The Bones of our Forefathers.

There has been long mooted among anti
quarians an interesting question as to the
exact locality Of the spot which was used as
the burial gronnd Of the Pilgrims, after their
landing at Plymouth. History tells us that
one-half of the little band who came over in
the Maytlower, were inferred upon the hill
near the water, (now known as Coles hll,) J
and that the graves were smoothed over so
that the Indians should not be able to Judge
from knowledge of the number who had
died, Of the weakness Of the party; but until
within few days the precise position of the
place of intement has never been satisfac-
tory determined. A friend residing in Ply
mouth informs us that some interesting dis
coyeries have recently been made bv party
of workmen who were engaged in excavating
trenches near the brow of the HILL Three
entire skeletons were exhumed which iudg-
inc from their location and other circumstan-
ces, are undoubtedly the remains of three of
the pilglms, who died in their new home of
freedom during the first dreary winter of
their pilgrimage.

years. Up to- recent date Mrs. Thomson On
loyed excellent health, bat for some months had
been gradually sinking.
Persons familiar with the life of the poet will
remember Jessy Lewars was on the most init.

IN the short interval which took place between

Lewars was unremitting in her attention to Mrs.
Burns and the children-Alrs. Burns being al
most constantly confined to bed, as the Youngest
child of the poet was born ON the day of the poets
funeral-and conveyed from her brothers house
such cordials of all kinds as she supposed would
be acceptable to the bard. After Burns death.
two of the children, Robert the eldest; and anoth
er, lived with the Lewars family for about four.
