be gratifying to all persons of taste and
sensibility and especially so to the be-

In this connection it may be well to
refer to the very improper practice
some have 1--WE suppose thoughtlessly)
INDUCED, of driving vehicles across the
burial plots instead of keeping in the
drives, of which such an ample pro-
vision has been made by the-Company
This has been done on several burial
occasions when it is especially impro-
per. The mere mention of this matter
we think is sufficient to prevent any
repetition of this kind in the future.
