TIcoSDERoGA, n r., Oct ll.-Laborers
engaged in digging sewer ii; one o. the
principal streets Of this village Thursday
struck tombstone and below it found u
coffin containing the bones of human
being. The stone was washed
OF and found to contain tho inscrip-
tion and date Of the death OF Lord Howe.
The skull was intact, but the rest of the
bones were disjointed and considerably
decayed As soon Us it had been
learned about the village an immense
crowd OF people assembled and many
persons made desperate efforts to procure
pieces of the bones. The coffin. which
was of oak, was in fairly good state Of pres
ervation. Several years ago the street
where the remains were found was filled In
several feet which accounts for the depth
Of the tombstone's location. The remains
will probably be reinforced at once in the
village cemetery. There Is considerable
excitement over the discovery.
