A Pair OF Twins Buried Together
One Becomes Petrified While the
Other IL Entirely Gone.

Some three years ago Mr.. Robert Nc
Clcllan. resident of North Fayette
township this county, buried two very
interesting little girls, twins, aged about
three wears. The children took sick and
died about three days apart, and were
buried side by side. Last week Mr.. Nc
Cleland came to the conclusion that he
would remove the children to another part
of the cemetery, and after raising one
of the children the coffin was opened,
and it was found that the
remains of the little girl had almost en-
tirely disappeared, andproceeded to RAISE
the second child, when it was found that
the coffin was unusually heavy for a
child of that age and on opening the
coffin it was found that the child was
petrifed into solid stone. Its little
cheeks were as sound and perfect, as
when living. Those who saw It, state
that il had not changed in the least, the
mouth, nose and other features being full
and perfect. 1t is certainly one of those
strange freaks which nature occasionally

whether Mr.. Sanders thought of that official al
the time. That the people of Benton township
regret the escape of the man referred to, no per-
son here doubts, and Mr. Sanders simply used
that blundrr us an illustration of people, i'll
