NOT PETRlFlED.
The Woman Recently Found in Marsh in
Orange County.

Burlington, Nov lit is probable
that the socalled petrifed body of a
woman, found in the town of Washing
ton, Orange county, was not a petri-
faction but case of the formation of
adipocere. The fatty portions of the
body of an adipose person, buried in
wet ground under certain conditions
of the soil, occasionally become chang
ed into waXy substance, resembling
spermaceti, commonly of light brown
color.
The flesh so changed retains its
form, seems hard looks like marble,
and nine times out of ten is supposed
by uniformed persons to have been
changed into stone. The substance is
called adipocere, word formed from
two Latin words meaning fat and wax.
1t will remain in the ground in which
it is formed for many years without
decay.

The gentleman from Peru yesterday

is in line with several of the other
states Mr. Fits OF Brattleboro want
ed a referendum in order to get at the
sentiment of the people.
Action on this was completed at $3.50
and as there was no objection the bill
increasing the salary of stale supe rim
tendent of education from $1,000 to
g, 900 which was set for 4 O'Clock was
discussed. This was supported by Mr.
Dart of Springfield, its author, by
Mr. O'Brien of South Burlington, by
Mr. Grant of Derby and others. II
was moved to dismiss the bill and Mr.
Graves Of Bennington gave notice
that should it not be dismissed that
he would move to amend it making the
salary $500. The result of the aye
and nay vote on the question of dis
missal was yes 1l9 no SO.

al of amendment which strikes out the

ried free has for many years has been
limited. first to 200 pounds. and later
to $50 pounds. 1t has been possible,
however, for a passenger to carry as
much more as he pleaseS by the pay

about two thirds Of regular express

rule in preference to paying the high
