An Iron BURIAL.-Mr. Wllknson, one OF
the founders Of the iron manufacture 10 Great
Britain, loved iron 50 we'll that he resolved ["
carry it to tho grave with him. lie had hlm-
self buried 10 his garden in an iron collin, over
which was an iron tomb twenty tons weight.
In order to make all right and secure, he caused
the coffin and tomb 10 be constructed Vhi!c he
was yet alive; he delighted to show them to Ills
friends and possibly more to his pleas
ure than theirs. But there was sundry little
trbula,ions to encounter. When he died, It
was found that the coffin was too small; ne was
temporarily laid in the ground while new one
was made; when buried, il was decided that 10"
coffin was too near the surface and 1t was there
fore transferred To cavity dug in roc K; lastly
when the estate was sold many years atterward,
the family directed the coffin to be transtcrret
to the churchyard. Thus Mr.. Wilkinson bad
The cxcep,ional honor Of being bu,led three or
four times over. Mr.. Smiles tells us that, 10
1862 man was living who had assisted at all
these iDtcrmonts. Mr.. Wilkinson was quite
pIcasnd TO make presents OF iron collins TO any
friends who wished to possess such mementocs
Of death and iron. La granite county such as
Cornwall it is not surprising to read That the
Rcv, John pomcroy Of st. Kew was buried 10
a rrauitc cofiia which h. had caused 10 nc
made.

delphia, in September, l174, and re
malnedin session Gftg'one daya. Patrick
Henry said that Rutledge, the distin.
guiShel Irish-American of South Caro-
lira, was by far the greatest orator in
that body, but that in regard to solid in.
formation and sopnd judgment Wash.
iogton was 'unQuestionAbly the greatest
man on ttat floor" The second Cont.
nRptsl congress assembled in the follow.
ing May at Philadelphia, and it did mol,
finally adjourn till 1889, when the govern.
ment was organized under the oopstitu.
tiou. Daring this period it met at various
places, wherever it was most convenient
or practicable. The Irish.American
reVolutionist, Charles Thomson, was sec
