is compounded of al the elements, and pro-

BURYING GROUND.

All persons who are interested in purchas-
ing the ground offered by NJ. NJ. STRONG Esq.
for the purpose OF Il Burying Ground, are no
tilted that they must leave their names this

his proposition open beyond this week.
Twelve responsible names, at $50 each are

number in town, who have not signed. that
will consider it their duty to do so. 1t will
be remembered that notice was published

pie not to bury certain lots in and about
the present Burying Ground. We under
stand that it is the intention of the owners Of
those lots TO bring actions Of trespass against

object and advantages connected with scientific
and practical agriculture and whereas, we deem
the formation of such society measure that
would be highly beneficial alike 10 the farmer
the manufacturer, the mechanic, AID TO every
class of our citizens, and as the sod of Wisconsin
is second to none in the Northwest for agricutu-
raj pursuits and believing that the institution of
such society would tend to- respectful rivalry

tabish the following Constitution
