draining the faid well feveral valuable re- 
Mains of Reman antiquities were’ taken up, 
amongft which were two brafs facrificial 
vafes; one of them eleven inches in height, 
and twenty-one jin circumference: feveral 
-bones, horns, &c. were likewife found at the 
fame time. 
lt appears from the Cumberland Packet of 
Jan. 17, that Mr. John Walker, of Eatien- 
thwayte Chapel, in Cumberland, had, merely 
for the purpofe of experiment, buried a live 
toad in the earth, inthe month of November 
1802 —That gentleman, or his reprefenta- 
tive, thus defcribes the refult of the experi- 
ment, in the fame paper. ‘* The reptile was 
put into a bafon, the bafon covered with a 
flate, and depofited about a foot beneath the 
furface of the earth, on the 5th of Novem- 
ber 1802. The bafon was carefully dug up, 
on the 8th of the prefent month, when its 
inhabitant was found olive, though much 
{maller after its confinement of fifteen months. 
Tt is unneceflary to obferve, that, during that 
long period, it is not known that any nutri- 
ent could be odtained by the prifoner, whofe 
fituation feems to have utterly precluded 
every means of fubfiftence.” It appears like- 
wife, from the fame accounts, that the toad 
has been re-committed to the earth, for the 
purpofe of further experiments. 
The quantity of rain which fell at Kendall 
in the courfe of laft year, is thus defcribed by 
a late Correfpondent of the Carlifle Journal.
