The principal difficulty which attends this supposition is, to account for the great depth of the covering, or to assign a sufficient reason why it should be so much deeper here than it is in uther countries, the same sorts of rocks are found, but remain for ages with out de-compositionJ The following arguments appear to me both to establish the truth of the supposition, and to account for the unusual extent to which the process of decomposition has proceeded.

The following singular case has been com-municated to us for publication. Thefacts, as stated, "niay be relied uponi On the 24th bf October, 1826, about IQ o'clock at night, a Negro Girl belonging to a gentleman of this city, aged about 20 years, of a robust constitution and apparently in perfect health, in consequence of strong excitement, caused from setting up with a black corpse, in company with a large assemblage of colored people, who were singing, 8cc. as is common with these! people on such occasions, fell into a lethargy; from hich she was not roused, notwithstanding the application of blisters, the shower bath of cold water, See. untii.the 31st same mqntiH when she awoke, but could not separate her upper jaw from the lower one, until she was electrified -which' was rish, 6 Scotch, and 4 French.

Hornstone, another very hard mineral which abounds in this state, is usually fou nd inc rusted with a whitish coat, which has resulted from a decomposition of the and this process has in some instances proceeded, so far, that entire veins of horn-stone have passed into the state of fine white infusible claystone. On breaking the smalt masses of which these veins of clay are. composed, we may occasionally find pieces which exhibit in the centre a portion of the original Itornstone. The granite rocks of this country manifest, in most cases, the same tendency to decay. Wc may often see, in deep gullies, a shelly kind of granite, composed of grains loosely cohering, and exhibiting the work of decomposition still going on, even at the deptli of ten feet or more from the surface -and in all the western counties, whose geology we have examined, the granite' rocks, with a few exceptions, contain a large proportion of feldspar, which is constantly de-composi in to vv ite clay and dest lying he texture of the The abundant proportion of this substance will account for the de he wou pule, all the to retain his purcUasft ler warned never for sale at haf" ly, ad forty-four slight errors.
