the Jersey side of the river died Tuesday under
the most extraordinary circumstances Being requested
to get some water to drink he took his pail and
started off in the direction opposite to the WELL (Which
he had often visited) The others called after him
and told him of his error when he turned about, went
to the well and filled his pail, and began his return
at first in ordinary walk, then faster, and gradu-
ally increasing bis speed until lie passed his COM
panions on full run, which grew faster until it
seemed to far surpass the utmost conceivable
power of the human frame. Ore of the men
mounted horse standing and pursued at the
top of his speed, but without overtaking the fugitive
After nearly mile the man suddenly fell; and when
the horseman up with him he was stone dead,
still grasping tie pail in his hand. This is the
extraordinary case of coup de sOlea we have ever
heard of-Neto York Tribune

STRANGE pETRIFAcrIoN Mr.. Woodward, of
Warren county, o. said to be man of veracity, gives
the Editor of the Eaton Register the following account
of PETRIFIED WOMAN 1t occurred near Lebanon.
"On the sixth day of last month"; our venerable and
much esteemed FRIEND John C. Irwin, closed his earth
y career, in the full hope of happy Immortality. On
the following day an appropriate funeral discourse
was delivered by Elder w. Clark. His remains were
deceny inferred in the grave yard near West Lebanon
Some time previous to his death, he had expressed
desire that the body of his first wife should be
ed to this grave yard.-Accordggy, the 24th ult.,
the citizens of Lebanon undertook to the
mains of Mrs. Irwin. went with others in search
of her grave. We found it on very high point of
white oak ground, near Rock Creek, where they had
formerly lived. And when we had opened the grave
down to the coffin, we found it about one fourth in
water and the plank of the coffin very rotten how
ever we got several pieces of bark under it, to bind
1t together, li it out From the great weight of
the coffin, curious TO it opened and to
utter astonishmen there lay the body in full size
1t was covered with thin scum of black dirt, which
appeared to be alive with very little worms, of yell
low color, but they soon disappeared, when exposed
to the air. When we came to examine more minute
ly, found that the body had petried, and become
smooth white limestone in appearance. The head
and neck had petri6ed, and nothing remained but
the naked bone, and the hairs of the head and
feathers which had been in pillow. Her arms had
perifed at the elbow joint, and nothing remained of
the lower part of the and hands, but the ma
ked bones. The feet had also petrifed, and fell off
at the ankle joint and the stone appeared shelly At
the knee joints, the legs appeared to be solid stone.
Around each leg where she wore her garters-being
very fcshy woman-the carriers had made deep
impression and this impression plainly visible in
the sOne except some parts where it appeared solid
The thickness of the stone was about that of common
Spanish sole leather.

The Deaths by Sun Stroke were so frequent in New
Orleans in the week ending the 18th ult., and the
heat continues so intense that the Board of Health
recommended suspension of all kinds of out door
business between IL O'Clock, A. NJ. and P. NJ, and
scrupulous abstinence from spirituous liquors. and
large draughts of ice water. Among the cases re-
corded is that of who ATTENDED his sisters fI-
neral; on his return home he struck, and the
next day placed in the grave beside his sister.

nounce fatally erroneous

ROBBERY AND THREATENED MURDER.-We learn
from the Dayton (Ohio) Journal that the dwelling Of
the widow Bremen, of Perry township, was entered
by two ruffans on Wednesday night last. One of
them armed with axe, with which he threat
ened to kill her unless she gave up her money. She
gave them about $40 in small change, telling them
that her son-in-law had all her money whom they
must call if they wanted it. On the following day
two wealthy farmers were arrested at the instance Of
Mrs. B., charged with the robbery, and held to bail
for trial The affair has created great excitement.
