   exclusively given up to the burial uses of that family. A very large and handsome monument blocked up a view of the Chapel, and practically, cut it off from connection with the main portion of the Abbey. This also was removed, and placed in a prominent position in the old gable of the Abbey. A very fine arch was discovered, which the monument had hidden from view. A sacrarium was also found, in a state of splendid preservation.
   A smaller archway was also brought to light, which is highly prized by students f archaeology, as an excellent specimen of ecclesiastical architecture of days long past. The Chapel was over-hauled, re-decorated and transformed into a devotional and handsome shrine of Our Lady of Good Counsel.
   The old Monastery stands as a fitting companion, in its venerable old age, to the Abbey, which it adjoins. It is certainly a quaint and interesting ruin. The walls are of great thickness, and so hard and lasting as adament. It must have been a very spacious and commodious building from what remains to indicate the large proportions of it, as it existed in days gone by. it is entered by a stone archway from the present garden.
