~OlEpsLE CEMETERY AT an election held
by the stockholders Of the O,kdae GENE
terry Company, las: Monday, the retiring
directors were elected, and this msrning,
Al a meeting OF the Board at the Office o.
the President, the following officers wsls
rc>elected to serve for the ensuing year.
President-B. B. Woodward.
Secretary-Isrsel Hall.
Treasursr-II. II. Smith.
The Secretary's report, shows that the
tetal receipts from sals Of lets for the year
1865 Was 81 iii. so; the total sxpendi !
lures for opening new entracc, making
roaiwav, stone cnlvsrt, ,uiacadamizing, and
other Important improvements, amounted
to 81 ,Gl1.lo. These improvements add very
materially to the appearance and tie avails-
bility Of the grounds. and we believe it is
the policy Of the Board to continue these
improvements from year to wear until the
main avenues shall all be thoroughly graded
and macadamized and the grounds put In
the most attractive manner. The sale 81
lots continues to increase yearly, and the
elmpsny is thus encouraged TO continue
the work vigorously. Ii should be wei
understood bT the public that every lot
owner in Orkdale is = stockhclder, and has
. voice in its management; that every dol
lar received is returned to the grounds in
the way Of Improvements; it being the de-
sign Of the corporation to make this csme-
terry the mos. delightful Of any in this local
ity. New maps Of tho grounds have been pre-
pared from new surveys. one Of which will
be framed and hung up in some public
pace, that the people may judge Of the 10
cations and make selections.
