PETKIFAcTIoE.-A writer the New Hamp- shire Patriot, from Iowa Territory, relates cu rious incidents of petriacilon in that soil "Thert
 is something n the nature of the soil which petrites many substances, such shells, wood, bark, fish feathers and insects and reptiles. have seen them of all ,hese various kiads-some very natural fish and insects, and saw one complete wing with al the feathers. There a very singular instance ol petrifaction discovered yesterday in this town The cuizens have built cemetery and have remov- ed many their friends from the old graveyard it. Many of the cotns have been found to be unusually heavy, even of small children. Yesterday, in at. tempting to remove Mrs. Evans, who had been dead about five years, they found it difficult to gel the coffin out of the grave and curiosity excited them to open it, and they found the body in state of pe- Irifaclon. The nose and some parts of the face were decayed. but the neck and the wrinkles in the flesh were perfectly natural The flesh on one of the legs had the appearance of what is usua ly termed goose flesh. Petrifacton not entirely complete except on the exterior. I did not see the body, but saw some pieces taken from ii. They had the ap- pearance oflimestone. So much for the marvellous But singular as it may be, i, is Iue."-[Eastern Argus.
