A CEMETERY.-Judging from the following,
which We find in the Democrat of this week.
the plan adopted nine months since to secure =
suitable place for cemetery has been virtual
ly abandoned. If this be so, we hope by every
feeling of decency and sense of Christian duty,
that the views of Mr. Hoyt will be carried ont
at once:
MIR. EDITOR: From the interest heretofore
manifested by yourself in Common with tho
conductors Of the other presses of this CITY in
a city Cemetery, take the liberty of address
ing the public through your columns on the
subject VIZ VIZ
In connection with Mr. Bullin now in the city
OF Philadelphia, but who will return next
spring, the undersigned proposes to appropri
ate forty acres of the east half of the n. W. or.
OF section 80, being about mile north of the

acres OF the same as early as practicable next
sprung, and the remainder from time to time "a
IL may DC needed. Through the kindness of his
honor, Judge Meeker, We have the promise ola
plan OF Mount Auburn Cemetery, Boston, and
rom other gentlemen, we will receive certain
plans. and intend from them to select or minple
uhtli we get plan second to none according
to which we will lay out the ground, Lieut.
Simpson has kindly promised to aid ms in our
efforts in this respect
In the meantime, should ii be necessary IN
bury any one before the grounds be laid ont. II
may be done, subject to re-interment afterwards.
II In laying out the grounds it should be neces-
sary.
1t is perhaps proper to allude to the fact that
last winter spot was selected for a cemetery,
ana an organization effected. But the general
sentiment appears to be that it is too far from
Town and in an interview the undersigned had
with Dr. Borup, the President of that organiza-
tlon' ne concurred in the plan here submitted,
and expressed wish that it be carried into Of
feet. ~
ANY person wishing to see the ground or to
bury their dead during the winter, can get the
necessary NJ information by calling on Truman
