A PErRIFIED WivE-A few days since
a gentleman residing in Rising Sun. In.
diana, WHO had married Il second time,
wished to remove the body OF his wife to p

TO that eject, and laborers opened the
grave in the usual manner; but when they
reached the coffin they could not III, It, 50
gre.t was the weight. After obtaining
considerable assistance, however, the
men succeed d in raising the coffin from
the tomb. II ley then could not resist
the temptation Of peering into the coffin
and learning the reason for its Unusual
weight, and found, instead OF the remains
Of corpse, a stone figure, the exact coun-
terpart Of the woman who had died.
This strange story soon spread, and hun
dreds and thousands Of persons were pres,
ent to see the strange spectacle.
The husband took the body Of his de-
parted spouse bome and has 1t there now,
where it is visited by hundreds Of the

to have been petriied, and to have become
Il perfect stone woman. The probability
is that the body has become adipocere,
and will before long melt or crumble.--

Seeing Fair PLAY.


Slrol.ing leisurely about Uncle Sam $
big ship yard, in Washington. the other
day we observed a regular hard weather
sailor looking clap, from man,o' war,
who, in turn, was watching two men
dragging lnrge cross-cut saw through a
huge live oak log. The saw was dull.
the log terribly hard. and there they went
-see-saw--see- -saw--pull, push, push,
pull. Jack studied the matter over a
while, until he came to the conclusion
that they were pulling to see who would
get the saw, and as one was II monstsous
big ch p, while the other was little Eel.
low, Jack decided TO see fair play so,
giving the big one a clip under the ear
that capszed him end over end. he jerkel
the saw out Of the log, and giving it to
the small one, sung out: p
"Now run you beggar.'"

MEDICAL ScIENoE,- Our present defect
is not that we Know too little. but that VT
profess too much. We regard it as sort
Of humiliation TO acknowledge lIlnt WI
cannot always cure diseases. forgetting
that in many other sciences mankind have
made no greater advanc IS than ourselves.
and are still upon the thr, shold Of tnei
respective structures. Medical assump-
ton may W.ll feel Eumbled by the most
insignificant disease Of the human body
Take, for example a common furuncuus
or boil. No physician can. by any inter
nal treatment, produce it when it does not
exist No physici IN can, by any science,
explain it, and say why it came on oue
limb and not upon another. No phys,-
clan can, hy any art. cure it, after it has
arrived at u certain hight. No physician
can. by any art. delay or retain it after
it has passed the climax assigned 10 II by
nature. And what is true in regard to a
boil is equally true Of common pheumon

between Governor Brown and Parson

JUICE HovEY, is nominated for Con-
gress by the Rockport Democrat. We
have no doubt OF his election if he should
be a candidate. But we would rather
see him in the seat Of one Of the spuri-
Gus Senators who are retained in their
places as reward for betraying their
constituents, and abettins a fraud and
an outrage upon the people Of a territory.
The Democrat says:
Spencer county stood by Judge Hovey last
year, before the Nominating Convention, and
she will stand by him again this summer.
We hoist the name of Alvin Z. Hovey, as
the choice of the indomitable and anti-Lc-
compton Democracy Of Spencer County, as 4
Candidate for Congress, and we assure our
friends that he will be the next Congressman
from the LIST District. And we further assert,
that when elected, as he riU be, he will never
betray his trust, a. the bidding of Presidents
or others. He will stand as the granite
rocks OF New Ham pshire, for the rights and
wishes of his noble constituency. No sickly
cry of srpedieacy, can lead him from the plain
and beaten track of Democracy and the rights
Of American freemen. We know Judge
Hovcy too well, to believe he would ever
stand upon the floor of Congress and vote fol
the kingly doctrine of "the right of minor
ity to rule in this land He stands with
masses, and will defend their rights, 10 de-
eide for themselves, Mt the ballot-box, what
constitutions and laws they will have to gov
ern them.

but the corporation is now in the hands of
leading members of both parties. A great
many people of the State want the legisla-
ture TO repeal the charter, a thing which can
never be done without an amendment of the
Constitution of the United States, and a re-
