Some excitement was created lately in the neighborhood of Bedford by the exhumation of the body of the Kev. John S'. Dawson, of Woodlands, who was buried in 1870 in the churchyard of the village of Clapham. It appears that Mr. Dawson, who inherited the estate of Woodlands from- his father, who had bought it, was twice married, and though he had a son by his first marriage, he bequeathed the estate to his son by his second wife.- It is believed, however, by his eldest son .that the estate was entailed by the will of his grandfather, l which could not be found; and as information reached him that the documents had been buried with his father, application was made for the exhumation of, the body to the Home Secretary, and the requisite sanction having been obtained the exhumation was carried out, and the coffin was opened in the presence of the legal and medical gentlemen concerned. A diligent search between the inner shell and the outer oak coffin proved in vain but on lifting the body, which was- in a' wonderful state of preservation, a bundle of what appeared to be letters, tied -round with- red tape, was discovered. These documents were taken away, with the necessary legal- formalities, and the body was then reinterred. 1 . Strangers paying a visit to Wellington, and country settlers arriving in town, are very often at 'a loss to know which is the best house or cheapest general' drapery establishment to visit for buying drapery and clothing.. J. McDowell and Co. offer special ad-' vantages that can be met with nowhere in. the city. They keep at all times'the largest apd best assorted stock of every class of goods, imported direct from the leading manufacturers of Great Britain and Ireland, which, being bought on the most advantageous terms, enables ,them to offer goods of sterling qualities at prices that cannot be Improved on by any house in the trade. Every article is marked at a fixed price that cannot be deviated from, for ready money, from which there is no deviation ; so that inexperienced people are as well served as the-best judges: the terms being net cash, without rebate or abatement of any kind. A full description of stock can be obtained from our catalogues and advertisement. -Note the address—Opposite the Bank of New Zealand, corner of Lambton-quay and Wlllis-strcet, .Wellington.—Aovt.
