not in such a large number as previ-
ouSly.

Mr.. H. E. Bonitz, the architect and

Yesterday in repairing one of the old

about eight feet deep and about six feet

The two little collins are intact as TO

collins TO crumble. In one there are the
remains of what is evidently q woman

probably of the revolution or of the
indian or French wars. The remains lie
in the crumbled coffin and the remnants
of a uniform with brass buttons can be
