"Petfified Bodies. s."-C0rrecti0n.

GENTLEMEN OF THE CHRONICLE" l
do not know from whom you received the
information, that originated the above
quoted paragraph, in your last paper-but
l must assure you that it is entirely
erroneous as regards the petrifaction of
the body of which you made mention.
1(with another physician of Lewisburg,
who has long been an esteemed resident of
the town was present at the disinterment
of the body (Mr. J. MC.) which had been
buried August, ls4O-ffteen years ago.
We q. e, d.. q. aud myself, were at first
deceived, and imagined it a petrifaction,
but on closer inspection we're surprised to
tnd urprcvious conceptions erroneous. On
in'ertingaknife in the leg, opposite the tib-
lave found no resistance, the knife passing
freely through what was formerly bone I;
and the substance extracted proved on ex-
animation to be adipose matter. Although
We could not pursue our researches to the
extent We wished, yet enough of the mat

e'Fef.nen', ths. il was eiiroze matter,

resembling the tallow Of beef, only shade
lighter in color. On exposing it to the
action of caloric, it melted freely, burned
vividly, and left no residuum.
l do not believe that there has been an
other case of the kind discovered in Amer
lea; at least in my experience and reading
1 have never met any thing resembling it.
Some years ago, the Cemetery Of Pere
lie Chaise' (near Paris, France,) was ex-
amined by committee Of Physicians and
scientific men appointed by Government to
inspect the pits, where the bodies of those
who died Of the Asiatic Cholera in 1882
were buried. These pits were made large
enough to hold FIVE hundred persons, who
were piled up in tiers, and the pits, when
nearly filled, were closely and firmly COW
cred with earth.
On re-opening these pits, the bodies
were found to be transmitted into soft
adipose substance, and the committee re-
ported that peculiar chemical action, the
result of a number Of bodies buried in
such close contiguity, was the cause of this
most singular transformation.
But here was single body Transmitted
into the same peculiar substance, only
trife harder, as those of Pere lie Chaise
l have carefully avoided using technical
terms, that all your readers might under
stand, and in conclusion have only to re-
mark, that this subject is worthy of scien-
tifc investigation; and small portion of
the matter has been carefully preserved,
that sauants may have an opportunity Of
examining this most singular phenomenon.
The Editors of tue Lewisburg Chronicle
will give information to those who may
feel interested in the matter. j. L. l..

to avow. Yours, s. II. F.
I'VE ejoce to learn that our respected correspon.
dent msinterpreed both by ourselves and others,
in his mu1uncaton 10th ut, respecting Russia and
England. We certainly supposed he was giving his
oEn as well what he regarded public opinion
but well how often, in the hurry of
composition, fail to put exact thoughts in words
which cannot be wrongly taken; and IS. H. F. We
know, is often blgcd to write rspidly and wihou,
time for revision. Our opinion still is that weboth
individuals and as natons 'were NOT born to hate
England" or any other nation people may de-
piore nay may hate "thcr vices, not them selves
Nor we believ thatens htened public opinion"
Is anywhere on the side Of Russia. Austria may be
Hungary is not Prussia may be-Poand is not the
Pope may be-the Republicans OF Italy not: and
England and France with All the smaller enlight
ened nations Of Europe, would sooner be REPuBLIcAS
THAN CossAcK." American Missionaries in Greek and
the Turkih Empire We believe dread tss possibility Of
RussianGreek-Church despotism; and all civilized men
in India and China would deplvre the subveTsion by
Russia of British rule influence in that direction.
There some real friends Of Russia in Amercs-so
few however that there is opposition made to their
open departure for the Land the knout and Siberia
and there morbid 'haters Of England" from
education reckless politicians Of the ultrasavery
school, others who love Russia to attract attention by
their affected nyuarty and astute journ
who nict very wise and very long "esders" upon both
sides of the question: to be to be rght what
the result may be- All these manufacture more or
less Of pubc opinion for the iron heeled Russ auto
crat: yet think the great American heart beats
warmly for "RcpuJiicdnsm against Cossdckism"-for
the rirk man against the most crushing despotism
der which earth grosns and tremt,es. WI
