walks TO the Grave Yards.

| Doubtless it will be convenience and a
pleasure to the proprietors of the Forest
Grove Cemetery" for the city to construct a
concrete sidewalk on Green street. all the
way to their beautiful grounds Which are PRIV
ate property; but there is, on the opposite
side of Winthrop street, much larger ceme-
terry, where ten times as many dead repose,
phieh belongs to the city, and is therefore
public property, that needs sidewalk vastly
more than one is necessary on Green street
from Orchard street to the Forest Grove Ne
cropolis. Many more people visit the resting
places of their departed friends in the public
grounds of Mt Vernon and Mt. Pleasant
cemeteries which are Joined in one, than go
to Forest Grove for this purpose; but there
is no sidewalk to it, not even graded path
way; but the distance from Gov. Morrill's
house up Winthrop hill is in a state of nature,
never plough or scraper or hoe having been
employed thereon to construct a passable
walk. No person, after nightfall, could pass
that distance in safety, but would be obliged
to oblique to the center of the great road and
walk in the horses tracks, A concrete side
walk is much more needed to the city Gene
terry extending from its present terminus to
Mt. Vernon gate, than on the upper end of
Green street.
The object of this communication, Messrs.
Editors, is to call the attention of the City
Fathers to the greater Importance and con-
yaniancp NJ Of uc sidewalk N the
public cemetery rather than to a private in
stitution.

4 True Story.

a Irue StOr1s
In slden time a Clergyman in Massachu-
sets, not overs:ocked with literature, was
accustomed to preach long and tedious ser
mons, much to the annoyance Of his hearers
evidently rating his sermon in proportion to
its length. A family who attended his church
were so unfortunate as to have foolish son, a
lad about seventeen; but being very devoted
and conscientious, always took him to meet
ing, although obliged to watch over him as
they would young child, for fear he would
speak out, or make some other disturbance.
Though quite idiotic, he knew when his
stomach required replenishing, and that
when the preacher said "Amen," he would
soon have an opportunity to do SO. On one
occasion, the old clergyman, after preaching
a very lengthy sermon, remarked 'Breth-
rem, what more can say to convince OF
the vanity of these things? What more shall
say?" As quick as thought the foolish boy
arose and cried at the top of his voice,
amen, Ispear" The preacher observing
the laughter and confusion of the people, was
obliged to comply with his request, much to
the relief and satisfaction of all concerned.

A letter received on Saturday by Mr.. J.

pole, Master of the ship "Joseph Fish," con-
veys to Mr.. Wade the sad intelligence of the
death of his son, Chas. H. Wade. He fell

the 4th of March last, longitude 5l0 l6, lat.

heaving the ship to, when it is supposed he
lost his balance, and falling, struck his head
and shoulders on the rail of the topgallant

thought he must have been killed instantly.

have been impossible to save him, as no boat

at the time. The letter was dated Gunope
