s.sarrter--Lss, week, as two gentlemen
were passias by the old cemetery on Norti. ST.
hey encountered q man, coulihg out Of the
cemetery, covered with dust Of D redtsh hue
mad having in his hand q quantity OF copper
t,eke. suspcetine all was not right, ihs gen
,lenea entered toe cemetery by the passage
through which The individual had emerged
and proceeding a short distance, found a tomt
aev.lr broken open and desecrated. They
reported the circumstance to his Honor the
MAycr, who arrested, tried aud committed the
man to Jail Il, appeared in evidence tha, he
was very drunk when discovered, and h. was
hliled the mex day, chiefly on tie supposition
that he was, 1T the time q committing the
crime, unconscious Of It's %enorin,,y.
The dissertation OF the tefnh--the violation
Of that profound reposc, +" where the wicked
cease from troubling" is certainly an offence
&C the first magnitude, and one which, We
think, is none the more excusable because
coupled with the disgusting rice of ~iatefnper-
aace. But in Baton Rouge, VIC see not why il
shonld be deemed . crime. or why II should
excite the least surprise or horror. II is an
everyday privilege permitted q dumb beasts,
md why deny i, TO men ! uM cemeteries
are little better than open commons, where
he graves Of our departed friends are hourly
subject TO mntilauon. Those " who sleep"
would End the same repose in the middle OF
the highway, as IN the place selected for It's
resemblance 10 tho sad dominion of Silence.
This is shameful, and tells very unfarora-
bly, for onr city. Unless we repair the chc'o-
surcs 10 our cemeteries, we shall one day
see the tcdies Of the lately loved aud lost,
