In a number of cmcs the dead soldier wa.s found almost in the speaking attitude of life. A pa.ssat»e in l>r. Armand s re port .says: A Hungarian llll.^3a^, killed at the same mo ment with his hor.'e, was only slightly moved in his saddle, anti sat tlu^re dead, holding the point of i*i.+sabr; in advance, in the position ui charging. A parallel ca.se occurred iii the death o! an Aus trian artillery man. * Thi>.se H^ouuCted iu the htiad, it was remarked, generally leli with faoi,* and ab domen flat to the ground.

A let ter in the New‘York Journal of t’ommorce says: On that bloody field, when the carnage was over, a soldier was found standing, his legtt tjome- wh«t spread apart, aud his arms thrown convul sively outward, his posture that ot a living ntan, agitated, perhaps, by k vtry strong emotion; he was nevartheleas stone dead, a ghastly monument of seeming life along side the hecatomb of fallen corpses. Another body lay partially prostrated on one side, tbe right hand holding to the mouth a piece of cheese, which the set teeth were al most in the act of graKping. Lying upon the back, with the arms extended, aud the knees drawn up towards the face, was a posture fre quently to be bb.scrved on this as well as other } fields.
