In this connection 1t may be interesting to note
that the remains OF the iiustrous signer were re-
moved recently from the old "a nedru cemetery,
which twenty years 20 became so crowded that It
was found necessary TO establish a new cemetery
at Bonnie Brae. CAROLS remains were originally
MAJOR, from which they had been taken TO the
Old cemetery.

Was really selected by Benjamin Franklin. He
had learned to love Bishop Carroll and he strongly
argued for his appointment when he learned that
this country Was TO be removed from under the &C.
