AN ANCIENT TOMB.
A Horse Breaks Into an Old Burying
Place in Falmouth-The Bones of Origi,
nal Settlers.


Out in the town of Falmouth. near
"Blackstrap," is one of the many little
deserted and pathetic grayeyards scat
tered all over this state. 1t has long been
Known that there was a very ancient
to:ab there, but no one had more than
tradition by whom it was built, or when
it was last opened. The front was closed
by logs, instead of sstoue, and recently
a horse wandering through the yard
broke through, and for the first time in
many years the interior of the tomb was
seen. There was found large and
remarkably we'll built chamber, caIcu-
lated to last for centuries. There were
large, number of bones, but no burial
clothes, or of collins hardly trace. For
some reason, it seemed that one coffin
had been placed on another, and both
had given way. The bones were there
and to those who first looked inside it
was a strange spectacle. at made you
wonder if you'd see spirits there in the
GLOOM" said one man. Of course there
is not on the earth single person who
knew one of the dead and those who are
said by tradition to be of the same line
know nothing about it, and have but
slight, if any, personal interest in the
matter, and it is probable that some
steps may be taken looking to doing the
work of repairing the tomb at public
expense.
The front, if once closed with slab or
two of granite would remain so, and
it hardly seems to people there desirab BILE
that the ancient tomb should be show
place. AS was said yesterday, Gif it is to
remain open, then there should be paint
ed and put up an extract from DR.. Watts:
I'VE living men come view the ground
where you must shortly lie.n
A Portland gentleman who was one Of
those who went down into the long
closed tomb, says that there is said to
be in that section very old womanNwho
recalls many traditions of those who are
resting there One of the skeletons was
that of remarkably tall man, who in
his generation must have been possessed
of great strength.
