Millers burial

When the miller died, the clergyman of the parish could not, consistently with his profession, read the burial-service over the body; but he was kind enough not to interfere in the matter, and the service was read in a distinct and audible voice, as Miss Oliver informed us, by the little girl who had led the miller about, in the presence of between 2000 and 3000 people who had assembled on the hill round the tomb. The little girl, whose name was --------, has been dead some years.
