noticed an pld maid who was intimate . "s
mother, and' who, we learn; had never been
made so happy as to have1 a beau. Her age
was fifty; her native lar:J. England. Our
youngster determined that 'As would' court
this old maid, and for this purpose procured a
suit of English breeches,1 a wig," and other
things to suit u disguise of a young bachelor
of fifty I . Thus metamorphosed into a spruce
old man, he opproached thi old maid, and
by his V vity of marker and changed but
winning voice, completely' succeeded ia mak
ing love to her, without the"(ieast suspicion, of
his family. - She returned his caresses and
kisses in a most perfect -frenzy of delight!
Never before in all her bd-n eJays had she felt

wia, closed his earthly career, in tho
of a happy immortality. On the folio.
oay an appropriate funeral discourse was de.
livered by Elder W. Clark. ; His remains
were decently interred in thegrave'yard near
West Lebanon. Some limo previous to his
his death, he had expressed a'desire that the
body of his first wife sho Jd be" removed to
this grave yard. .Accordingly, .on the 24lbJ
ut;, the citizens of Lebanon and the vicinity.
undertook to remove, the remains of Mrs!
Erwin. . We found it upon a Very high point
of, white oak ground, near rock creek, where
they had formerly lived.; And when ' we had
opened the grave down to the coffin we found
it abvut;one.fourih in water,1 and the plank of
the coffin very rotten ; however,' we 'got sev.
pieces 'of bark under: ft, to bind it together
and lift it out... From the great "weight of the
coffin, we were curious to -see it opened; -and
to our utter astonishment, there lay tho body
in full size!, h,wa8 covered with a thin scum
of black . dirt.'. which anneared-to he' nlivft
with very little worms of a yellow color, but
they ; soon disappeared, when exposed to the
air. When we came to examine'rnore close,
ly, we found that the body had petrified, and
became a smooth white limestone in appear.
ance. the head and. neck had rvtrififJ nnA
noth;. ; remained but the naked bone, and the"
hairs of: the head, and some feathers which
had been m a pillow. Herarms are petrified.
at the elbow joint, . nothing remained of the
lower part of the arms and hands but the na
ked bones. The feet had also petrified, and
ion 011 ai me aniiie joint; and the stone ap
peared shelly." Atth'e "knee joints the" fess
appeared to be solid, stone. , Aronnd each
leg,., where she wore her . garters being a
very fleshy woman the garters had made a
very deep - impression," and this' impression
was plainly vUible in jhe stone except some
pans where ;t appeared solid, --The thickness
of the stone was about that of Spanish sole
leather. j ;'
