SUDDEN INTERRUPTION OF LADY's TOILET
A day or two since, lady living on Biddle
street, between Tenth and Eleventh, was en-
gagged before her mirror in going through her
toilet exercises, when the glass suddenly receded
from her, as the entire front wall of the build
ing parted company with its neighbors, and
with tremendous crash fell into the street.
The lady, in utter establishment Mt the sudden
ness of the motion, was left standing in disha-
bile, though, singularly enough, entirely unin-
jured. In consequence of the recent grading of
the street, the earth beneath the wall had been
partially removed, and its sudden giving way
was the cause Of the sccident--St. Louis Int.

A PETRlFIED CORPSE IN WIscoNsIN.-The
Fond du Lac Journak relates the following very
extraordinary case Of rapid petrifaction "On
the 10th of August, l847, Mrs. Phelps, wife Of
our informant, Abner p. Phelps, died and was
buried at Oak Grove, in Dodge county. On the
18th of April last she was taken up to be re-
moved to Strong's Landing The coffin was
found to be very heavy, and the body to retain
its features and proportions. After its reno
val to Strong's Landing, distance of As miles,
the body was examined and found to be wholly
petrifed-converted to a substance resembling
a light-colored stone. Upon trial, edge-tools
made no more impression upon it than upon
marble. In striking upon the body with
metal, a hollow ringing sound was produced.
The disease by which she came to her death
was chill, fever and dropsy, and when the body
was buried it was very much swollen. The
ground in which she had been buried was o
yellowish loan, and the body lay about three
feet above the lime rock"

SCHOOLS AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.
MEssRs EDIToRs: Charles b. Calvert, esq,
President of the Maryland Agricultural Society,
authorizes me to say that premiums will be
offered for school products exhibited at the next
annual Fair. of the Society. An officer Of the
State Agricultural Society of Virginia also
stated that he should call attention to the same
subject for their exhibitions. The juvenile spe-
cimens proposed to be exhibited are drawings,
mechanism, minerals and other productions,
both OF nature and art. The proposal is no
less interesting to families than to schools. No
schools or families are more Interested in this
proposal than at the heart of the nation. Once
let this kind of light go out from this grand
concentrating and rudiating point, not to Mary
land and Virginia merely, but to the whole
country--indeed to all countries-and by the
rays of intellectual and moral light both re-
Elected and radiated back, this central point Of
our nation would indeed be the great centre of
light for the whole world-.just as it should be.

confined in a close glass case, actually came to
life, and was found crawling about in its mar
