(.h,erreer says : A Fauquir cor. responlent has written us a letter from which we give the following current facts About. thirty five years ago, a lady was interred at Elk Run Church, in a heavy black walnut. coflin. The earth wherein her body was depoaited w(e.dry and )elloo, as it. is for the most part in that locality. Of two bodies burled in the same grave. thi' lady's was laid deepest in the grittnd, an. there being occasion to i"rtove the bodies owing to the destruction of the grave yardi enclosure by the Federal army, the grav. was dug up nnew : but to the surprise of, tha digger, when h1e had removed ilhue upet colin, he perceived a quaantiay of hair, taat had mado its way through the slits and crev. ices of the coflin. The lid being taken otl, there appefired a perfect resemublanoe of a human figure; the eyes, the ,nose, mouth, ears, and all other parts, being very dis. tinct, but from the crown of the head to the soles o' tle feet, it. was covered with very long, thick and frizzled hair. Tte gravd digger after examining it for sometime, hap peneel to touch lie upper part of lie head hut. was move suarpri,ed ahan before. ,mt seeing ilie entire body shrink, and nothing at last remained in Iis.hanl hut. a bundle of rough hair, wtuich inscnsibly assumed a brownish red colur. Professor Rawls is of the opinion that hair, wool. featthors, nails. hurus, teeth. &c., are nothing but vegetables, and that it is not, therefore. surprising t. see them grow on liodies.a atimaailr after their death. ltd goes so far si" to say these productions may be Iransplanted ns iegdtables, and may grow on a different plhtde f'ron that where they first germinatet.
