Colonel Jones was born in Montgomery county, iu 1S19, studied law with Ex-Attorney General Meredith, and in 1856 represented his county iu Congress. Early in 1801 he organized a company of cavalry, and after his command was attached to tho regiment, he became in turn major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel. Phtkikiku Human; Bodiks A correspondent of the Boston Journal writes from Pittsford, that two petrified corpsee have been disinterred from the burial ground The soil of thjs burial ground is of a moist, gravelly jtarfl pan, with no indications of any foreign or peculiar mineral substance- The two cases reported are the only ones yet discovered, though over seventy-five bodies have been removed from thesame locality within tho past seven years.

Mrs. Lincoln, wife of the lato John II. Lincoln, of Pittsford, died from the rupture of a blood vessel in the year 1852. In October, 1803, the body was disinterred for' tiro purpose of depositing it in the new cemetery, when it was discovered to be in a state of perfect petrification, and so -solid as to resist several hsrd.bjpws by a heavy hammer. I he appearance of the body and features was very natural, with the exception of the eyes, which were entirely obliterated, lcaying the sockets empty.

I lie hair was ot the -same color and apparent flexibility as when first buricil the color of the body of a light, yellowish white, and so perfect in all respects as to be easily made stand on its feet. The remains when interred were dressed. black silk, and when disinterred a black mould completely covered the surface, but was easily brushed ofl, revealing what appeared to bo a perfect marble 5 statue. Mrs. Penfield, wife cf the lato Sturgis Xenfield, of Pittsford, after 'a sickness of throe days with dysentery, died and was buried in the same ground iu the year 1854, was taken up for removal last spring, and was found to be in the same state of petrification as Mrs.

Lincoln, with the of thejiesh on her fingers, which had decayed eh-tirely off, leaving the bones ot the fingers the same as the rest of the body entirely petrified. Capital Punisumb'st im Japan. sTho Japanese punish murder by decapltaf iori; parricide and other such heinous crimes by crucifixion. A prisoner sentenced to death is taken to the place of execution, surrounded by the officers," and having hung around his neck "plabarl giving his namo, age and rank, with His crime and sentence. After execution his head is "left suspended tn sight for three days with the placard still hanging to it Arson is punished by burning" at the stak'e, yeti s6 enforced, this penalty does not bring a very painful death.

The criminal is first kept on a very short allowance of food for some time. Then before being taken out for execution, he, is overfed" on rich'ind higlily fcpjced yi-ands, till he becomes stupid arid indifferent. He is fastened to the stake and wood and light materials are heaped about him.

In tbe days of the Old Brewery, at the five Points, New York," a woman and her only daughter, a child of fire years of age, occupied a loathsome 1 cornet 6f tho rst floor. It was the ciwiom of the after covering the child with the rags which had been collected during the day, to place a few broken board, dignified by tho title of a door, in such a position as probably kept the borriblH place half a degree warmer than it would have been without a shelter. On one occasion, after the mother' had adjusted the boards for tho night, the child, probably experiencing some sensations of com fort, said "Mother, what does poor people do that's got no door to Jfer them."
