A special from Bradf >rd last Saturday stated that the remains of William R. Fisher and wife, together with the remains of their daughthers, Nellie and Ida, and a niece named Nellie Dart, were disinterred at the old Kennedy street cemetery and taken to Oak Hill, where they were again consigned to earth. The body of Nellie Dart was interred in the old cemetery in 1861. The daaghter Nellie, was buried in 1864, and Ida in 1874. William R Fisher died in 1885, and his death was fol lowed lour years later, or in 1889, by that of his tvife. The earth was dug from the graves and an attempt mado to lift the coffins out, when the undertaker was greatly surprised to find them almogt im movabla. After considerable effort one of the caskets was brought to the top of the grave, and opened. It was found that the body it contained was in a perfect state of preservation. From the lop of the head to the bottom of the leet the body was as solid a* mar ble, and the features were lifelike in their □aturalness; even the clothing had become petrified. One alter another the bodies were lifted from the earth, and when each was examined, it was found to have turn ed to a stone-like substance. The body of Miss Dart, which was interred in 1861, resembled a statue of marble. At the time of Miss Dart's death she weighed 200 pounds, but when the lady was exumed it was twice that weight. The bottom of the graves in the lower portion of the old cemetery are covered with water at all times, and it is supposed the mineral prop erties of this water caused petrification. It i 8 said that other petrified bodies hare been taken from the old cemetery. SLIPPERY ROCK SHAVINGS. Amos McCamant, Will Shepard and John Sanderson were Butler visitors on Monday.
