"ALwAYs BE PLANTING A TREE.-Con-
sidering the cost, and small amount Of la
Dor, there is no one thing that so amply
repays, as the planting of tree. Well
grown, it becomes always an object of
beauty, a source ofjoy to the owner and
his family-a pleasure to visitors and to
the residents of neighborhood-adds an
appearance of increased value to the prem
ises-lmproves the general effect of the
scenery, becomes a protection fromScold
winds-reduccs the severity of the tenn
perature-often more admired than the
most costly building, and finally can never
be viewed without thought Of the su-
preme creative Power which "doeth all
things well"

Mr. EDIrOR-I would ask through the
medium of your paper, who has the man
agernent of the Dodgeville grave yard l
think they ought to be superannuated and
other managers appointed that will attend
to their duty.
The burial ground in its present condi
ton is disgrace to the citizens of Dodge
vile. l have been disgusted when paying
the last tribute of respect to some brother
or sister, to see into what dismal place
he or she.was to be deposited.
Is this the way we manifest our love
and respect for our dear departed ones
by giving them grave amongst over
grown weeds and brush, in place which
is disgrace to the civilized world?
1t looks to me like the burial place Of
highwaymen and dogs, instead of Chris
tians.
Hoping for some information in your
next, remain yours, &C.,
REFoRMER.
Dodgeville, Feb. 13, 1868.
For the information of our correspondent
we would say that the grave yard, although
within the village limits, is under the con-
troll Of the Town Board of Supervisors, but
that Mr.. Richard Arundel, the sexton has
the immediate management of the grounds.
Our attention has frequently been called
to the shameful neglect everywhere ap-
parent in and around the Dodgevile ceme-
terry, and we have been requested to pitch
into somebody about it. but as our bust
ness is not pitching in" we have until
now, refrained from saying anything
through the paper in regard to it. But we
think with our correspondent, that it is
time the shameful neglect of the honored
dead of our village was discontinued, and
the grave yard made presentable to civil
lied and christian people. The Town
Board has repeatedly been applied to to
relinquish the control of the grave yard to
the village authorities, but have refused,
and now since the shameful condition OF
the cemetery attracts the attention of every
one who passes, we think the Board should
either attend more faithfully to their bust
ness, or relinquish their claims on the
property.
