The RESTORATION OF INDEPEN-

pendence Hall to as near an approach to
the appearance it presented on the great
days of l776, is making progress at very
satisfactory pace, and we are informed,
will soon be completed. Another of the
time-honored chairs has been received. The
committee In charge of the work, is notify
ing the mayor of this accession, took occa-
sion to call his attention to the necessity of
additional precautions to guard the vene-
rated hall from dangers by fire.
1t is further suggested by the committee
that the room now occupied by the court
of common pleas be vacated as soon as it
can be conveniently done. We believe it
is part of the design to make this room
an adjunct to the hall for the reception and
exhibition of such of the pictures and OBJ
jects of historic interest belonging to the
city as will be out of place in Independ-
ence hall as restored to its original cond-
ton. To effect these purposes consideIa-

ORIGIN OF THE NAME "BACoN.n-
On fine edition of Lord Bacon's works,
published few years ago, the publishers
had figure Of hog in gilt. 1t was al
ways disagreeable to associate so great
man with so filthy an animal, and we are
glad to know from Lppincot's Magazine
that the name is not taken from that ami
NAL:
The origin of the name of Bacon is thus
explained by Richard Verstegan, famous
for Saxon lore and historical research :
Bacon, that is, of the ''beechen tree" an
GENTLY called Bucon and whereas swine's
flesh is now called by the name of bacon,
it grew only at the first into such as were
fatted with Bucon, or beech-mast. 1t
is, as writer in "Notes and Querieso
points out, a curious Authorization of this
derivation that Collins, in his "Baronet-
age" mentions that the first man of the
name of Bacon of whom there is record
in the Herald's College bore for his arms,
"argent, beech tree proper" Additional
confirmation seems afforded by the fact
that in certain places in England boys call
beechen tops "bacons."
