An Ossifed Man. A writer in the Christian
Advocate, under the head of Transatlantic Re-
collections, speaking of the Museum of Dublin
remarks; what calls and rivetsp the attention of
every visitor, whether scientific or otherwise. is
the celebrated skeleton of an ossifed man. 1t is
said to be the only instance of entire ossiication
ever known. 1t is the skeleton of young man
named Clark, who was of large frame, and of
strong constitution. Falling asleep in the open
air, during stateof perspiraton he caught severe
cold, at winch. time it was supposed, ossifcation
commenced, and continued to progress for many
years by slow degrees until finally he was bone
except the skin, eyes and entrails. For length
of time before death, his joints grew together, so
that ne could not move; and thus did death in this
visible and terrific form, creep over him by slow
degrees, until at length his sight departed, his
tongue became stiff and useless his teeth grew
together into solid mass of bone SO that to pro-
long his miserable existence, an aperture had been
broken through which to pour nutriment'

August 18th, 1915.
Dear Sir-Afer leaving your CITY we passed
through Salem and being on a tour of health, and
willing to beguile part of our time, we resolved
on an excursion through this county, which had
been represented to me as a sterile and uninter-
csting part of the country. But have found nv
self in many respects agrecably disappointed
On The slightest interview with the inhabitants,
] found them in the enjoyment of blessings which
no money can purchase, viz: health and content
ment The country is peculiarly calculated to
form strong and robust constitutions, with bold
and enterprising dispositions. We need not won
der therefore, at the praises acquired by our noun
aineer soldiers, in the great and desperate enter
prises in which they have been engaged.
When we arrived at the top of the hill from
whence we descended to Houser town, our attention
was attracted by aview (at the distance of II
miles1 ofthe pinnacle of Mount Ararat, which is
commonly called the PILOT MOU NTAIN.
This curiosity of nature had excited in nv mind an
interest greater than has usually been produced
from reading Mr.. Morses account of it. We took
the road which lead by Mr.. Affords where we
stopped and dlned here we had most sublime
and Interesting review of the Mountain, which
exhibited blue appearance, rearing its head of
rock many hundred feet above the tops of the adj
iacent hills and trees. Its shape at this distance
had striking rrsemblance to that of your mar

and body of the mountain the perpendicular
octagon, the main pinnacle of rock, and the shin

with rude heaps of rocks, shrubs and trees on the
top of the rock pinnacle. In addition to this. is
another cliff called the lille pinnacle, which I
shall describe in another place,
Notwithstanding the pleasure 1 received from
this view of its solitary and magnificent grand
eur felt an irresistible desire to approach
it. Accordingly we proceeded TO Mr. Shepard's
who lived off the road, in delightful and healthy
situation about three or four miles from the moun.
tain. Next morning, having been entertained
with great civility by Mr. S. and his lady, we en-
