Altar Tomb.
This is the common grave of two Officers, who fell by each other's hands, in a duel, as some say ; but the real circumstances are these. The deceased, above commemorated, was forced into the duel and fell by the challenger's pistol. The latter, however, being seized with remorse, committed suicide, whereupon both were interred in the same grave. Beside this tomb is another without any tablet or inscription. They are erected outside the ordinary cemetery, and in a secluded spot.
