While digging the excavation around one of the large trees in front of Massachusetts Hall yesterday, a large square stone, on which was carved "Sto" and "A.D.," was unearthed, and near this was a part of a brick foundation. The stone was believed to be the cornerstone of the old Stoughton Hall, which stood on the site. A Spanish coin of the year 1776 and bearing the stamp of Carolus III, was found by one of the workmen, and in one corner of the brick foundation several pieces of metal were discovered. The foundation is still intact, and if the excavation were carried farther, it is probable that other interesting relics would be found.
