The fragments of a piece of stone, in which a 

 live toad was found, and which, for any thing w 

 can tell, may Imve been its dormitory since thS 

 flood, is now in our possession, and may be seen 

 by any one who is curious in such matters. It 

 was discovered last week by some persons in the 

 employ of Messrs. Barber and Walker of Eastwood t 

 while at work in a limestone quarry at Watnall. 

 The stone is hard, but of a gritty texture, and its 

 place in the quarry was 16 feet below the surface 

 of the earth. When found, the toad was alive; 

 it was buried by the men in its petrid cradle, they 

 intending to remove the whole at their leisure. 

 Some unlucky urchins, however, who it seems Ilad 

 been watching the workmen, in the absence of the 

 latter, went to the spot and killed the animal. 

 The cavity in which the toad was imbedded is so 

 confined as barely to admit of its turning round in 

 its cell, and is coated with a crystalized or sparry 

 substance.
