The item now going the ronnds of the

IN incident which orca happened to Alex

means the two authors had condescended
to terve as witnesses at peasant marriage

JOHN DYE, cheerful old Indianian,
has grave for himself, which he executed
several years ago. He accomplished the
werk with his own hands, excavating the
earth to a proper depth, laying stone
slab on the bottom and walling it up the
sides with brick. A similar slab is intend
ed to cover the grave, and, what is singu-
lar, Mr.. Dye has scooped out of the
neither stone hollow for his body to liein,
with an elevation, in which there is
another hollow for his head. 1t is
his desire when he dies he shall be
dressed in certain specified clothing,
and that blanket shall be laid
in the tomb, upon which his re-
mains are to be laid. Another blanket
is to be spread over him, and the large slab
of stone placed on the tomb, and the earth
filled in above. It will be seen that he
does away with the use of coffin entirely,
and be further requests that no burial
service be used or sermon preached, and
that no monument be erected to his mem
ory. Recently a heavy rain caved in the
earth above the tomb, and Mr.. Dye set
about repairs with vigor that was sur
prising. To prevent recurrence of the
accident, he has walled the grave up to
the surface of the earth and carefully
covered it with boards and sod. The grave
is on his farm and within few feet of the
railroad.

By the latest returns, the North Carolina

enough to convict Governor Holden.
There is only one more than enough, be-
