The tive-tuCvl horse has beta fouud in Kansas, and the three toed horse iu the Kails on Jubu Day’s river by Prof. Condon, but here we had the perfect horse and finely de veloped. We also fiutl the fossil* re mains of fresh-water fish and many oth er curiosities. Mr. bternburg, Prof. Cope’s assistant, shipped ubuut uOOlbs. of bones, from those of the liorsu.dowu, including bird bones. Liu shipped no large bones, deeming the smaller ones of more importance.

The report is that Deadwood is completely invested. A heavy wagon train ou tue Caster road J.as been captured, aud B smarck’s Jos ephs are banqueting ou the blood ol uclens l.'ss men and women.
