The RESURRECTION PLANT-Erhibition Of
an Aquatic Wonder. = The resurrection
plant was exhibited some years ago by
Nicholas Longworth, Esq, for some benevo-
lent purpose, and it then attracted an i'm
mense crowd. A distinguished lady, whose
brother sent her specimen of this rare
plant from the pearl-fisheres of our South
ern continent, has kindly offered it for exhi-
bition this evening, December 20, at 0ddfel-
lows Hall, in Covington.
A second plant of this kind in possession
of the same family, will be shown at the
same time, that the dead and living condi-
tiOn may enable every one 20 appreciate the
extraordinary wonder of the sudden change
from death to life, made by this most singu-
lar aquatic plant.
This wonder of the vegetable world, when
torn from its native rocks, and carried far
away from the refreshing waters in which
it loves to display its living beauties, when
seemingly dried up, discolored and dead,
rolled into crisped ball Of f3Cous roots and
tangled branches, after manly years of a
deaih-like state, at the will of its possessor,
may be suddenly revived. 1t will stretch
forth its roots, expand its branches resume
its brighter colors, and again revel in its
long lost life, on being immersed for few
hours in tepid water.
1t will be exhibited for the benefit of the
sick and poor of our city, and we earnestly
hope the object, combined with its remark
abla properties, may be sufficient to attract
a large crowd of spectators.
