in clearing out the ruins Of an old chap
81 in Warwickshire. England, several
lead collins were exhumed, containing
the embalmcd bodies OF Countesses and
St. Johns. which were buried more than
two hundred years ago The coffin
which contained the body of Lady
Audrey Leigh, buried in 1910, was
opened, and the body found pefeclly en-
halmed, and in entire preservation, her
flesh quite plump, So if she were alive,
her face very beautiful. her hands ex.
aeedingly small, and no. wasted. She
was dressed in fine linen, trimmed all
over with old point lace, and two rows
oflace were laid fat across her forehead
She looked exactly as if she was lying
asleep, and seemed not more than six
teen or seventeen years old her beauty
was very great even her eyelashes and
eyebrows were quite perfect, and her
eyes were closed, no part Of her face or
figure was at all fallen in.
