SPITING WIFE.-Some time ago IL was
given out that Michael O'Laughlin, living
on French Prairie, had died AT his sisters
residence. The funeral was duly celebrated
at the church, though the coffin was no,
opened, since the deceased requested that it
be not done, as he did not want his wife to
take q last look at him. They had quarellei
some time ago and were divorced. In due
time, and at the request of the wife of the de-
ceased, T.. ). Gregoire was appointed admin
istrator of the estate. The administrator
commenced settling up the business as
that O'Laughlln was rot dead, but had been
seen since his alleged funeral. The grave
has been opened and the cOffin-lid taken off
when 10 and behold! the carcass of sheep
was disclosed. No criminal intent is ascribet
to the parties in this transaction, and il is
explained by the fact that O'Laughlin is a
very eccentric person, and perhaps desired
TO spite his divorced wife. II is supposed
that he is with friends in Illinois, SaLea.
