4 Petrified woman.

There are lots of rare things in Ohio
that have not been dreamed of in your
philosophy. Ohio has the President, his
successor the Chief Justice, General of
the Army, Secretary of the Treasury,
Minister to France, and other honors too
numerous to mention, and now, down ut
Quincy, Shelby county, in that State, q
petrified woman has been discovered.
She IS no Cardiff giant, but Mrs. Kelli-
son. who used to live in Illinois. Five
years ago ut the age of seventy she WIS.,
tied her son, who in duty bound gave a
bountiful dinner in honor OF the event
He says that his mother ate very
heartily, so much so IN fact
that the next day she was taken
suddenly i'll, and after few
hours illness died. Mr.. Kellison, who
is an intellitent farmer, had his mother
buried in limestone gravelly knoll on
his farm. Recently on selling the farm
he was compelled to remove her remains,
when it was discovered that the body had
turned to stone, and it took dozen men
with ropes and pulley to drag the re-
mains from the grave. The old lady was
20 years of age, in good flesh and
weighed about 130 pounds when she
died. When exhumed the petrifaction
was perfect, and the only part of her
body lacking is small portion OF ths
left ala of the nase. The weight OF the
body is now estimated by good judges to
be at least / 600 pounds. The remains
have been laid away in Prospect Grave
yard, Quincy, Ohio, where they now are,
but Mr.. Kellison promised them to Q
scientific gentleman, who intends to pre-
sent them to one of the medical muse
ums of the State.

Extremely silent.

The veraeious Washington corre-
spondent informs that portion of the
American people whose wretched
fate it is to live elsewhere than IN the
National capital, that a genuine
aristocratic society is at last in
process of evolution Id that city. It
is known as the extremely select so
cial circle of the army and navy, and
it has attained to the dignity of one
Distinguishing characteristic. Among
the young women who move in this
select circle it is considered highly
improper TO attend . concert or the
ater, even with ones betrothed,
without the chaperonage of mamma
or maiden aunt A ride alone, or
even a call, without the presence of
