A pathetic incident occurred al the
cemetery near Hrisington, Sunday
last. An old man named Henry
Dugan, who had been away from the

day IN a very respondent state of
mind. No enc paid any particular
attention to him, and it was not known
where ne had gone for the night. On
Sunday morning some one passing the
grave yard found him lying uncon-
scious on the grave of his dead wife.
He was taken to town and cared for,
though it is thought the exposure to
the cold of Sunday night may result
in his death

wrong.
