For the IHllmingtoniqn.

In the year 1761 the Society of Friends in this
Borough adopted the plan of burying their dead
i'll rows, regardless of family distinction. The
first person buried afterwards was NICHOLAS
MEEns whose remains lie at the north corner of
the grave c-yard, near the intersection of Pasture
street and Queen street. He was born in the
year l65O, under the government of Oliver
Cromwell; about the time when the Society Of
which he was member, first appeared in Eng
land, and about two years after Charles L. suffer-
cd death on the scaiold. He lived through one
Of the most eventual periods Of British history
perhaps through one Of the most important pc
rods Of tho world. He saw Il monarch, by the
most cruel and arbitrary conduct, cxasperating
his subjects, and afterwards fleeing before them
TO avoid their displeasure. He saw them call
ing a foreigner to the throne and placing the
crown of three kingdoms on his head. He saw
the rise, progress, and accomplishment of the
