the announcement that the
grave of Mr.. John L. Paine.
who had been inferred but
Two weeks previous, in the
"old" burying ground, in this
village. had been opened and
apparently partially refilled
and abandoned. AS soon DIS
the report reached our ears a
representative of the SENTINEL
fastened to the spot to ascer~
tain what Of truth there really
might be il the report.
The grave is situated in one
Of the most remote localities Of
the "old" graveyard, on the edge
Of the rio &c that >kirts the val

Mrs. Nolasco and the Catholir
Church, and nearly directly
opposite, in a straight line
across this valley, to the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Nolasco, a spot
admirably adapted, from its
secluded position, to the work
of the grave rohbcr.
Arriving at the spot, it re-

porter that ME removal Of the
earth from above the coffin
had boen the work OF none
other than HUMAN hands Fv~

spade marks, fresh and clear,
in the side of the grave, two
feet or more below the surface
Of the ground. Several spots,

the surface, bore tie impress

Drs. Pieot and Maynard and an assist.

With the lancet and gently placed upon
