Rev. Mr. rockingham preached sermon
last Sunday in New York on the question OF
cremation. He showed that the interment of
the dead was custom derived from the Jews,
who made the graves sacred places. People
cling to the graves of their dead friends almost
as closely as to their living friends. Cremation.
however, was as old and as grand as any other
method. The Greeks had their sacred fire,
and the practice is known to have prevailed
among the aborigines of North America. Gre
nation couduoed to the health of the living,
and we substituted pure ashes for'the fostering
mould.

gave promise of being the best for many year.
The cause has been two-fold. The spring has
been backward, and next the high cold winds,
and low temperature, have kept the fish from

than last year. The same complaint reaches
