REMARKABLE CASE OF PETRIFlcArIoy.-
About six years ago, Mr.. Amos Brou sh-
ton 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. A few days ago the family of the
diseased resolved to bring the remains of
the father from Wayne county, and have
them deposited in the cemetery near their
present residence. In furtheranco 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 lid was therefore removed when
it was found that the body was in the
most perfect state of petrifcation. 1t was
covered with a dry mould, which, when
removed, revealed surface almost as
white and pure as marble. The body
showed not the least particle of decay
Every feature and lineamcnt was perfectly
preserved, and when stood upright, it
presented the appearance of q finely CHS
eled statue. When Mr.. Brou ghton died,
he weighed about two hundred pounds
Before the body was inferred at Buskirk
it was seen by the family, friends, and
many others there. 1t is the most per-
feet and wonderful instance of petriication
OF human remains, that has ever come to
our knowledse.-iiom tie Troy Press,

A curious matrimonial affair has recent
ly transpired in Brooklyn. Ten years ago
a couple, recently married, moved from
Boston to the City of Churches, where the
husband set up in business and prospcred.
His business at his Office was better than at
home, for his married life was unhappy,
and about five years ago the parties man
aged to secure a divorce. They gradually
lost sight of each other, and during the
past year each of them married, and each
to person who had been divorced. The
two husbands were thrown together, with.
out knowing their real relations to each
other, and a few weeks ago the one who
had married the divorced woman invited
the other home to dinner. Imagine the
the embarrassment when the happy hus-
band introduced his wife to his friend.
Both were too well bred to have scene.
and so the dinner passed off somewhat
frigidly, but with no actual unpleasantness
The recipient of the dining courtesy invi-
ted the other to go home with him soon
after and partake of family dinner,
little thinking, as it happened, that he was
to return the compliment in every partic-
ular. 1t turned out that each had married
the divorced spouse of the other, and it
was more satisfactory to them to know
that each was entirely pleased with the
arrangement. So much for the intricacies
of matrimony.

A writer in the Ladies' Repository, in
giving geological description and proba-
BILE origin of the prairies, and who claims
to have formed his theories on personal
observation, says there are no prairies
west of the Mississippi river. His theory
would not admit of it. Western men Of
less scientific knowledge think differently,
however.-Nuscatine Journal.
We "should say so'' on the last sentence.
1t does not surprise us that book geologi-
ans and all other scientific fly leaves would
mistake, but it is strange that man hay-
ing anything to do with a newspaper and
particularly with SO excellent one as the
Repository should allow such innocent ig-
norance to pass inspection. "No prairies
west Of the Mississippi River" Guess

When the PLANTATION BlTTERs were
first made known to the American people
some seven years ago, it WIS supposed
they were an entirely new thing, and had
never before been used. So far as their
general US in the United States is con-
cened, this may be true. 1t is also true
that the same Bitters were made and sold
in the Island Of st. Thomas over forty
years ago, as any old planter, merchant or
sea captain doing business with the West
Indies will tell you. 1t is distinctly with
in my recollection that on the return of
my father (who was sea captain, and
doing an extensive trade in the tropics
he would invariably have the Bitters
among the ships stores, and our family
sideboard was never without them. For
any sickness, it matters not how severe
or trifling, the decantcr of these Bitters,
by q different name, was always resorted
to as a sovereign remedy.

DEBORAH has had fire. From the
Democrat of the 4th, we clip:

Democrat Of the 4th, we clip:
Friday morning, about 3 o'clock, a. M,
fire was discovered issuing from between
the buildings near Mr.. Goadards resi-
dence, one occupied as Paint Shop, and
the other by Mclaughlin & Coughlin, as
shoe shop. The wind being from the
south at the time, the flames spread rap
idly, communicating with Herreid's shoe
shop, and Treat & Smiths bakery, which
were soon in blaze, despite the exertions
of our citizens to save them. Sparks
flew lively for awhile, endangeriDg the
north side Of Water street, but the indie
fatigable efforts of the citizens prevented
them from igniting the buildings.
Tho loss falls heaviest on the painters
and Mclaughlin & Coughlin, who did not
save a scrap of any thing. lIerried saved
a good portion of his stock, and so did
Treat & Smith.
Treat & Smith were insured in the Miss
Valley for $500. IIerried was insured
for $500. Mel. & G. $500.
How many "scathings' by fire must our
city endure, before the city purchases a
fire engine? A place of this size ought
surely to contain one company. Even a
hook and ladder company would be of
good service.
To the last paragraph we respond ditto
for McGregor. For years we have urged
the importance of doing something in the
way Of fire prevention, but no move is YET
made. The fire season is approaching
old stoves and cracked old pipes are being
put up in buildings, where single spark
would set the timber agoing, and there is
no public or private way to stop the
flames. Our trust is in the mercy of Cod
and in main strength.
We, individually, have a ladder, and
this isall the BLADDER Company we know
of in the city. We have no public els
terms; no public, and but few private
wells. The season "acts" as though in.
tending to close without a supply Of waite,
for wells and cisterns the city has made
an expensive sewer to carry the water
a,cay, but ''divil the cint' to provide fol
its retention in case of need. We propose
that the Council order three to five al
mighty big cisterns, and have them filled
by the rains or from the River. Select a
Fire Captain in each Ward, whose duty il
shall be to keep lookout for fire; to
explore his Ward, and examine the stove
situation Of cverybody,-but what's the
use Of talking? We arc tired of susges
ting. Insurance agents should see how
stoves are put up this is justice to thei,
Companies. FIRE FIRE!
