River Bend Cemetery.

| THE Trustees of this Association, at their
l. last meeting, resolved that further no.
tice should be given to the public, and es-
pecially to those who have determined to
take lots in the Cemetery, to make their Sc
lections without delay. The grounds have
necessarily been prepared at considerable
cost, and the Company are unwilling to 60
on with further improvements, though much
needed, until lots shall have been taken to
meet the expenditure already made.
There is no want Of feeling or interest in
any who have visited this appropriate and
beautiful spot. All seem to realize the i'm
portance of the work, but it must be readily
seen how entirely its success is dependent
on the encouragement, and especially the
early encouragement which is given to it.
Rev. Mr.. Taylor, uperntendant, is now en-
gagged on the grounds, in fitting up lots
which have already been taken, and in Il
manner very credtable to his skill Hewill
be there on Tuesday and Friday of each
week to give any information wanted by
persons applying for lots.
The present price being much lower than
the usual rates, it is now expected there
will be some advance in the price of lots af-
ter the lst day of August next.

application by the Southern Courts, evinces
great and careful research. Your book is
as impregnable against the charge Of exag-

that, it consists Of propositions and demon
strations. The book is not only true, but it
