THE UNBuKIED DEAD.-On Sunday after
noon numerous dead bodies were lying on the
ground in the Lafayette Cemetery, for the want
Of force to perform the work of sepulture.-
The Chairman of the Committee on Cemeteries,
repaired to the spot about dark Near there he
found the chain gang" which had been en-
ployed from early in the afternoon in the work
Of burial, coming away, having been unable to
inter all the bodies. He prevailed on them, by
promises of extra pay and supper, to 60 back
and resume the work. On arriving at the Gem
etery, he found seventy one bodies laying piled
on the ground, swollen and bursting their cof
fins, and enveloped in swarms Of flies. 1t is
reported that the reason why burial could no,
be procured in the Lafayette Cemetery, was
because the Sexton refused to pay more than
twenty cents each for digging the graves. This
| official gets dollar from the Corporation fol
each body buried, and if from niggard motive
he failed to have the graves dug, to meet the
requirements of the times, he deserves the mos
unreserved censure of the community O
