Do Human Bodies PetrifH z

@@e-A~NA %-AAALo \ GlAAAN
The wife Of George Bennett Of Wa
terford died in 1854, at the age Of As |
years, and was put In the cemetery in
that town. Last week her coffin was
removed to the cemetery in st Johns
bury. The coffin was so heavy that
it required -four men to carry it, and
on being opened the body was found
in a petrifled state. The head, arms
and feet were gone, but the legs and
body were in perfect form and as hard
as granite, and being touched with a
hammer gave sharp ringing sound.
Union.
We think in justice to the reading
community the above should be cor
rccted. For more than so years the
combined efforts of scientists have
failed to find THE leas portion of the
soft part of any warm blooded animal
that has been petrified. Our reason
ing powers teach us to believe that
man would be the last in that class to
petrify, as his flesh more readily
passes into decay. The testimony OF
two respected citizens of st. Johns.
bury to the petrifaction of Mr.. Tres
colt, should be within the memory Of
all, and their dismay at his second
dlsinterment, when it was found that
his body had been preserved in that
waxy adipocere state, without any in
dication of petrifacton. 1t will GER
tainly be remembered by several citi-
zcns there present. / have i'll person
investigated several cases even where
reliable witnesses in other matters,
would under oath swear to their petri-
faction, and all were simply remarka-
BILE states of preservation from the adj
ipocere process. That this may be
more fully understood, l will state
that adipocere is waxy substance of
light cream color into which the fat
and muscular tiberc of dead animals
are sometimes converted, by long i'm
mersion in water, Or by burial in moist
places, in early spring, or in wet sea-
sons.
This substance was first discovered
ami described in 1897, and decays in
a few hours upon exposure to the at
mosphere. 1t may be artifcially
formed in few days by immersion Of
bits of flesh in solution of picric acid,
or even in spirits. But as yet it is a
safe conclusion to report the truth,
that no soft part of any human body
has ever been found petrifed; yet
such petrifactions have been assidu-
ously sought after for many years.
Thousands of cases in different parts
of the globe, under the most favorable
circumstances for petrifaction, have
been investigated, and all found npon
such investigation to be adipocere.
Pretended pctrifactiono have been OK
hibited, but they were always statutes
cut from stone by some ingenlou
rogue that wished to humbug some.
body, and was too often successful
for u time, as with the Cardiff giant
and so-called Indian boy, recently ex.
hibited in several large places in New
England. If Mrs. Bennett was thus
petrifed, that petrifaction would bring
more than its weight in gold, and il
would require body-guard, even in
the quiet town of st. Johnsbury to
keep it buried. Such a specimen
placed in the British museum would
be valued higher than the crown jew.
els, and would be o relic more rare
than anything that exists on earth,
Truly Yours,

Among the other international trials
of strength and skill, there has recent
ly been a wrestling match between
Mcmahon of New York, the champi-
on wrestler of fine United States, and
Copeland of Canada, for $4,000, side
and the championship of the world.
The trial came off at Troy, N. Y,
Mcmahon being the successful man.
The matter created much interest
among the sporting fraternity and the
betting was very heavy. The match
lasted one hour and half, Copeland
being thrown twice and Mcmahon
once.

The Old Blue Spelling Book.

What vivid memories of youthful
days rush over the mind as We take
up the familiar old blue spelling-book
of Webster, and read again those old
stories of "The Boy that stole the
Apples" "The Country Maid and
her Milk-pail," 1.-The Two Dogs"
''The Cat and the Rat" ETC., which
comprised our chef stock of litera-
ture, and with each of which, with its
sage moral we were deeply impressed {!
How we wavered in our sympathy
between the old man and the young
sauce-box in the tree; how we re.
solved to profit by the folly of the
country maid while trying to suppress
our greif at her misfortune in spill
ing her milk, so graphically portrayed
in the picture how we regretted the
fate of poor Tray, who was so incon-
siaerate in choosing his companions !;
and how we wondered at the sagac-
ity of that certain cat" which "play-
ed it" on the rats in ga way they de-
spised /" There is strange charm
that still fingers around these old
tales chat Is Understandable, and we Of
ten get out the old blue book to con
them over again and revel in the
weird ianeies OF childhood days.
Though transplanted from their
"native heath" in the attempt to re-
produce them here, still, the famil-
lar words bring up recollections that
reflect, in distinct outlines, the scenes
associated with the eompanionship OF
the old "spelling-book" at school
So we give as sample the story OF
1.-THE COUNTRY MAID. AND HER MILK
PAIL"
"When men suffer their magma
ton to amuse them with the prospect
of distant and uncertainimprovements
of their condition, they frequently
sustain real losses, by their inaten-
ton to those affairs in which they are
Immediately concerned.
A country maid was walking very
deliberately with pail of milk on
her head, when she fell into the fol-
lowing reflections: The money for
which l shall sell this milk will ena-
BILE me to increase my stock Of eggs
to three hundred. These eggs, allow
ing for what may prove addle, and
what may be destroyed by vermin, will
produce at least two hundred and fif-
ty chickens. The chickens will be
fit to carry to market about Christ
mas, when poultry always bears a
good price; so that by May-day 1
cannot rail of having money enough
to purchase "a new gown. Green !
let me consider-yes green becomes
my complexion best, and green it
shall be. In this dress l will 60 to
the fair, where all the young fellows
will strive to have me for a partner !;
but l shall perhaps refuse every one
of them, anu with an air of disdain,
toss from them. Transported with
this triumphant thought, she could
not forbear acting with her head what
thus passed her imagination, when
down came the pail of milk, and with
it all her imaginary happiness"
