PETn1rAcr1oSs.-W were given yesterday, By
Mr. .. Y. Ameraon, a number of very culio us
pJtrifactinns They were picked up by MIR. Amer
son in Floyd county, Georgia, and about q mile
and IL half from Floyds Spring. The specimens
before lis consist OF several beech blooms, per-
fecty petriied, yet still retaining their perfect
form, pieces OF tSiSs and roots aud fragments OF
penchstone.' These are MI bard rs rock, and have
every appearance OF mineral substances, except
in shape.
These formations, wo are informed, abound i'll
certain portions of this county. II seems tist
every tWig or bloom, or whatever other substance
falls to tho ground undersoes petrfcatlon 1t ~
evident that there is something i'll the soil-some
agency which cxcrts this singular influence. Tho
ground where these fossils are found is not hunlli
but, on the contrary, it is elevated and dry.

him.-AUuntU NeeD Era.

believed that their disease was more cholefa NOR
