CITY EVIALETIIIit.
BIST&ICAL SOCIETY OP PENNSYLVANIA.
—This association held its regular stated
meeting last night at their ball in the Athe
nmern Building, corner of Sixth and Adel
phi streets.
Dr. Benj. H. Coates, vice preaident; in the
chair, who, after calling the meeting to
order' announced that the corresponding
secretary, Col. James Ross Snowden, would
read the address which he had prepared
and delivered by request of the members of
the society, upon the occasion of the dedica
tion of a monument erected by the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania to Cornplanter,
the noted Chief of the Six Nations of In
dians, et Quennesedaga, Warren county, on
the 18th or October last.
ColOnel Suos den then read a lengthy and
interesting address, comprising a complete
biography of the life and character of
complanter, which was interspersed with
many characteristic anecdotes,and through
out highly enlogitetic of that great chief.
Mr. John W. Wallace, in a few remarks,
complimented Colonel Snowden on the
complete success of his effort, and for the
labor he bad expended in his researches
after many of the important facts adduced
in ths course of the address and moved'
thatthe thanks of the society' be presented
to Colonel J. Ross Snowden for his inter
esting lecture; and, that, after he had made
such use of the manuscript as he desired,
it should be deposited in the archives of
the society.
Both these motions were unanimously
adopted,
Colonel. Snowden thanked the society for
these complimentary resolutions, and said
that the original manuscript would be •ftir
nished the society agreeably to the* ex
pressed desire,
The Secretary announced the donations
to the society during the past month : To
the library 106 volumes, 318 titles—to wit
Books, 139 volrunes: magazines, 26; news
papers, 14: breadeidegt„, 33. • •
Also five other articles, among which was
key belonging to a ;bookcase of William
Penn, and worn upon a ring attached to his
watch-chain, and a slave-polk , captured by
Elias Smith, the war correspondent of the
New York Tribune, at Goldsboro', N. C.
This is a strange-looking instrument made
of inn bands, one of which enciecies the
waist of the wearer, and the other his neck,
with a curved upright, some three feet in
length, to the upper extremity of which is
attached a common cow-bell, that necessa
rily rings upon every motion of the body.
The whole affair weighs about ten pounds,
and was fastened upon runaway slaves to de
signate their whereabouts. This instru
ment is so nicely constructed as to render
it impossible for the negro to disengage
himself from it when it has been fastened
upon his person.
Mr. Fates exhibited the original gold
medal presented by Congress to Colonel De
Fleury for his gallantry at the storming of
Stony Point, July 5, 1799. This medal is of
solid gold, about one-and-a-half inches in
diameter, the intrinsic value being thirty
dollars. The device on one side is a hel
meted soldier standing against the rains of
a fort, Ins right hand extended, holding a
sword upright. The staff of a stand of colors
is grasped by his left; the colors are under
his feet, and Ile is trampling upon them.
The legend is: Virtutis et audacto3 monunt
et premium, De Fteury equiti, gallo. Primo
murosres. .Americ. D. D."
On the reverse are two water batteries,
three wins each; a fort on a hill, with a flag
flying, a'riVer in front, and six vessels be
fore the fort. The legend is: "Aggerez
_paludeshostes victi. Stony ,Pt. Expugn. XV.
ALDCCLXXIX."
- Mr. Samuel Croft, exhibited a painting,
very handsomely executed, of the old Lon
don Coffee-house, erected at the corner of
Front and Market streets in the year 1702.
Col.Snowden exhibited the original docu
ment, signed by Washington and Jefferson,
December 29th, 1790, containing the reply
of the President to the speech or "talk" of
the Cornplanter, Half Town, and the great
chief and counsellors of the Seneca nation
of Indians. This is a very ancient writing
on a dressed sheep skin. The colonel also
exhibited a very elegantly engraved copy
of this singular document. Also, photo
graphs of Polly Logan and Chas. O'Bail,
daughter and Son of Cornplanter.
OPENING OF LIBERTY HALL.4—The
formal opening of Liberty Hall, in
Lombard street, below Eighth, took place
last evening. There was a large attendance
the Hall being crowded to excess. The
building was put up by a company of
wealthy colored men, the design being to
improve the condition of the colored men
•
of this city. The proceedings were opened
last evening with a prayer by the Rev. T.
J. Clinton, after which the address of the
stockholders was read by Jas. W. Parnell.
It contains the following passage: "We as
sert that our civil and political condition is
changing, and we must change our habits
and theories to meet the new order of
things."l
Rev. James W. Hunnicnt, editor of the
Nation, published in Richmond, Va., made
a brief address,in which he reviewed the
events of the ast five years, and noted trio
wonderful changes that had been produced
halls South by the rebellion.
