"wonderful discovery.
Dr. Sylvester, an Italian by birth, and
an eminent chemist, has discovered a mode
of hardening the human body to the consis
tency of stot eor solid marble, which he is
about to exhibit in London. His specimens
have excited great astonishment. ' One was

dressed, retaining its flexible properties and
grew resembled atone somewhat like a
wax model also a child's head, plump and
as in life, and a tongue petrified as if it nev
er uttered a sound. , The petrifying process
is said to be simple and cheap. A boquet
of choice flowers the juices first extract
ed by a pneumatic process preserved their
natural colors, but were as hard and rigid as
., if some cunning workman had carved them
from Parian marble fornot only the leaves
and petals were rendered stone-like, but
the minute hair formed stems were rendered
coraline. "j"' ";; -'

both supposed to contain , the latter. He
took, in the evming, a small quantity of

REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA.
Oar reader were msde acquainted week
since with the fact that the Clony of Li

and in'eresiingaecftunta of the organisation

The Washington eorrepondent of the
Philadelphia American makes the following
statement: ' "
llie Hon. J. R, Poinsett formerly Sec
retaire of War, uhequently Minister to
Mexico, and withal a pure and patent
Democrat, has recently written" here that
the attempt to sustain our rmy by contri
bution derived from the cite run I and in
ternsl commrc of Mexico will pros ri
diculous snd futile, : Few men in the
conniry have devoted more attention to the
condition snd affairs f Mexico than Mr.
Poinsett, and few nndeistand the true char
acter of her people more thoroughly than
he does. His opinion, tberelofeT fonsider"
ed in connection with his long residence in
Mexico snd hi acknowledged ability is
worthy of some attention, and if it be not
treason to say so, is perhaps a l'ttle more
to bo respected dian that of Mf. James K
Polk. ' . ::
, AN IMPORTANT HINT.
It is known, that there has been for two
or three years past, an uttti-ual amount of
sickness in the op-country, which ha not
been satisfactorily trsred to sny . particular
canse. - A very intelligent gentleman, of
extensive observation, inform us, that ke
lias no doubt it has been produced by the
immense number of dead Oak Trees stand
ing on every Plantation; and that there
will be no doorcase ufaxkness, until they
are eat down and burnt up. He -i. him
self, acting on this opinion, and is CHiting
down and burning the dead timber on bis
farm.' As we hsve never, before, heard
thia cause assigned, w have thought We
might subterv the causa of humanity, by
mentioning it. Register

them when ws think the will be. produc

to follow in th wake of many other polit

who differ with us. It is considered a
breach of g'lod manners to apply a name of
term rto an individual that he dislikes.
How much greater then, the impropriety
01 applying en epithet r term of reproach
to a large rclsss s of-individual! Those
