THoRN-RosE CEMETERY.

The importance OF having new Cemetery 70
our growing population has long been obvious to GU
community. The present graveyard, which EN-
braces somewhat less than two acres, is estimated
10 contain the remains Of roUR OR FIVE THOUSAND
human beings! 1t has been in use for more thar
| AN HUNDRED YEARS, and it is now almost imposs
bic TO dig new grave without disturbing the re-
mains Of some one who has long been slumberins
in the dust!
To remedy this evil the Legislature at its las
session, passed an act Incorporating The rhornrose
Cemetery Company.
The Act provides that James Points, Francis r.
Stribling, Benjamin Crawford, Kenton Harper, A.
II: III. Stuart, Nicholas c. Kinney, r.. j. Niche,
VIM. Kinney, George Nj. Cochran, Jefferson Kin
ney, John b. Breckinridge, Hugh w. Shelley and

GATES and all such persons as may hereafter become
owners Of lots in the Cemetery, allbeconsiituted
body corporate and polite under the name and
style OF the ''Ihorn-rose Cemetery Company"
The Company is authorised TO hold not exceed
ing fifteen acres of land nor the town of Staun-
ton, They are empowered p pass bye-laws and
to enforce them by suitable penalties.
The lots are not TO be liable for debts or taxes.
and are not TO pass TO executors or administrators
but to remain in the families of the proprietors and
pass according TO law Of descents
The affairs Of the corporation are TO be managed
by trustees chosen by the lot holders each lot hold

The Compary are empowered to lay off the pro-
perty into suitable lots aud walks and to ornament

deemed necessary. Bot the law expressly provides
that pecuniary profit shall be made by the stock
holders but that the whole proceeds, after reim-
bursting the outlay, shall be applied TO the improve
ment of the grounds, Sc. There is no possible dan
ger, therefore, OF its being converted into specu-
lating Company.
The first meeting Of the Company is to be held
on the 2Sth day of the present month, at the Hall
of Common Council, when all who disposed to
unite in this most laudahe enterprise can do So II
is hoped that in few months site will have been
purchased enclosures made and lots improved, car
rageways and walks laid out, and trees and shrubs
planted, SO that before the lapse of many years we
shall have resting place for the dead which will
present all the attractions which good taste and ju
dicous cultivation can mpart to well selected To-
cality. Instead, then, of turning away from the

JOHN VAN BUREN.-A Montreal correspondent
of the New York Courier aad Enquirer intimates
that this gentleman has had hand in the recent
demonsti atoms in Canada. He says:
81 have certainly heard some extraordinary facts
mentioned within the last few days, which induce
me TO think that there is something going on be-
tween this and parties in the United States Ihave
heard John Van Buren's name mentioned as in cor
respondence with parties in Montreal, and have
to think that the Government are aware that
large number several ,housasd-of muskets have
been brought from the United States into Canada
within these, ten days; at any rate circular was
issued yesterday from the office of TIE Customs De
partment here to the Collectors in Upper Canada

cautions too late, and that whatever arms are
required are already in Canada"
