Restoration of an Ancient Church.

Quaint old St. Pavid's Episcopal Church, near Wftjne, Delaware County, has just been undergoing interior chan: es wnich have renewed the interest taken by local historical students in the edifice. The ancient churchyard adjoining the edifice is the resting place of the remains of Gen. Anthony Wayne —“Mad Anthony,” as he was called in Revolutionary times. A singular feature of the old house of worship is its stepping-stone, just outside the vestibule —really a flat tomb-stone-still plainly inscribed as being sacred to the memory of some one who, nearly two centuries ago, filled a place in the grave beneath. The building was, as a, matter of fact, erected in 1717, directly among and over a portion of the tombs in the churchyard;— Philadelphia Record.
