Posthumous Revelations of a burglar.

An English burglar died in Meredith village, N. H., a few days since, possessed of considerable wealth. He had lived for many years a life of strict propriety, much respected by his neighbors and friends, and had reared a large family. He left a manuscript in cipher, which proved to be a record of his misdeeds. In this will he bequeathed $800 to a man he once robbed in Quebec, and two grandsons of the individual have been found there — he having long since deceased.
