robbing a grave. He had heen =o
absorbed in his work that he had
not heard the approach of his dis

ing the bady from the collin, when
he heard the foot of the farmer, The
grave was that of a prominent
young woman who had been bhu
ried the day before. The farmor

suddenly, and no investigation was
ever made, they supposed by some
ofthe family before its position was