Hon. Wm. D. Kelley made an eloquent
address. He said that a great political vic
tory had been achieved ; not a victory for
the white people of the North alone, but a
victory that embraced those before him, as
well as himself. The colored people df the
North had played no mean part in the con
test. They had exercised the right of suf
frage in live of the Eastern States. Wis
consin had given' to the citizens of African
+descent the same privilege, and other West
ern States would soon follow in the same di
rection. He had been elected a member of
the Fortieth Congress, and he had yet
a session to serve in the Thirty-ninth. At
the opening of the last session he had the
hortor to introduce a bill giving the right of
sniffrage to colored men of the District of
Columbia. It had passed the House of
Representatives, and he intended to devote
as much of his time in the next session as
could be spared from his importantoluties
in the, }louse to urge its passage in the
Senate. He and his friend, Thaddeus Ste
vens, had introduced bills into the House to
enable the loyal people of the South to estab
lish State Governments. One of these bills
he believed would become a law. Colorado
and Nevada had applied to be admitted as
States, and in the. Constitution of each the
word white has been introduced. He should
vote against their admission unless that
word be stricken out.
Judge Kelley was followed by Rev. J. W.
Jackson, Theodore D. Miller,Robert P ur
-vis,Rev. L. C. Matlack and thers.
OunricamoN.—The Rev. J. P. Kellogg
was ordained yesterday as assistant rector
of tbe Church of the Mediator, Nineteenth

CARNIVAL, AND FANCY DRESS DAL DE
su/sE.—We would call the attention of all
lovers of rational amusements to "La Co
terie Carnival Ball," which is to come ofron
January 14th, at the Academy of Music. It
is being arranged by the three gentlemeg—
Mr. P. E. Abel and the Brothers Risley,
who have already earned such a reputation
for taste in the perfection of a similar class
of balls during the several past seasons. We
are assured that the present ball will be even
more splendid, and command an even
greater amount of enjoyment and admira
tion than that which was afforded by its
precursor, as they are now untrammeled in
their efforts to make it a decided success.
This will be the first grand ball at the Aca
demy of, the season, and were it not for the
number of fancy and masked balls which
immediately succeed this, we might hint to
our readers what they intend doing, but in
vention and genius in organizing amuse
ments cannot be copyrighted, and se we in
'continently refrain. But we must say, that
from all we have heard, we predict for La
Coterie Carnival a reputation which has
rarely been equaled. - Since its first an
nouncement subscriptions have been pour
ing in on the managers, Mr. P. E. Abel, at
Petersons', 308 Chestnut street, and Messrs.
Risley, at the Continental Hotel.
THE AL3IsHOUSE.—The population of the
Almshouse as reported to the Guardians o
the Poor yesterday, is 2,985, an increase of
129 over the same period last year. Dr.
David D. Richardson was elected Superin
tendent of the Insane Department. Dr. S.
W. Butler, who has dccupied the position
for several years, received only four votes.
THE Our-Door Poon.—During the month
of October the visitors of the poor g•ranted
out-door relief to 2,610 persons, of whom 581
were Americans ' 758 foreigners and 1,271
children. The total expenditures were
$2,146 82.
Runt Ovr.r..Grace Leonard, aged fifty
seven year 9, living in Brandywine street,
between Nineteenth and Twentieth, was
run over at Fifteenth and Race streets by a
wagon, and had her shoulder blade broken.
THE HOUSE or CORRECTION:—The Com
mittee on Finance, list evening, resolved to
make a favorable report upon the ordinance
to make an appropriation of $lOO,OOO for the
erection of a Rouse of Correction.
The Great Illa.sumion Discovery.
They, Nov. 11, 1866.—The scientific world
is quite likely to be thoroughly aroused by
the recent discoveries in the domain of na
f mai history at Cohoes, the manufacturing
village immediately adjacent to this city.
During
. the process-df an excavation some
weeks since, on the site of a mill to be newly
erected, a mammoth' jaw bone was found
about one hundred feet from the banks of
he Mohawk river,embedded at a distance
f sixty-five feet below the surface of the
arth, and being taken up at once, excited
the attention of the naturalists not only of
this vicinity, but likewise far and wide.
The length of the jaw was thirty-two inches,
twenty inches in width, and weighed some
what more than fortj--six. pounds.
On Thursday last the remains of a com
plete skeleton of a hugemastodon were dis
covered eighteen feet further down in the
same excavation, and the attendant natu
ralists of Yale and Union Colleges'and the
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of this
city, are fully confirmed in the opinion that
the frame can be made quite perfect. The
remains have been carefully gathered to
gether in the mill of the Harmony Com
pany, cleaned and oiled, and it is expected
that they will be viewed and pronounced
upon during the coming week by Pro
fessor Louis Agassiz, the learned naturalist
and savant of Harvard University. The
'jaw of the mastodon is four feet nine
inches in length from the mouth to the cra
nium, to which a portion of the back bone
and jaw are still connected. The ctanium
rises very like that ofan elephant. The two
tusks each measure eight feet in length, and
their true position is well marked on the
upper jaw. The hip bone is five feet long
and weighs one hundred - pounds, while the
shoulder blades measure ten feet nine
inches, and weigh about fifty pounds each.
