with high and well-fnished stone fence WITH
in the wall will be planted hedge. 1t isa
most beautiful and appropriate spot. On one
side runs the river, calm and still behind rises
to the height of four five hundred feet, steep
cliff of rocks, partly covered with trees. This
cliff extends around nearly in the form OF an
amptheatre, and falls away gradually, on each
hand. as it nears the river. The ground is hiiiy,
but smooth, and has gradual descent towards
the river 1t can easily DO adorned with ponds
and fountains Roads, avenues and paths are
being cut through all parts Of the grounds, and
mulch care is taken to have the work done IN a
finished and tasteful manner. twill be thickly
set with trees, and will be, soon, one OF the most
beautiful Cemeteries in New England"
