During the rebuilding the remains of several half-burned coffins were removed from the vaults and buried together in single tomb in the churchyard.

It must be borne in mind that the crop cannot afford to suffer such a deterioration if any large yield is to be made of the limited acreage this year, and the wants of the world must not be lost sight of for a moment, for while it is true that spinners' taki~ -- may not be more than 11,S00,00O bales of American for the past season. ac- tual consumption is apt to figure more than 12.e00.000 bales
