Element was made then and there, for
the mill company was making no end
of money in those days and few hun

the side of possession of the property
they needed. The key to the case was
in the fact that at the time the judg-

under execution. A statute enacted
soon after that time granted such
exemption, but it could not be made
retroactive, and thus it happened that

in black.
The Spy this morning prints nearly
an exact copy of the articles relating
to the death and funeral which were
published in Isaiah Thomas famous old
journal, which, besides being interest
ing on account of the matter it con-
tains, is equally interesting as showing
the rapid strides made in the art of
printing during the century. In the
days of Isaiah Thomas capitals seemed
to be used indiscriminately and but
little attention was paid to the style of
the writing 1t is also apparent from
a glance at the original, that copy read
ers and proof readers were almost un-
known In one line Of the poem which
follows the first article the last word,

placed in the old tomb on the hillside,
overlooking the Potomac, the bearers
being Coils. Sims, Ramsey, Payne, Gill

In 1897 the new tomb was built on the

the body was removed to it's new rest

When men of common character are

die without the tribute of public notice
or concern, as they had lived without

perfonages Of more exalted worth are
fummoned from the fcenes of fublu-
nary exiftence. their death calls forth
a burft of general regret, and invigo-
rates the flame of public gratitude. In
obedience to the wifhes and voice of
their country, the orator, the poet and
the hiftorian combine to do juftice to
the virtues of their character, while the
