The Harrisburg Patriot state# that
when the lemaitis of Mr. Benjamin
Singerly, formerly State printer of
Pennsylvania, were disinteitd at Pitts
burg, a short time ago, for the purpose
of removal to Philadelphia, they were
found to have undergone petrification.
The entire face and form seemed as If
chiseled in marble, every feature and
lineament being as perfect in life Mr.
Sirguriy weighed at the tune of hts
doaifc, some two years ago. nearly 400
pounds, but the i>eirified corpee weighed
jxuinvls. and a block and tackle were
f necessary to ral.-e it from the
grave.

A Pre-Historic Race.
Many curious discoveries fcuvt* bee R
made in . ,c belt that stretches fron. th ■
1 scihe to the Great American Desert,
but what follows ap;tears to l>e new in
the aatliro|toiogy of the country : A
resident of Richmond, Grant county,
New Mexico, recently bad occasion to
d '** the he
caine upon the ruins of an adoBe strue
ture, and six feet further clown unearthed
two skeletons, one that of a Child and
the other that of a full-grown person.
The remarkable thing about the adult
skeleton was a protuberance, larger than
^ hen's egg and more oblong m shape,
which was fastened like a born to tlm
brick part of the skull. On the child’s
s,£ ’ ,,l was a similar, but smaller, growth.
Both skeletons were taken from niches
in a stone wall. The Grant county
Urruhl is inclined to think that the
whole pre-lust >ric race to which the
specimens belong had the
a sort of rear nose done up in bone.
