth and 5 ouches for the accuracy of all the above statements. The owner of the tooth, who values it at SIOO, intends to take it to Chicago and offer it for sale there. The tooth, as above remarked, probably belonged to a mastodon, which, as most of our readers already know, was an animal closely resembling the modern elephant, only larger, ahd which formerly existed on this continent, in large numbers.

Decoration Day Observances.

Again it is our pleasure to record the fact that another Decoration Day has been observed in due and proper manner and with the general participation of our people. The ceremonies were, of course under the general direction of the G. A. R. post, of this town. The procession formed about 2 o’clock, Monday afternoon, and was thought by many to have been the largest that ever marched to Weston cemetery, on Decoration Day. At head was the Cornet Band playing appropriate music. Following them came Rensselaer Lodge, K. ofP., with mourning badges, next Iroquois Lodge, I. O. 0. F., in regalias and mourning badges; then R. H. Milroy Camp, S. of V. and lastly the members of the Renssellaer post G. A. R. and old soldiers not members of the post. The turn out of soldiers was especially large. At the cemetery the solemn and beautiful apjwinted memorial service of the G. A. R., was executed in-an entirely successful manner. The graves ot the sleeping soldiers were then decorated With a profusion of beautiful flowers and floral emblems, by little girls, the daughters of soldiers, and the exercises closed with a funeral salute of eight gtnweach, tired by a detachment of the Sons of Veterans. The people of the town and surrounding country were present at the exercises in large numbers.
