OAK HILL CEMErERY.-We paid a visit to
this beautiful resting place of the dead yester.
day, and were struck with the improved ap
pearance of the place. A number Of workmen
are constantly employed in clearing the place
of such things as tend to mar its beauty, in ar
ranging the paths, aud in making various other
improvements, calculated to make the spot in
teresting and attractive. The scene, looking
up Rock creek from one of the mounds here
was grand and beautiful in the extreme. The
winding course of Rock creek, covered as it
was with ice, and the barren hills all around,
served to make the scene peculiarly interesting.
Oak Hill Cemetery is rapidly improving, and
is destined ere long, for beauty, to become a
second Greenwood.
