about the head Of the coffin and ran away
AS if he- thought an evil spirit was IN

purpose, howled terribly. The hearse,
and three carriages filled with emma
men, composed the procession TO tue
grave. On the route Josh papers

dressed in white, with white camorie
cap over her head and face, threw her
self upon the ground, and rolled aud
tumbled over the dump Of earth thrown

set up around the grave, and after

boiled pig, and affairs assumed a festive
