CONVOCATION OF THE PROVINCE OF YORK.—The
Hon', and Very Rev. the Dean of York (acting as the Com-

cretary to the Archbishop, after divine service! in the

A PETRIFIED WIFE.—A few days since a gen-
a gentleman residing in Rising Sun, Indiana, who had
married a second time, wished to remove the body of his
wife to a new cemetery. Preparations were made to that
effect, and labourers opened the grave in the usual manner ;
but when they reached the coffin they could not lift it,so
great was the weight. After obtaining considerable assist-
ance, however, the men succeeded in raising the coffin from
the tomb They then could not resist the temptation of
peering into the coffin, and learning the reason for its un-
usual weight, and found, instead of the remains of a corp e,
a stone figure, the exact counterpart of the woman who had
died. This strange story soon spread, and hundreds and
thousands of persons were present to see the strange spec-
tacle. The husband took tim body of his departed spouse
home, and has it there now, where it is visited by hundreds
of the curious and scientific. The body seems to have been
petrified, and to have become a perfect stone woman. The
probability is that the body has become adipocete, and 7111,
before long, melt or crumble,--Cincinatti /net 6 or,
