BURrISG VS.. BURNING.-The Editor of the
Ozaukee Advertiser thus "dcfines his position"
on this vexcd question:
Greenwood Cemetery isa beautiful argument
on the side of burying. We 60 decidedly for
that mode of disposing of the dead. Give us
six feet of mother earth, rather than sixteen
cords OF hickory. Save us from roasting, either
here or--elsewhere! ......-... - . .

eB Our regular butchers pay some thirty or
forty dollars rent for stall in the old rattle trap
of a market house, BY which arrangement they
acquire notonly the privilege Of selling meat du
ring market hours at the market house, but the
right Of selling at any time from their shops. But
we are told outsiders sell any where they please
without leave or license, and come directly in
competition with those who do pay. This is un-
fair. City regulations should be enforced. If
one pays for the privilege Of retailing, all should

Republican Convention.

The Dubuque Tribune copies our remarks in
regard to the proposed Convention at oskaloosa
in December, and suggests Iowa City and the
ssd Of February as proper day. The day, as
being more distant, and the birthday of Wash
ington, is preferable If such convention is
to meet this winter, the day named is as good a
one as can be mentioned. As to the place it is
not material.
As to this convention We do not wish to inhu-
ence the matter pro or con. We have been of
the opinion that = later day in May or June next
would be preferable and better subserre the ends
aimed at Butin this We are no. strenuous. If
there is general call for meeting at Iowa City
