About thiriy-threc and third years ago there

old codgcr by the name Of Butt-Cutt Taylor who
had formerly enjoyed the honors and emolumenis
pertaining 10 the Office Of Justice ftho Peace, the
duiics OF which Office he discharged with acknowl-
edged ability" and dignity and 80 far as his
neighbors were capable Of judging, he appeared
10 be n very honest man. lie had, however, ac-
quired the habit Of ''trumping up accounts
against the estates of those q his neighbsrs who
were 90 unfortunate MS 20 'shuiiie OF their mortal
coils within bounds Of his bailiwick. lie had
carried the practice 10 such an extent a. to arouse
a suspicion In the minds OF some Of his meddic-
some neighbors. that there might he ''something
dead" somewhere iu he ''acat Of his financial
Operations Bot Crogan who lived In the neigh

idea that the Squirc's honesty should hc quoted
below par, concluded with the ronnivance and
assistance Of few comrades to "unearih ihc sly

Bob pretended 10 die, was regularly shrouded and
laid out on the cooling board In the mos, appro-

ious distribuslon among the members OF the be-
Feaved family, and the many sofrowing friends
Of the supposed deceased. who were present when
he arrived. Amer he had relieved his heart Of
his burden Of healing words, and had succeeded
IN toierHble Effort al crying, aud was about 10
