be exchanged at City Point near Richmond,

Our Cemetery.


The annual repairs in our cemetery are in
process of complexion, and the grounds are
assuming an inviting appearance The trees
and shrubbery generally present thrifty
aspect, and with the facilities aft rled for
watering hv the fountains, so we'll located
for the purpose, still greater Improvement
must soon be noticeable, and the day is not
fal distant when it will be difficult to find a
cemetery in the country exceIing this, except
Greenwood or Mount Auburn. These We
never expect to see excelled beyond the
limits of populous and wealthy cities.
Many OF our citizens feel a degree OF pride
in preserving the beauty Of the grounds ;
and that such may be the case the rules OF
the association should be well understood
ana adhered to implicitly, especially those
requesting that visitors should close the gate
in passing in and out; the prohibition upon
! fastening horses to trees the breaking of
of branches of trees and shrubbery, and the
! plucking of flowers, and all Interference
with the fountains or their fixtures. Parents
m ay well take the trouble to instruct their
children in these matters. The water in the
main fountain upon the hill is of an eAcellen,
quality for drinking, and IA cup will ne found
there for Use by visitors.
With all the existing beauties of our GEM
etery it may not be amiss to suggest that
individuals may, by a little expenditure CT
| time, still add to them. Some. having friends
buried in their lots, are, seeming Y, very for
gettul of them. Here and there are graves
sunken and of uneven surface, and the lots
destitute OF flower or any green thing except
weeds and tlistles, and a stranger would at
once conclude upon noticing such that the
buried there had left no friends upon earth.
Weeds and briars spliAg up and flourish
where affection should beautify and adorn.
All such torbiddinS appearances should spec
Oily be made to disappear and we take the
liberty to ask the living friends of the neg
lected dead to visit the cemetery and 10 make
such improvements in their lots as are too
apparent to be overlooked, and such as the
hand Of affection naturally and ought cheer
fully to bestow. Our departed friends have
but just stepped into eternity before us, and
shall VI entirely forget them, Or the spot
where their remains rest {.

Last Saturday as Clarence, son Of ID. p.
Wi,comb of this village was assisting in lac
M some betting at Paddock's machine shop,
he got entanged in the same and was carried
around shaft revolving 100 times minute
antil the man who was with him had time to
run into another shop, several rods Distant
and shat the gate. The boy was not killed,
as might have been anticipated, but his left
arm was broken both above and below the
Show, one leg shockingly lacerated, and his
feet were badly bruised and mapgled. 1t
was wonder he was not killed, as he proba
bly, revolved around the shaft nearly 100
times, his feet and legs striking the timbers
overhead and an iron cylinder below a, each
revolution. We learn that he is in fair way
10 recover from all his injuries.

their cell with bit, (the only tool they had,)
removing the refuse between the holes by
fire. which they controlled by wet towel.
taking out apiece of the timber large enough

THEMSELVES to the ground, some 80 feet be-
DIV. All easily done. They stole the jailor's
Alrse and wagon in which they made their
escape. The horse was found in swamp
n Lebanon, n H., and Calf, one of the
prisoners, was re-arrested in Springfield.
One Oscar Beard was still at large at last
accounts. On last Friday night the jail at
Iras5urg was emptied of its occupants. 1t
seems that the jaior allowed Meiggs Hill to
