Here is really true stony; Lately an
English family had the misfortune to
lose an aged aunt, who died in ST. Pc
tersburg. Arrangements were most care
fully made and directions sent that the
body should be forwarded to England TO
be inferred in the family vault. In due
time magnificent coffin arrived, and
before it was lowered TO its last resting
place it was opened for inspection.
Much to the dismay of the family, IN
stead of finding the features and frau
form of their beloved aunt, the corpse
of a Russian officer clothed III military
garments and decorated with ribbons
and medals, was disclosed to view. a.
frantic telegram was dispatched to the
Russian capital, to which the following
answer was received: Lady buried
