Why have no steps been yet taken in regard
to procuring a suitable piece Of land as q
cemetery? Il is high time that some mea-
of that Kind be taken. L IS true that 50

have been, still we have had some buTiaLs and
cannot hope to escape any great length Of

pose is laid out n city lots, and ali owned by
persons who have bought them at private sale
and mostly for speculation and scarcely any
of them feel Ike yielding their right to land

consulted in regard to the matter; while a
number Of the lots are sold and resold almost
every day BY Qaners ata distance, who do not
even know they are used cor this purpose.
Independently Of this, the location is not a
good one. In a short time the inhabited por-

"a queer story IS going the round of the

a nurnbes Of oshes,a and cue death subsequently
occurred. A post moTiem examih4tiOn was
made and suficieut asseliic discovered IN the
stomach to produce death
Il was first stated that the water tanks had
Ieen poisoned by rats who had fed to them
and died after eating arsenic, but an apalisO Of
the water proved this ID be untrnef but still
the distemper continued. Further analyses
irers made--analyses low of mills, soup. veg

dEank-yrsit Is row positively asserted that
up to this time no clue has been discovered to
the mysterious poison.
The rat theory. then being rejected, and th'
deleterous material havingnot been discovered
in the food. there are some who believe tina
the poison was secretly administered BIZ human
hands. to accomplish some internal scheme
which the imagination can only guess at
The whole transaction is one suggestive of
