REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF PETRIFAcTIoN.-
About six years ago Mr.. Amos Broughton
died in Wayne county, in this State, and was
buried there After his death his widow and
children moved to Buskirk's Bridge, in this
county. where they now reside. few days
ago the family of the deceased resolved to
bring the remains Of the father from Wayne
county and have them deposited in ceme-
tery near their present residence. In furthe-
ance of this purpose the grave was opened
and the coffin exposed, but all ordinary efforts
to lift it from its position proved Intellectual.
The coffin was, therefore, removed, when it
was found that the body was in the most per-
feet state of petrifaction. IL was covered
with dry mould, which, when removed. re-
yealed a surface almost as white and pure as
marble. The body showed not the least par
ticle of decay. Every feature and lineament
was perfectly preserved, and when stood up
right it presented the appearance of finely
chiseled statue. When Mr. Broughton died
he weighed about two hundred pounds, while
the remains had increased in weight by pet
riiaetion to eight hundred pounds. Before
the BODY was inferred at Buskirk it was seen
by the family, friends and many others there.
it is the most perfect and wonderful instance
of retrifaction of human remains that has
ever come to our knowledge.-Troy Press.

attacked by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed loathsomc and viruent
SORE which covered his face, and actually blinded
his eyes for some days A sklful physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
apparent effect For fifteen days we guarded his
hands, lest with them he should tear open the fes
tering and corrupt wound which covered his whole
face. Having tried every thing else we had any
hope from, we began giving your SARsAPARILLA,
and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you
direct. The sore began to heal when we had given
the first bottle, and well when had finished
the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come
out, grew again, and he is now healthy and fair
