How TO SQUARE THE CIRcLE.-EUREKA -
Says the London COHrt London "ThejcircIe is
squared, ride: Ityou take silver wire, twelve
inches and quarter long, the quarter being
circular wire made to form the true square,
each of its sides will be equal TO nine square
inches. Now, if the same wire is allowed TO
assume the true circle, it is evident that the
era of the circle will be the same as it was
in the square. For instance, if wall be built
around a city, and it is found to be twelve
miles round, the area of that city is nine
square miles. Therefore, the square of any
circle is equal to three-fourths the length Of
it, own circumference.

HE UEDEcAYED DEAD.-A gentleman of
undoubted veracity, writing TO a friend in this
city, gives the following particulars, which
appear to US as worthy of notice by scientific
men whose studies have enabled them TO in
vesugate and understand the causes which
produced the effects related. On the 18th
nit, the body of Mr.. 0'Brien, who died in
Milledgeville about two years ago, was disin-
TERED, and, upon opening the coffin, was
found IN the same condition as when buried.
There was no appearance of decomposition,
and no unpleasant odOr. The body had re
tanned its former weight and size, the features
were perfect, the hair firm as in life-arms,
hands, feet, and, in fact, the whole man in
every particular as he was committed to the
tomb. Mr.. O'Brien was at the time Of his
death about sixty years old, and weighed
near two hundred pounds. He was buried in
black walnut coffin, which was inclosed in
box, and the whole inclosed in tight vault.
Some part Of the outside box had decayed, as
we'll as the wOOllen cloth with which the coffin
was covered. The silk gloves and stockings.
which were on his hands and feet, remained
unchanged, even in colsr.-N. o. Bulletin.
