They look to-day just as they did to us thirty years ago when we were a hoy, and must have boon placed there shortly after the year 1770, for on both can be seen, besides other inscriptions, ‘‘Mary Quarter- man, wife of Robert Quarterraan, died 1770.” This wood is knowu to outlast aiiy other to bo found in these parts, and if paiuted occasionally we should judge would uover rot.
