Remark able PetrifactfOn.
rD.t1 w. TIA

A remarkable case of human petrifac
ton w,s discovered at Whitehall few
days since, by some persons who were
transferring the remains of Sally Jucket
from the old to the new burying ground.
She died and was buried twenty-three
years ago, and from snme unknown
cause the remains have petrifed. The
coffin, hair, aud shroud had clumbled
away, but her original form was perfect
with the exception of an indentation
across the chest, caused by portion of
the coffin resting upon it, which was
imbedded in the ches.. Every limb
was as natural and perfect as in life
The hands were laid at the side of the
body, as was necessary in laying it out.
Tne features were regular and perfectly
natural, with the exception of the end
of the nose being absent, while the sock.
cts showed where the eyes had BEEN
The hair was entirely gone, the skull
being bare and smooth as il it had been
shaven Even the fingers and toes were
perfectly shaped, although the nails had
assumed the same appearance in colol
as the rest of the body. What seems
strange is, that when the body wa.
found it rested only on the calves of til,
legs and the back Of the head, as quite
a hollow 81 ace was found beneath tht
body, where the bottom of the cotfil
once rested. The deceased was larg'
woman while living, weighing 2O'
pounds; and it is also curious fac
that the phenomenal specimen weighet
