Another year has passed and again have we
to chronicle it's work, which we do with pecu.
liar pleasure and gratitude to the f&iver OF all
Good, who, amid all the adverse circumstances
which have surrounded us. has enabled us still
to progress, aud even complete this mucn of
our sacred iabors. I'd the members of this as
sooiatiop it must be q source OF qualification to
know that the first portion OF our task Is done,
sacred charge we have undertaken to keep,
without reproach. A glance within the neat
enclosure Of evergreens will give to the be-
holder some evidence of the toll and care
of the past three years. and to us full
compensation in the fact that our recording
tablets, now complete, stand in place to mark
each hal'0wed resting spot OF the silent sleeper
below, snatching as it we're from the obliterat-
| ins shapd OF Time their names and position. SO
