Died With His Boots On

Yesterday, workmen in the employ of the Gas company, while excavat[ ing opposite the old cemetery, unearthed two skeletons with the remains of the coffins in which they had been inclosed. The name plate of one of the coffins bore the following inscription: "Miss Martha Whitney died March 4, 1842, aged 25 years." The other skeleton was that of a man, who had been buried with his boots on and these were found in an excellent state of perservation. The name and death history of this gentleman are unknown, but from the presence of the boots, it is inferred that he may have died with them on. Tne bones, or such as the boys did not carry away, were reinterred in the excavation.
