the digger, when he had removed the uprcTN
coffin, he perceived quantity OF hair, that
had made its way through the Sits and crew
there appeared n perfect resemblance of
human figure, tho eyes, the nose, mouth,
ears, and all other parts, being very dis.
tinct, but from the crown Of the head TO tho
solcs Of the feet, it was covered with very
long, thick and frizzlcd hair. The grave
digger after examining il for sometime, hap
pcnc'l to touch the upper part of the head
but was more surprised than before. IN
seeing tho entire body shrink and nothing
at last remained in his hand but bundle of
rough hair, which inscnsibiy assumed
brownish rcd color.

hair. wool, feathers, nails. horns. teeth,
&c., arc nothing but vegetables, and that it
is not, therefore. surprising tn see them
grow on bodies of animals after their death.

may be transplaned as Vegetables, and may
grow on different placc from that where
