Woodbine Cemetery.

We took walk out to the new Cemetery
the other day, and was pleased to notice
that some of the owners of the lots ha ID
begun to make improvements of sub
stantial kind. The general appearance of
the enclosure, however, suggested to our
mind, that there should be some one to
have the care of it, and that there should
be some kind of an organization perfected
by those owning lots. There should be-
also, tomb built for the accommodation
of all concerned. The fence will need
looking after soon; aud there is much to
be done to make this newly selected rest
ing place for our dead look neat and
crcditablc to the taste and Judgment of
those interested.
Among the improvements lately made,
and lots which have been enclosed and
laid out, that which struck us most favor
ably, is one near the centre Of the grounds
owned by the Peters family. On this lot
there has been erected fine Granite
Monument to the memory of the late
Andrew Peters Esq. This monument, as
"a work of art, does great credit to the
skill of b. w. Darling Esq, of Bluehill,
under whose direction the work was ac-
conplished. The dimensions are as fol-
laws Base 4 feet and inches square.
an | . feet and 3 inches high. Moulded
\

, feet and , inches high. Shaft. . feet
and inches at the base, foot and .
inches at the top, and 10 feet and inches
nigh making the whole hight l6 feet and
9 inches. The Peters lot is 40 feet long
and 20 feet wide, enclosed with border
stone, fourteen inches deep and seven
inches thick,-fine hammered on the top
and seven inches on the front, and return
ed on the back side three inches. There
are thirteen granite posts, also fine ham
mcred, eight inches at the lower end, and
seven inches at the top, and set two feet
and six inches above the border stone, and
in the ground three fcct-with step III
the gateway three feet square. Between
the posts and connected with them are
two bars of one inch iron. This forms a
and at the same time hand
some border fence. Adjoining this lot, is
that of Arno Wiswell Esq, enclosed in
the same substantial manner.
1t is to be hoped that others owning lots
will not let the season pass without taking
to have such Improvements made
as will make the grounds pleasant place
to look on for the living.

Tu.roN & McFARLANp's SarE.-We
have in our Office ene of these safes, and
invite the public TO examine it. We will
also take orders to supply them. We copy
the enclosed notice from the Bangor Times
of May Eth:
TnTeN & MeFAsiASp's SAFrs.-Our
attention was called Yesterday to "A large
safe manufactured by Tlton & McFar-
land OF New York. recently placed in the
Office If the County Treasurer. weighing
10000 lbs. 1t combines many advantage.
and Improvements new TO us. On the
outside there Is AN extra plating of steel.
auG also a steel vault inside, thus adding
greatly to the security of lis contents in
the event of Il fire. and aiiording the great
est possible protection against burglars.
Our County Commissioners aud the
County Treasurer, being determined to
thoroughly test this safe prior to deposit
ing the county papers and funds therein.
employed one III our hest machinists To
test the quality Of the steel by the use Of
cliisel and drill. The result of the test
was 10 satisfy the machinist that i, would
be impossible Ia penetrate even one sheet
w sinsit hiSHt. but IHe Iiiost wonder
ful thing about il. and that for which it is
especially remarkable, is the Cline. Com
bination Lock attached To both the inner
and outer door, These locks are utterly
impcryious to false keys or powder, and
appear to us as near burglar proof as any
thing can be made. They can be so ar
ranged that only the party who sets the
lock can possibly open it. This. is often
times an advantage, as key lost or stolen
can be made useless at once. Quite a
number OF our merchants have adopted
this safe, and dispensed with former ones.
among whom We are permitted to mention
the following; Messrs. Thompson & Ilich-
born, c. Hayward & CO., J. +. and C.. G..

ADVANCE IN PRIcEs.--Tbe past week
there has been material advance in most
kinds of goods. Gold has advanced 3 / >
cents TO li2 l-2. Cotton goods have ia
ken a start sympathising with advance in
other departments. but especially from
scarcity. On dry goods the New York
Indepeadent says:
Production has been siintcd. and the
receipts of cotton from the South are too
slow for the demand. Leading styles in
print are higher. and the market Is active.
Brown shrting and slieeting have advanced
two cents, with an active demand and
light supply. Bleached goods have also
risen TIVE cents, and some styles three
cents, and are scarce. Drills have ad-
vanced one aud two cents. Stripes are
higher by two and two and half cents
and are in good demand. Denirns are
quiet In dclaipes, the offering of Fall
STYLES attracted special aud active de-
mnnd which cleared the market Of the new
goods. Prices are higher. and demand
strong. In fancy cassinercs the business
is active. Heavy goods are selling for the
Fall trade. Prices are very buoyant.-
Satinets are scarce and firm. Broad
cloths are steady. Flanncls are advanc-
ing in price, with an active demand The
dry goods market seems to have dispensed
with its usual summer holiday. The ris-
ing market ut once stimulates buyers, aud
holds back sellers, who forcscc "A scarcity

says the Lewiston Journal. i. brisk trade

next season is good. At least good trade
will be driven all through the season and

ton and excess Of currency is stimulating
speculation and prices. maintaining the
premium on gold too high. The impede
mcuts TO the movement Of cotton are still
great but when removed there will be IA
reaction throughout the market.

HALIFAX, July IL.
BY the Alpha We have the statement of
Captain Hart of barque Meteor. He
searched day and half for the unfortu-
nate passengers Of the ship Nelson, the
wreck Of which was scattered over miles
Of water. Passengers say that on Sunday
tlsc 25tl ult., the captain determined to
fumigate the ship. A pot of pitch was ia
ken into the lower hold, and red hot irons
thrown into it. The pitch ignited and
boiled over, setting the ship Oh ire.
When. it was found impossible to save
the ship. the officers. with the cabin pas
sengers, left in the ships boats. The ship
soon burned to the waters edge and sunk.
carrying down over four hnndred passen-
gers. The scene is described as truly
lcartrending.
Capt Hart says, another ship FIVE or six
miles off was apparently searching for the
wrecked passengers, aud has undoubtedly
saved some. All had been three days and
three nights on the water. Tae male pas
sengers saved are recovering. bat the. fe-
male passengers are badly burned about
the arms and legs.

Thursday Morning, yuIy ,s, iss5.

The family of the father of the editor
of this paper has been deeply afflicted
within the past two weeks. Sad
thoughts crowd upon our memory. A
sweet sister, just blooming into woman
hood, has been ruthlessly snatched away
by the hand of death. An aged and
honored grandmother has gone to her
long home. Deeply are we afflicted.
Death, not satisfied with his ravages in
our immediate family, has, too, within
the week, taken to his embrace a kind
and devoted sister-in,law. Truly has
the grim monster made sad work ilr our
families, stripping them of their most
loved ornaments. They have gone.
May the angels of Heaven have waited
their spirits to the JUICE Of all hearts,
and He, in HIS MERCY, given them a
place upon His right hand, there for.
ever to be at rest, and to enjoy the con.
soling thought that their life upon this
earth was well spent.

That South Carolina has laid down her

the blessings Of peace, nor the protec.

not any persons in this State who have
the purpose or the inclination to renew

and complete restoration of our relations
to the Constitution Of the United States

great want of our whole country. In
view Of these desirable ends, we pledge
in good faith, ready and unreserved sub
mission and obedience to all lawful au.
thority.
The state Of our exhausted means
and resources requires the fostering care
of law and order. Parts of our State
are under the inconvenient restraints of
military authority, whilst large sections,
including that in which we live, are
without any form of government. All
civil rule and rulers are suspended and
