Mrs. A p. Phelps was folnd, at Oak Grove,

pose OF removing it ~ Berlin, his place of

which was considered by that Paper as rath-
or suspicious will vouch for its corIect>
ness having been acquainted with Mr..
Phelps as a tradesman at Kingston, Mar
quetle Co. Wis. for the past two years.
Mrs. Phelps died in August of lei7, and
was removed some time in June last. The
grave had been dug unusually wide, and
plank laid across the same, just above the
coffin, to prevent the dust from pressing up
on it, The body had been buried three
years, seven months and eleven days at the
time Of the disinterment. On reaching tho
coilin, which was made OF pine, and enclosed
in an Oak box it was found so very heavy
as 10 require The strength Of five men TO-
raise il. The coffin was opened by Mr..
Phelps. and found to Le in u perfect state of
petrifsction. A large chisel used in open
ing the coffin, was pressed upon The body
but with no more effect than if applied 10
stone. The coffin was perfectly filed aud
the body solid as a rock. The fare and
arms we're as when laid out. The head was
slightly inclined to one side. So perfect is
the countenance, that Mr.. Phelps could re-
cognizc her among any number Of corpses.
Mr.. Phelps has made arrangements to graf
ify those wishing 10 see this curious corpse,
as il appears in the coffin. 1t would be well
to remark here. that Mrs. Phelps disease
was dropsy. The corpse may be seen by
calling upon Mr. Phelps, at what is known
