The OssIFIED MAN OF DUBLIS.-A
writer in the Christian Advocate. under the
head of transatlantic Recollections,"
speaking of the Museum at Dublin, re-
marks: "What calls and rivets the atten-
tion of every visitor, whether scientific or
otherwise, is the celebrated skeleton of an
ossified man; it is said to be the only in
stance Of entire ossification ever known.
Il j. the skeleton Of a young man named
Clark, who was Of large frame and strong
constitution. Falling asleep il the open
air during state of perspiration, he caught
severe cold, at which time, it is supposed,
ossilication commenced, and continued to
progress for many years by slow degrees,
till finally he was bone, except the skin,
ewes, and entrails. For a length of time
before his death, his joints grew together
5 that he could not move; and thus did
death in this horrible and terrific form creep
over him by slow degrees, until at length
his sight departed, his tongue became stiff
and useless, his teeth grew together in one
solid mass of bone, SO that to prolonp his
miserable existence, an aperture had been
broken, through which to pour nutriment,!
