But recently the question has been agitat- ed anew. Williams may yet. have at least have some outward sign to mark his grea'ness and perpetute his name. During a period of 183 years, not even a rough stone has been set up to mark ths grave of the founder of Rhode Island, till the locality of the: grave had been almost forgotten, and could only be ascer- tained by the most careful investigation. Saffice it is to say, however, that the spot was found at the exhymation made a while ago; although there was little to exhume. On scraping off the turf from the ground, tho dim outlines of seven graves, contained within less than one square rod, revealed the burial-ground of Roger Williams. In colonial times, each family had its. own 'burial-ground, which was usually near the family residence. Three of these seven graves were those of children, the remaining four adult.

A To the Editor of the Ontario Reformer. + The editor of the Vindicator seems anxious to get rid of his opponent in busi- ness and politics in the Village ; and judging from the circulation and business of the REroruER, it is not to be wondered at. He appears to think.the most suc- cessful mode of accomplishing that 'pur- pose is to hold him forth as s slanderer and unscrupulous character. Pretty strong language this; but Mr. Climie's past character as an upright, comséiencious, honourable gentleman, is the best ' answer that can be given to so base and vile and tlemanly an opp t.. I think a more honourable course than this would be to go down to Bowmanville and estab- | lish a branch of the Vindicator there, and | make an effort to Toryize the people of edges of the coffin, with the ends distinct ly defined. The rusted remains of the hinges and nails, with a few fragments of wood, and a single round knot, was all that could be gathered from the grave. In the grave of the wife there was not a trace of anything save a lock of braided hair that had survived the lapse of more than 280 years. Near the grave stood a vener- able apple-tree, but when fand by whom planted is not known. This tree has sent two of its main roots into the graves of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liams. - Tho larger root has pushed its way through the earth till it reached the precise spot pied by the skull 'of Roger Willisms. There making & turn, as if going round the skull, it followed the direction of| the backbone to the hips. Here, it divi into two branches, send- i | each leg to the heel, where upward to the toes.

The eonductor expected another train,and said to them, as he rejected their bribe, that he would stop there until the. wheels rotted off the cars rather than start before the other train had passed.
