DEATH OF AN ECCENTRIC.-An ex-
ceedingly eccentric man has just died at
Hinesburg in the person of Augustus
Melvin, aged "a. He had his grave
dug 20 years ago, and stoned up and filled
with earth that it might be in perfect
condition whenever needed. Last fall
he had the earth dug out of it, saying he
expected to be laid there before winter
was over. His coffin was In readiness
seven years ago, and so arranged that he
could lie on his side with his knees drawn
up, as he said he slept in this condition
in life and wanted to sleep so in death.
All his plans for the funeral were made
in advance, and among the rest he select
ed four colored boys who had worked for
him more or less, as had their fathers
before them, as pail bearers. They were
to carry the body to the grave, which
was on his own farm, lower it to its last
resting place, fill the grave with earth,
and then walk back to the house, where
they were to find each a letter, sealed and
directed TO them, in which was the money
to pay for this last service which he re-
| auired of them. His friends took good
care to carry out his peculiar wishes.
