ODD.-A man named Mckinney
was hired at Waterford. Me-, to dig q
grave and make a coffin for another
man named Jones. But, previous to
to the interment, the relatives Of
Jones appeared, and the corpse was
removed for interment in a distant
churchyard. Thus the grave dug by
Mckinney remained open. And now
comes the strange part of this chap
ter of incidents. Mckinney. while
riding few days since was thrown
and killed. His coffin was made of
the planks sawed by bis own hands,
on which the lileless body of Jones
had reposed; and he was buried in
the grave which he had dug for Jones.
Thus is presented the unusual phe.
nomenon of man whe "sleeps that
sleeps that knows no waking" in n
grave which bis own hands dug.
