red for the purr e rfimri.il in another place, and it was found to have passed

tilo a stale of complete petrifaction, and is believed to remain in that state of preservation until this dy. The features of hi face were as unchanged as on the day ofhis intermect. A similar cne of a petrified human bo ty was discovered in Bourbon county. Kentucky, some years ag: a mariied woinin who hid been buried mire than ten

Ter. when she wa disinterred, in order

to burv a sisler in the same grave, it was

.-.found that the cotpse wa perfectly petrifled, and as hnrd as a rock! The cause of this wonderful petrifaction was owing to a running spring of water under the coffin, which had encircled the bod , and

urever.ted corruption. The husband of

A letter from Oporto, written by a gentleman who, has frequent opportunities of seeing Don Pedro,and of witnessing the mode in which he passes his. time, tjives the following account: "Don Pedro is certainly a very extraordinary mai, although I cannot call him a great man. He rises early in the
