o. Il has been often remarked
that the character Of the living poph
lation Of q city may be correctly in.
/ ferfed from the care and respect paid
TO the dead. The discretion of the
spot where loved ones lie entombed Is
suggestive of sad feelings, however
little IN .fuct Of injury may be done,
and if the remark suggested above be
true, our country would be but poorly
esteemed when the tombs Gifts Pres
ident's are outraged by such as the
following, which is clipped from Gin
cinnati paper;
There is not, in nature, a more {, IL
" beautiful spot, wherein the dead
should lie, THAI that at North Bend.
But, alas how rude hands Of unfeel-
ing visitors had destcrated it. Ev-
erything bore evidence Of neglect, de-
cav, aud saeriligivus p,llage. The
door covering the steps which lead to
the vault was off its hinges, torn off,
as We were told, by some picnic par
ties, 10 serve az table on which to
spread their provisions and drinks =
and after being thus used, it had been
thrown down the hill, where it was
lying leaving the entrance TO The
tomb open and exposed to the winds
and the rains. The fence, too, which
encloses the spet was broken; the
shrubbery planted by the hands of
affection, was tra'npled upoi, the sap
lngs we're mutilated and bruken. The
while thing. indeed, was ruin, and
50 it remains, The family at North
Bend have done all in their power to
preserve the grounds from violation,
but without effect, and unless sumo
thing is done that will etfeetually pre-
vent these shameless acts of sacriege,
the whole structure will tun|bh down.
