A CURIOSITY.

q CURIOsITY.
M. ] L Sawyer living near Panther
Greek, in Graham County, has sent to
Mr.John NJ King of AshevilIe, specimens
ofa form of petrifaction different in
character from any we have ever seen,
Instead Of the woodbeing converted into
silicate, another substance has been
substituted, aluminous or ochrous earth.
The material preserves the form of the
wood showing the progress of each years
growth as dinstinctly as fresh cut
block of oak or pine The color is a
rich reddish brown and texture soft and
yielding. We learn it is found in large
quantities.
