Communicated
Rural Cemetrfes.

Now that the alarm of pestilence has
long subsidized among US, in the absence OF
cases of sickness on the river, we may look
back to some of the incidents attending the
crowded boats Of early spring, and the worn
and anxious travellers who impatiently and
too soon pressed to our Territory The
following is from a Claremont, n. H.,
paper:
PAINFUL.-We have been favored with the peru
sa Of letter from St. Paul, Minnesota, giving the
particulars of the death, from cholera, of Mr. Fred
erick Bingham, who made one of party which left
this town for ST. Paul about three weeks since, with
cheerful and ardent hopes for the future. The CON-
pany had all enjoyed good health, and nothing occur
red to mar the pleasure of the journey till Sunday
morning, the 2S,h April, when Bingham was taken
with the cholera, and died about O'Clock in the
evening" within two hours sail of the landing at st.
Paul. Ii will be gratifying to the friends Of the de-
ceased here to learn that everything was done that
could be under the circumstances to mitigate his SUI
ferings under the dreadful disease. The captain and
clerk of the boat rendered all the aid in their
and kindly consented to let the body remain on board
over night. Through the kind assistance of Mr.. P.
s. Clement, formerly of Claremont, and the Rev. Dr.
Van Ingen, Episcopal clergyman of st. Paul, the
body inferred in the city cemetery, under the
burial service of the Episcopal church.
There is an error here. Mr.. Bingham's
parents, residing at Chanhassan, are Episco-
palians; and DR.. Van Ingen was applied to
under the painful circumstances of his sud.
den death. Everything was done for him
that kindness could suggest. He was
buried, however, not in the City Cemetry,
a noble monument of public spirit in Saint
Paul. but in the Cemetry of the Episcopal
Church, ] mile nearer town-a plot of ter
acres, beautifully situated and which the
Vestry of Christ Church design to embellish
with everything suitable. In this they de
serve encouragement. In the sale of lots
within the grounds lies the income which is
to be relied on for such purpose. Many
lots are already taken at prices from $40 te
$25; and choice of the whole ground, Of
a lot 20 by 20, is allowed for $25. Mr.
Kern, of the firm of Markly & Kern, have
the plot of the ground, as also the Rector
of Christ Church, at the Mission, and Capt's
Simpson and Dana at their Offices. Lei
such objects be encouraged. x.

DAILY PIONEER.
The City Surveyor.

Quite discussion arose at the meeting
of the City Fathers on Tuesday evening, as
to the propriety of paying City Surveyor
the sum of 81, 500 per annum. There Was
no dissenting remark as to the amount of
duty to be performed, but there was mis-
cradle, haggling spirit expressed, which was
anything but creditabl, to those who show
ed it, and evinced very plainly they loved
the almighty dollar far more than the city's
real interest The salary was cnt down to
$1,000. -.... 80.
Now it is very well to have public serv-
ants work cheap, but the real question is,
shall they work cheap and aoeA shall their
work be reliable All that has been done
previously, and at heavy cost, by the order
Of the City Government seems, under its
present action, to be considered as nothing,
and dead loss and if it is true that over
$4,000 have been thrown away on an un-
truthful and unreliable survey, it is time to
consider, and well, whether it is not better
to pay competent man reasonable sum
for his services, and save all future trouble.
1t may suit the wise notions of some of
those who have seat in Council, to look
only to the City Treasury, and in regarding
the sum to be paid out, to be utterly for
getful of the value of the service to be per-
formed but the property holders of the
city who have been yexed and pestered, al
most beyond endurance, where rights have
been endangered, and who have been, with
out other cause than bad surveys made sub
ject to legal trouble will not thank them for
thestinting, niggardly action theyhave shown.
The Iaborer is worthy Of his hire, and if the
city of St. Paul wants services well render
ed, it ought to pay for them, and if for
anything at all, especially this, in order to
save disputes in all future time. Let the
survey Of our city be made properly and
correctly,-we do not care who does it,
but the one selected should be paid well,
and our City Council betrayed very false
spirit when it placed dollars against merit.
