In the course of excavations in con
nection with the proposed restoration of
Shatford-on Avon Parish church, the la
borers have come upon the old chancel
house, consisting of a capacious vault on
the northeast side of the chancel. 1t is
said not to have been used for sepulchral
purposes since the time of the Reforma-
tion and was finally closedin 1856. The
vault was full of human bones some OF

and extended on all hands, there being,

yard The face of strongly-built Sax
on archway was then revealed, about six
feet in the opening. The roof continues
towards the chancel wall, and is exactly
opposite Shakespeare's tomb. 1t is no,

A rector Of Phnadelphia ina sermon
to women says: Il object to cigarette
hats and long-tailed jacket or coats.
Man, who is logical, may wear mathe-
matlcally-cut garments, but "A Christian
woman should not appear to be man
nish." Then, as if to be talked to
from the pulpit We're not enough. the
Philadelphia Press makes an attack on
those who wear the cigarette orotall
beaver hats, as follows: 1--WE admire
the beaver hats, because girls who
have more than the usual quantity of
nose, or who have ugly ears, can con
ceal their misfortune beneath the brim,
and those wholhave no .store-braid' can
likewise hide Its absence" Nothing
more wonderful, or hideous, for street
wear was ever invented than the stiff
beaver hat, which was introduced only
for equestriennes to wear riding, but
with the American idea of utility, now
it is too cold for horseback riding, is
worn on the street

Ills head, which was once round, was

J. H. Bryant, sub-contractor un-
der Price & King, informs us that
he will get through his contract by
the middle of next month, and
will then proceed farther west
towards blackberry. The railway
expects to get to Brigham City
about the 1st proximo. Brigham
City will be the end of the first di-
vision in Arizona, Volunteer
Springs will be the end of the Sec
ond division, and blackberry or
the Needles the end of the third
division. Each Of these points will
doubtless become trade centers in
Northern Arizona.
. Mr.. l.. w. Webb, of the firm OF
Webb and Fisher, sub.contractors
under Grant & Mcdonald, tells us
that his firm is busy grading in
Truxton Canon, eight miles from
blackberry. That Frazier & Bro
naugh are also at work grading in
the same neighborhood; also Mr..
Costello. All these parties are
ub-contracting under Grant &
Mcdonald, and are pushing work
as rapidly as money and men can
do it.

that road is graded from Benson to
four miles beyond Contention, ex-
cept q small portion, crossing the
lands of Gable and Mason, on the
San Pedro river. But for this fact
passenger trains would now be
running into Contention. Grading
will be continued to the Barbaco-
mari and thence to connect with
the Arizona Southern at Calabasas
and on to Guaymas. In COM
paratively short time-es soon as
lahorers can be obtained-work
will be commenced on the Tomb
