TURNED TO STONE AFTER LYING IN THE
GRAVE FORTY YEARS.
Raleigh Observer.

Raleigh Observer.
Asheville, N. c., Dec. rs, 1877
1t is fact not generally known,
that the cemetery of the Methodist
Church in Hendersonville, N. c.,
contains petrified human body.
About the year 1886 Miss Adelaide
Byers lived with her father, Fran
els G. Byers, fifteen miles south of
this place, in Henderson county.
She was a bright, sweet girl, much
beloved by all who knew her, and
her hand was sought in marriage
even before she was of marriage
able age. AT last she was Won by
William Pinkney Murray, whom
she had known long and well.
Soon the nuptials were celebrated,
and the bride and bridegroom set
out in search of q now country,
following the setting sun to the
Mississippi Valley. There they
located and began the journey OF
life together in real earnest. Pros
perity and happiness came to them,
until at an unexpected moment
death cut down Mrs. Murray in
the very prime of life. The dis
consulate widower, consigning the
body of his deceased wife to the
dust, as he supposed, sought "sur-
cease of sorrow" in the wilds of
Texas. A few years afterward,
DIR. Josiah johnson, intending to
return to North Carolina, whence
he had removed with his brother
in-law, Mr.. Murray disinterred the
body of Mrs. Murray for the pur-
pose of carrying it back with him.
Imagine how amazed he was to
find it in the coffin just as he had
seen it there years before. The
same features-almost the very
same expression. But what he
saw was not fssh-it was solid
stone. The whole body had petri-
fed. In that condition he carried
it to North Carolina, and delivered
it to the aged father, Mr.. Byers,
who could hardly doubt that his
daughter had come home to him
asleep! The news spread that
Adelaide's body had been turned
into rock" and great was the
desire of everybody to see it. At
tempts were made, it is said, to
steal it out of the cellar where the
old gentleman had carefully con-
cealed it; but they were upsuecess-
full. All through the war it was
guarded by the father as the most
sacred trust, but few persons being
allowed to SEQ it. About six years
ago, however, it was quietly buried
in the Methodist Cemetery at Hen
Jacksonville, where, it is hoped, it
will be permitted to rest until the
Resurrection morn"

THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR
has been published continuously since
1843-no other agricultural publication
in the Cotton States has such record.
1t has not been sustained through To-
cal or State pride, but circulates uni
formly in all the States, from North
Carolina to Texas iuclusive.
1t has not been borne down by the
panic-has not grown weak with age,
but is still strong in the estimation OF
its patrons.
1t is an honest paper-does not seek
popularity by trying to sail with the
wind, but strives to present truths,
whether palatable or not. Offers no
chromos or other wonderful things, and
rejects at great pecuniary sacrifice, oil
advertisements which are calculated to
deceipe or to fleece the people.
1t does not fill up its pages with pic
lures, aohich teach nothing, (cuts of which
can be had from advertisers for the
asking but gives full measure in every
number Of sound, practical matter.
Its Inquiry Department is more ex-
tended and varied by far than that of
any other paper. Innumerable ques-
tions touching every day farm matters,
are answered by farmer correspondence,
or by the Editor
The Editor, 10 student Of Science oil
his life, gives as much of Science as is
consistent with Practice, realizing thor
oughly as he does, that science pushed
too far, will do incalculable injury.
| 1t is admitted on all hands. that the
Cultivator is thoroughly practical pa
per, and is not q mere companion, got
ten up by one not familiar with the
practical workings of the farm.
1t embraces all departments of Farm
life-Stoek-raising, Dairying, Orchard
