PHYSICIANS' PRESCRIPTIONS Carefully compounded at all hours of the day and night Dalles, Dept. v, !. aeiv-ii Mb. Cokdon's Lecture. Mr. Condon de serves tbe praise of being the first who has devoted mui-h time and attention to the col lection of the fossils of the Colombia Basin. About foiir years Ego a gentleman was en gaged by the Smithsonian Institute to give this interior a cursory examination, with a fiew to a more exact geological survey The agent employed lacked both the Indus try and the conscientious regard for duty, necessary to render his mission la anywise successful. Mr. Condon's investigations are 'necessarily limited,. and are mostly confined to the collection of remains which have writ ten tbe history of tbe past on the rocks in characters which are not open to contradic tion.' Geology may properly be called the record of Nature's works, written by herself. The lecture was illustrated by the already very extensive collection of Mr. Condon which includes many fragmentary specimens of now extinct animals from the mighty mammoth to tbe smaller quadrupeds. These indicate with absolute certainty the natural liistory of this country, during that period just following 'the timo when "the earth was without form and void, and dark ness was on the face of the deep." There were rhinoceroses, in those days, whose bones lie buried along the beacjies of lakes which ran dry ages ago ; the mastodon fed upon the trees which grew during bis period, and the fossils tell as (hat in the ter tiary period they, did not essentially s differ from the trees of tbe present day. As the mammoth lived later than that time we con clude that his diet wag of alder, birch, Cot tonwood nnd willow. In the line of strati fication, in one case, is a specimen of fruit, not unlike a plain, bnt with a rougher rind . than modern plums. But there are none of these now. There were cherry-trees in those days; and that reasonably Indicates that there were birds to eat eherries; hence the bigquad- rupeds in all probability heard the songs of the very warblers whlch we bear in these later -times. Mr; Condon ' exhibited speci mens of rocks with shells of various kinds Imprinted in them, and geodes, .where the waters bad been ages In first liquefying and then crystalling- ordinary quarU, until it was almost at brilliant as diamond. There were bones mineralized and petrified, and tbe cavities which once held their marrows filled with, chalcedony. ' As we expect to publish at considerable length these lessons of tbe rocks, we forbear further mention of the abject matter of the discourse, with the ad dition that it was well attended by an Intelll gent and appreciative audience..
