Dead Changed to Adipocera.

/ The n. Y. Evening Post says: A SEM
salion was created some DAYS since in the
vicinity of Potter's Field, st the discovery
of body which had undergone remark
able transformation. The body had lain
under three tiers of eorpses. and the head
and feei had disappeared, while the res
naming portion, which was somewhat
enlarged above It's natural dimensions
presented the appearance of wax of an
ala baster whiienesS. In short, the whole
muscular structure had been changed IN

MA and lime. which are derived from he
elements of the body.
Attention was first called 10 this sin,ru-
/ lar transformation OF bodies near the end
of the last century. upon The occasion Of
the removal Of the remains from the
churchyard of Les Inocens. in Paris

to have been transmitted into an uncluous
substance, gray, and with a peculiar but
not highly offensive smell. They had
been deposited In pits about thirty feet
deep capable of holding from twelve to
fifteen hundred, and the transformation
had taken place according to the length
of time they had been deposited. twas

the centre of the pits, which had been
buried at least three years, every part
except the bones, hair and nails. had

remaining was found, both lis physical
and chemical properties, resembling sper-

II was formerly supposed that no such

was soon discovered TO be untenabie. A
body, which had been inferred during
the civil wars of the Houses of York and

years since, which appeared TO be in d
state of remarkable preservation, the
flesh retaining the plumpness of life. 1t

them The impetus which the boat hae
acquired caused it 10 drift slowly beneath
the rock, aud just as il was fairly below
! forth came the doomed words: "Cu

Each boy pushed his rock at that In
slant, and. with one impulse, the gigantic
stones fell. A loud shrek from the dark
waters told how well Ilhe piap had-sueceed-
cd, and when -sslc exuitant bows again
looked over the rock, nothing was seen
but a few pieces of floating wood. The
boat had been burst to pieces, and the oc-
cupants had found grave at the bottom
of the White-clay. a cry Of victory
burst from the joyous lips of the youthful
patriots, and II was echoed along the old
creek in solemn granduer.
Now for our prisoner" cried Frank
Howard, bounding ahead; but what was
the astonishment Of The BOYS to find that,
in effort to free himself, George Livings-
ton had been caught by the fatal cord and
choked TO death! There was no time for
repining the traitor and his son had met
one to mourn their loss.
Such be the end of Americas foes
forever" said James Wilson.
Old Livingston's house was searched,
and to the surprise of every one, not
merely guns, but three brass field pieces,
several barrels of powder, and an abun-
dance of balls, etc, were found concealed
IN the Tory's cellar. The military stores
found here were given over to the Amer
lean troops, and found a joylal welcome
at headquarters. Had not the British
party been so signalIy defeated along the
banks Of the White-clav, the town of
Newark, and the whole northern part Of
the State of Delaware would have been
overrun by predatory parties of British
soldiers. James Wilson and Frank How
ard both joined the army of Green, and
served with distinction ia the Southern
campaigns. Frank fell at the memora-
BE baule of Eutaw Springs, bewailed by
all who knew him. James Wilson lost a
leg at the siege of Yorktown, ard retired
to his native village, but modification en-
sued, and he expired with the ever-to-be
remembered worGs on his lips: "Cut
loose, In the name Of Liberty :"
The village of Newark sull stands, and
hns become a town of some celebrity
The scene of the defeat of the British By
the hands of the boy-pariois is still point
ed out; and it Is ? sacred spot in the an
nails Of Newark.
Such, reader, were the acts of the boys
of g rs )" and though they have no mon
umenlal pile to preserve their memories,
they live in legends, songs and verse,
where they will exist when history has
been swept into obscurity.
