The Minnesota Pioneer says that two specimens of the American ostrich, male and female, were recently killed near Fort Desmoines, in the state of Iowa. They are described as four and a half feet long, and five feet in height, with bills six inches long, straight and very sharp.They resemble in most points the ostrich of Africa. One thousand dollars had been offered for them.
