WONDERFUL. DISCOVERY.
These wonderful remains of an antediluvian, gigantic race are in possession of a gentleman who had started with it to his residence East. This gentleman, it is said, will send the remains to Boston, and possibly we may hear all that can be said on the subject by the learned in these things. It is supposed by some of our ablest men, among whom is General Thomas, that many more skeletons will be found during the process of excavating the granite rocks in this place. Some think that these remains were deposited in this sarcophagus prior to the formation of the present strata of rocks that now abound here, but this is mere conjecture.
