Spanish Bell Dug Up
on New Jersey Estate,

One of the rarest curios in this city
is an old Spanish bell which is in the
possession Of Maurice H. Stratemeyer,
we'll known dealer ii musical instru-
ments, at 81 Broad street, this city,
says the Newark News. The bell was
dug up few years ago on the estate
of Gov. Carteret, New Jerseys first
colonial executive, whose home was
on Pearl street, this city. The relic
was unearthed about six feet under
ground by some workmen who were
excavating for building. 1t was
thickly covered with rust, and the
finder did not sealize at the time the
value of his discovery. He took it
home, however, and Mr.. Stratemeyer,
who is something of an antiquarian,
