Upon calling TO him, he was found to be alive.
A number fthe neighbours were soon collect
ed, and were set about removing the rubbish
from off the victim that was buried beneath it.
On getting down near to where he was, he
informed the laborers, that he was protected
by the accidental meeting Of two large stones
just above his head, which formed an arch,
that supported the whole weight. He was TAX
en- out, without having sustained any injury,
except few slight scratches and bruises,
which were occasoncd by dragging HIM
through small aperture that was made by
the side of the arch, after having been entomb-
ed from eleven in the morning till six in The
evening. He states that he experienced no
difficulty in breathing, except at one time for
a minute or two, and that he slept soundly
for an hour.
The large village of Brock, near Amsterdam
is said to present the most remarkable
example Of uniform neatness, and pune
tillious attention to cleanliness, that the world
can produce. 1t is chiefly inhabited by veal
thy farmers, who live in afluence upon the
income of their lands. Wagons and loaded
carriages are not allowed to pass through the
street, the pavement of which is kept in the
bestpossible order; while the footwalk, which
is as clean as scrubbing brushes can well make
it, is sanded and marked out into fancilul and
ornamental figures. The doors and porches
are Furnished, and the trunks of the trees
which grow before them are polished, by
frequent scrubbing. To gain admittance at
the front door, is a favour not to be expected,
except by persons Of some consequence; and
if the shoes of visitor happen to be little
soilea, pair of slippers is presented to INN at
the door, which he is to use as substitute
during his stay.
in the anatomical museum at Trinity Col
lege, in Dublin, is the skeleton of one Clark,
a native of Cork, who, it is said, was young
man of surprising strength and agility; but
having once lain all night in field. after in
.duging in great dissipation, the left parts
of his body began 70 ossfy, or, to be convert
ed into bone and the process continued, by
slow degrees, until every part grew into a
bony substance, excepting his SKIN, eyes, and
entrails. His joints became stiftened, SO that
he could neither bend his body, lie down, nor
rise up, without assistance. When placed
upright, like a statute, he could stand but
could move no more than if dead. His teeth
were joined, and formed into one entire bone,
. that it became necessary to break hole
through them for the Introduction Of liquid
substances, to preserve miserable life. His
tongue lost its use, and his sight left him, some
time before he expired.