The under jaw, already alluded to as having
been found some weeks since, precisely fits
the upperjaw now exhumed, and the ribs
are found to be four feet andahalfin length,
and, as before stated, the fossilists are of the
opinion' that the completed frame will form
a most essential and grave contribution to
the science of natural history.
Themeasurements show that the animal
must have stood at least fifteen feet in height,
and have been a little upwards of ' twenty
feet in length, independent of the,tusks al
ready stated to be each eight feet in length.
ProieEsor Marsh, of the Yale College Scien
tific School, gives it as his well-grounded
opinion that the remains discovered are
those of a great North American Mastodon,
comparing in all its parts fully with the de
scription of the animal given in the scien
tific works as follows: --"The animal has the
vaulted and cellular akull of the elephant,
with large tusks intheupperjaw and heavy
foim. From the character =of the nasal
bones and the shortness of the head and
neck it has been concluded it had a trunk."
Whatever similar remains have been dis
covered on this continent,.the fact bas never
failed to awaken the deppest interest, not
only in this country but in Europe. - Frag
ments were first,diacovered as early as, the
year 1705,and in 1801 the first comparatively,
complete skeleton of a mastodon was found
somewhere in Orange county, lam told,
and immediately transported to London re
turned and kept on exhibition in Philadel
delphia for some years. Dr. Warren, of
Harvard College, is said to be in possession
of a large part of another frame, and in 1845
it is stated that a large and valuable collec
tion of mastodon bones were found ont the

banks of the Mississippi em ir ~

been wired together,were exhibited through-
Out the•country and in London as the'great
Missosourium. Harvard University Is also
in possession of a mastodon skeleton inde
pextdent of that belonging to Dr.Warren,an d
it is alleged that specimens of the primeval
species have been found in several of the
States,. but in no instance anything like as
perfect as the one now developed at Cohoes.
Scientific in - Vestigations upon this contro
verted subject have been widely extended
and marked by great indu atry, and as this
event shows, they have been characterized
by much success and truthfulness.
One author says: "The food of the masto
don was entirely:vegetable, as is proved by
the remains of twigs of coniferous trees,and
other vegetable matter found between the
ribs; and the animal was doubtless fond of
resorting to marshy or boggy places, in
search of succulent plants, where it was
Often mired in the... Very places where its re
mains have been extracted during the nine
teenth century." Another writer remarks:
"The geological position of the remains of
this species (mastodon)' has long been and
still is a subject of dispute among geologists;
in a few instances they are said to have
been found, below the drift, in the pliocene,
and even in the miocene; but thdy have ge
nerally been obtained from the post pliocene
or alluvial formations at a depth of five to
ten feet, in lacustral_deposit, bogs, and beds
of infusorial earth. Some have thoughtthat
the mastodons became extinct since the ad
vent of man on: the earth. According 'to
Lyell the period of their destruction,though
geologically modern, musthave been many
thousand years ago. The same causes
probably acted in their extinction as in the
case of the fossil• elephant, perhaps partly
climatic changes or, more probably, some
great convulsion on the surface of the globe
at an epoch anterior to man." A distin
guished natural historian says: "One of the
principal deposits of mastodon bones ap
pears to have been the Big Bone Lick in the
north part of Kentucky, near the Ohio,
whence the mastodon has been called the
'animal of the Ohio.' None of the remains
have the appearance of having been rolled,
but seem to have been unmoved since the
death of the animal, and it is worthy of re
mark that Guise which were found at the
river of the Great Osage, which runs into
the Missouri a little above its confluence
with the Mississippi, were in a vertical po
sition, as if the animals had been bogged or
buried in the soil."
Parkinson, in his Organic Remains, adds:
"The country in which these remains (mas
todons) are found, is like an immense plain,
bordered on every side by mountains. On
digging into the morasses,where these bones
are found, the following strata are generally
met with: One or two feet of peat, one or
two feet of yellow marl, with vegetable re
mains, about two feet of grey marl, like
ashes i 'finally a bed of shell marl. In the
grey marl the bones are generally found."
The soil in which the discovery at Cohoes
was found answers Parkinson's description
in the above quotation exactly.
It thus appears that a great and perma
nent contribution is 'about to be made to
science, and that in the bosom of the State
of New York has been found the most im
portant discovery tending to elucidate natu
ral history made in many, many years.—
