Our Cemctety..Where is TT

For the Upton Advertiser.
Have VIC cemetery among US? Is
there any duly constituted and consecrat-
ed place of burial, for our fricuds who
are removed by death !?
We were recently in the observatory
Of the Court House, with some Eastern
friends, pointing out the beauties of the
place, aud the glory of the country round
about. We gazed with delight on the
beautiful prairies, skirted with timber,
and covered with ripeuing grain and
grazing herds. We saw elegant private
dwellings, numerous church edfces, the
public school.house, and the horrid jail,
peeping up in sight of every body, like
'Buttercups that will be seen
Whether we will see. or no."
But where is your cemetery inquired
our friend-your Mt. Auburn or Green
wood-for, place SO beautiful as this to
live in, ought to be provided with suit.
able place to bury the dead in.
We turned to point out the spot,
when, 10 D.! nothing could be seen but a
tangled thicket Of bushes, on the verge
of dismal scamp.
"Is that the way you dispose Of the
dead, in this country? Then I should
choose to die, in the East"
We thought so too.
Really, it is one of the most serious
objections to living IN Upton, that there
is no proper place for the burial of the
dead. Cannot this objection be obviated .?
Is there not public spirit enough, at
least, to clear off the brasil from the spot
now used for this purpose?
If done Thoroughly, at this season Of
the year-with little subsequent care,
the brush might be kept down, and the
place rendered far more inviting, or less
than it now is
If this is not designed to be a perma-
uent burial place, is it not time that We
were moving for another? When can it
be done more properly, or economically
than now! TIMoLEAN.

most universal dissatisfaction exists oil over
this county, owing to the manner in which
the deputy assessor assessed property for
purposes of taxation the present year. The
county commissioners have appointed a GER

will hear ard correct grievances in this re-
spect. Although the day appointed by law
for this purpose has passed, this course is the
only one left open to the commissioners to
avoid vexed law suits with taxpayers, and
to secure the prompt payment Of taxes
That which has led TO all this trouble was
the course pursued by Mr.. HUBBARD, the
deputy assessor, in raising the assessments
in some instances one hundred per cent
above the amount given in by parties, with

But as the commissioners have evinced fheil

every one feeling himself aggrieved by the
assessment as made will come forward on the
day appointed, have the same redressed, and
then cheerfully and promptly pay his pro
portion Of the imposed tax.
