EXTRAORDINARY DrscovERY.-Yesterday

EXTRAORDINARY DiscovERY.-festerday
afternoon, Us some workmcn were excavating
a cellar on Linton street, short distance be-
low John street, they came in contact with q
hard substance about nine feet below the
grade of the street, which, after some trou:
lie, was excavated and brought to light; and
proved to be human body in perfect state
of petrifacation. This extraordinary specl.
men of this human race is male, about five
feet seven inches in length. The hair IL cut
very shoft; and seeths to have been shaved
in several parts; as its formation Is perfect
and apparently uninjured by time. Tho face
is singuiarly formed, and differing in shape
and expression from any Of the traces OF the
present age. What is more remarkable, the
body is perfect in all its parts, every muscle
fibre, and snew being perfectly developed.
The color Is rather Of light gray, and in
some parts approaches very near to the white
man, although this may have been produced
by the action Of the soil in which 1t llas been
buried perhaps for ages.
A number of eminent scientific gentlemen
visited this remarkable and strange exhuma'
ton yesterday afternoon, hut nothing OF
definite character was arrived at relative TO
the cause, or what length of time it has lain
there, although all agreed that several hun
dred years must have elapsed since 1t was
bured,-C Cincinnati Inquirer.
