 Many dead bodies lie, without friend to execute the rite of interrnent, until public officer sis- ter of charity comes to put them in the ground Some persons to save expenses which they are not able to bear, bury their friends in the woods on the sand-bars of the river. Many is the house, lately full of inhabitants that now has scoreeIy oas left to tell the story of the departed. Husband aud wife will take their tea together at evening and be fore the next morning, one or both is reAdy for the grave.
 Some of the sextOns, oVertssked, bury the dead a, half the usual depth. The City Government have abdcsted their powers before an indignant Popu lace, aud the duties of the Board of Health are de- volved upon a committee of citizens. The public school houses are turned into hospitals, and the chief business of ths living is to take of the sick aud dying, and to bury the dead.
