The recen; J,hn Quincy Adams il is
said recommended The following plan as
an infall,ble means Of preserving and Of
restoring eyesighi:
"When the sight is too short, close the
eles, press the finger gently ouiwardiy
from the nose across the eyes. Short sight
is caused by too grea, roundness ofihe eye,
and rubbing or wiping them from their in
ner towards their outer angles, flat'ens
them, and thus lengihens or extends their
angle Of vision. Bu, as long sight is caused
by too grea, Gainess Of the eyes, passing
the fingers or towel from their outward an
gles inwardly, of course rounds them up,
and thus preserves The sight. By this SIM
pie means, all persons can adjust their
sigh, to their liking, so as TO read without
glasses Just as well when old as young.
The value Of this knowledge is second on
ly TO that OF sight.

fUenfV years :

Total, Gel in abou. 30 years, being an average of
81 per year-abou. one half being children. j,
is to be understood that Mr.. Me,zger was not the
only grave-dgger in town, and the list is there
fore not complete and many Of those inferred
were from adjoining townships.
The burying grounds in this Borough have
been used 64 years ! think, regularly-and for
so years past, probably SO persons have been
buried there every year. This would make $500
buried there since 1900, and perhaps 500 were
inferred in the 35 years previous-300O in ALL
The question here arises, Is it not advisable TO
discontinue the use of those grounds Who that
wishes his own remains to repose undesecrated
can dare thrust spade into the ground where he
may, if he is not certain to invade the marrow
house" of some feIlov-moral1 The dead have
a right to repose undisturhed. And besides, the
practice Of interring the dead in the midst Of the
living, Is productive Of injury TO health. II is
not asking too much Of all good citizens, while
Cemetery is so convenient, TO bury their friends
hereafter, where they will probably no, remove
others nor be themselves removed. w.
TIVE would suggest that the Cemetery
Corporation procure the record above referred to,
as it may be useful and interesting TO keep for
future reference and evidence. Mr.. RoHLAND,
the Sexton, Keeps a full and accurate list of all
the burials in the Cemetery, which are inserted
weekly in the Chronicle. Those burying in the
old yards, will please hand in the notices.

Orcharding Profitable.

ln a conversation few days since with
father Taylor, one Of our railroad direc-
tors, he informed Us that brother Of his
residing in Bel grade, sold las, season, from
h;,e more than two acres in extent,
somewhere about Eve hundred dollars
worth Of apples. From the same orchard,
some four or five years since, he sold 1000
bushels a, 0s. Per barrel, amounting TO the
sum OF 5000. This may be called profit
able farming. l, our farmers would but
attend 10 this department OF their business
properly, Maine would soon ezpor! apples
enough II purchase all Of her necessary
supplies Of West ladia goods, and indeed
al o:hcr articles of consumption which
can no, be ob.ainci d, home. An orchard
Of ten or twelve acres well p.uned and
properly cultivated, will yield mere Ec'
profit than can be obtained in any o,her
manner from single farm in Maine. j.
is now a favorabi. season for looking after
this matter, and We urge upon all having

able to stand all the changes Of weather,
wthou: taking cold and becoming sick.
Then the leaves will not blight. nor the
stalks become fungus. II these two evils
can be avoided, the potatoes will not rot.
Another advantage is, the potatoes can be
planted much earlier, in this way, in turf
land, than in oil mellow land. This is my
theory, and have preached it TO the farm
ers ever since the rot began; and most of
them have ridicu!ed it as one of my odd
notions and perhaps i. is, but the potatoes
have continued to rot, especially when well
