After the obaequiei st the church and the body waa forever laid swsy to rest, we g took s »t roil orer the old graveyard, accompanied by the efficient aextoc, Mr. Garretaoo, who kindly pointed out the oldest grsraa and gave us audi other information in general ai we detiretL whidi I, came within hM purview. He fold us the old yard, although the perishable headboard, bad long since disappeared, was , completely filled with grans, and the . predae spot where many la buried, is now forgotten and unknown, p^ticularly since the dratli of the Hon.

Wcstley Rogers aDd i '. wife, to the brothers Hughes, and to otb- I era. There are many of the old style, flat 1 n oblong mooutnenU, and the yard is dotted i . with beautiful uptight tombstones. Many , graves are surrounded with flower beds < I and rubers again are adorned with fresh i » b-qaeta and urns, riepoailed by loving < r hands.

He, in connection with ' Aaron Learning, Esq., received the appointment lo revise the lands of the Stair, and "Learning and Splceria Collection." the result of their lslnr, Is well known at ' this day as a faithful exposition of the statutes.
