THE ON CEMETERY,

In tnlS age OF cnange, IL may nOk DC Known u
the younger part ofonr Acohihidhty, and I'd those
who have recently come among us, that the Gem
etery which surrounds the Episcopal church in
| Staunton was the only public receptacle of the
dead, in this vicinity, for more than one hundred
years Yet such is the fact. Persons of all de-
nominations and of all colors, were buried there
for more than a century, and the fact that no
room was left for new graves, compelled our cit
liens, in 1850, TO establish the new cemetery.
| 1t is a mistake, therefore, to suppose that the
old cemetery was appropriated exclusively to the
burial of persons connected with the Episcopal
church. There is no old citizen of Staunton, of
any denomination, who has not some, who were
nearand dear to him, buried in the 'old church-
yard
The ladies (Heaven bless them y have recently
undertaken, by their unaided efforts, to place an
iron-fence along the front of this venerable GEM
etery. This is step in the right direction, but
it is not all that is necessary. The gentlemen
must now do their part. 1t is proper, not only
to enclose the lot but also to render the grounds
attractive. A proper respect to the memory of
our ancestors demands this tribute of affection
and reverence at our hands. AT present. this
beautiful lot situated in the heart of our town. is
most unsightly object, overgrown with weeds,
and sprouts from ailanthus, aspen, and locust
trees.
All these trees should be removed, and their
places supplied by beautiful frs, and other ever
greens and ornamental trees, which put up no
sprouts, and are appropriate to place of sepul-
ture. If this were done, this lot which is now an
eyesore and reproach to our community, would
be rendered an ornament to the town. There are
few things which mark more distinctly the pro-
gress of civilization and refinement than the res
pect that is shown to the ashes of the dead. Let
us not prove ourselves, in this respect behind the
spirit of the age
Within the old temetery, lie the remains of
Alexander st. Clair and Judge Archibald Stuart
two of the founders of the town. Near them
are the ashes of those, who in their day and gen
Grafton, were the leading men of our community.
Among them, we remember the names of Daniel
Shelley, John Il. Peyton, Joseph COwan, Peter
Heskell, DIR. VIM Boys, john G. Sowerss Jacob
Kinney, Chesley Kinney, DR.. Addison Waddell,
John Mcdowell, Gen Samuel Blackburn, Vim
cent Tapp, NJ CARRIER, NJ. Hartman, E. Stribling,
Capt Williamson, and hundreds of others. Sure
ly the descendants Of such men, owe it to their
memory, that their last resting place should be
kept decently- and in order. gGD
The cost of converting what is now All entan-
gled waste into object of beauty and interest,
will not exceed two or three hundred dollars.
Let the gentlemen of the town now take this
matter in hand and have the work DONE We
will contribute our share, and we doubt if there
is man in the town who will withhold his aid
in this work of affection and pety.
Let the subscription paper be, started at once,
and no time be lost in perfecting the good work.

has become the most popular medicine of the
day. AS an evidence of that fact, the proprietor
has been furnished with upwards of 1000 certif-
Gates from the citizens of Richmond and the adj
joining counties where it has made most remark
able cures of Dyspepsia, Nervous Headache of
long standing; also Ague and Fever, Heartburn,
Coles, Cholera Morbus Dysentery and Sum
mer Complaints. The great confidence created
in the healing power of this medicine is that some
of the above-dseased patients testified they had
been given up by their regular physicians Some
of the most eminent physicians in the State of
Virginia are using it in their regular practice,
and good many OF them will not-be without it
in their own families. This is what we call pop

We are told they are invaluable with languid

WASHINGTON, April II.
1t has been ascertained that the Rus
sian Minister here has no authority from
his government to extend the time stipu-
lated in the treaty between the United
States and Russia for the payment Of the
money for the Alaska purchase as
long as may be necessary. In view Of the
fact it is understood that the State De
partment has despatched Ward H. Lamon
of this city to Russia to obtain from that
government as long an extension of time
as may be necessary to get the House to
make an appropriation to pay for Alaska.
1t is the opinion Of the Russian Minister
here that there will be no trouble in pre-
vailing upon his government to grant the
necessary extension Of time.
