SECONDHAND GRAVE DEALERS.

Belfast, Me, Feb G.-lmpending le'
gal proceedings relative to the will of
a deceased Belfast man have brought
to light a remarkable state of things
In the cemeteries Of this city. The
dead man, by his will left small
sum to be spent annually in planting
flowers upon his grave. When the
executors went to the burial place to
carry out the bequest they found that
the grave and it's contents, AS well as
the tombstone, had passed into the
hands of complete stranger. The
latter had made the purchase from
the dead mans niece and offered TO
resell to the executors at an increased
price. 1t now transpires that the prac
tice Of buying and selling graves has
become profitable occupation, and
that Belfast can at present boast OF
several dealers in secondhand sepul
chres.
