The workmen employed in excavating
 the cellar for J. J. Priors new block on
 the corner of Center and William
 streets struck a ghastly find Saturday
 by unearthing a skeleton about eight feet below the surface, There is no
 chance for a mystery or sensation over the fact, for the cemetery on the south side of Center street many years ago extended some distance further north, and when Center street was orig inally laid out it cut through the cem- etery and both sides of the street were used as burial place. Afterwards
 most of the bodies were changed to the south side--that is, those that were
 marked by a gravestone; but those not so marked were left undisturbed and in consequence there are many old
 bones left, even In the present road way, and a few years ago, when the Center street sewer was laid there were bones unearthed several feet below the surface.
