dental discovery has been made OF what
is believed to be the family burial vault
of Gov. Spotswood. A skeleton and

earthed by some gravel diggers on New

post farm was accidentally discovered
by workman of the Massaponax Gravel
Co. last Saturday. In excavating Tor
gravel the workmen came upon large
brick vault that was covered over with
an accumulation of bricks under several
feet of rubbish.
Entering the vault the workmen
found a silver CONN plate and single
skeleton, The CONN plate bears the
name of Col. John Spotswood, and re-
cites the fact that he died August 26,
1853. Beyond an iron gate nothing else
was found In the vault, which Is ur1-
doubtedly the family vault Of Gov. AL

same John SpotsNood, who was the
eldest son of Gov. Spostswood. II is q
matter of history that Gov. Spotswood
moved from Germanna on the RapiSan
River to Newpost on Massaponax Creek,
where he held, the Office OF deputy post

therefore may be considered 70 have
founded the American post Office. Gov.
Spotswood died at Annapolis. Md, June
7, l740, and there IL no record of his
burial place, though the theorylaas been
advanced that he may have been buried
at Temple farm, near Yorktown. Dis
covery Of the vault leads to the belief
that he may have been inferred at New
post farm, on which he is known to
have spent the latter years of his life.
The bulk CT Gov. Spotswood's estate
was left to his eldest son, John Spots
wood. who in 1745 married Mary Dand-
ridge.

CENSUS BUREAU.
UNITS REVISED

Reorganization Of the agricul-

reau goes into effect today, new
units to complete the tabulations
having been formed.
These new groups, to be kept
on the payrolls while the "finaI
results" of the 1880 census are
being compiled, will be composed
almost entirely Of employees who
came to Washington from dis
tant States.
Temporary workers from the
District, Virginia and Maryland
continue their complaints Of dis
elimination and say they will be
the first to be laid off when the
Census Bureau "deflation" begins
in March.
A poll was taken Saturday of
employees claiming military pref
erence. These will get first
choice, it is understood, in the
composition Of the new units,
and probably viii be kept until
the conclusion Of the tabulations
in January, 1881.
