 X new cemetery has long been needed in Bethlehem. The "old burying ground" is To- cated nearly mile from the village, in cold. bleak place, where the surroundings are all save by sthe howl of the sterm wind, and creaks of the bier" But not so with the new cemetery, which is located short distance from the Churches, on the brow of the hill which slopes towards the setting sun, and the surroundings are all pleasant and attractive. The lots, walks and avenues have been laid out with goed taste, and the directors seem to be doing all that men can do in order to rift and dispel the gloom which hangs like an i'm penetrable cloud around the grave.
