rRAID0CK'S GRAVE.
Els Bodys Final Interment lear Uniontown,
Pa.
The grave of Gen Braddock is near
the famous National Road, some IL miles
west of Uniontown, Pa, says the Balti-
more Sun. The story of his march and
his defeat has never lost its charm. 1t
has been glo.ifiei in romance and idealized
in poetry The details of the expedition
are familiar-the struggle in the wilder
ness near the City of Fittsburg, the hope
less rout of Bra idock S 10 ceS, the pathetic
recital of his death, and his burial in the
road over which the army wagons passed
that all traces Of his resting place might be
removed AMI his remains preserved from
desecration at the hands of the savage. If
the tradition that Washington read the
burial service at the improvised grave of
Braddock be true, the scene must have been
one of the most impressive and sublime in
the early annals of our country.

rude and unknown grave that had been
