AN EXTRAORDINARY; DIscovERY.-
The attention of men of science, in
Paris, has been drawn to an eXtraordi-
nary discovery made in a neighhoring
department. A grave-digger, in throw
/ ing up some earth, came upon body in
state Of perfect preservation. On ex.
animation it proved to be that OF an in
divdual buried thir'v.srven wears ago.
He had died from the effects Of a bite of
mad dog. The shroud and the coffin
had fallen to dust, but the body remain
ed intact. This is the third eXhumation
made within twenty years, o.! bodies Of
the victims of hydrophohia, under SINH
lar circumstances; and it would really
seem that they are beyord the reach OF
decompoSion. The registry OF deaths
was consulted, and no mention of the
embalment Of the body was found.
