MR. wo.rHINeToN's ACCOUNT

WARRINGTON. ~. H., 1870.
Mr.. L. W. WOrthingtOn to Glenwood cemetery,
Dr.: April s, resodding three graves, S225; June
%, 1857, to setting sets OF head and foot
stones, 50; April g. 1867, to interest," 1885, total,
$3.50.
SO Mr.. Clendenin declines to listen to communi-
cations from committees, any member OF which
debted to that close corporation This is the
plain English Of the above letter. The causes
which have led the lot-holders of GlenwOod to
combine have been set before the public in various
forms, and, are now very generally understood
They have recently discovered that the cemetery
is managed by few men in New York as pecu-
MARY speculation Those of the lot-holders who
have taken trouble to hunt up the history of the
cemetery in the public records, claim that the
men in New York hold no valid title and cannot
therefore convey any title to the purchasers of
lots. These are the prime causes for the cOmbi-
nation of Ot-hOlders. The lot-hOlders fear that
when the cemetery ceases. to be source of reve-
nue., the New York company, who will no longer
have any interest in it, will abandon it..
Some have suggested that, in case of the death
of the real owner of the property, from whom it
never was transferred to the corporation, his
heirs, if they choose so to do, may claim the cem
etery as part of his estate. Many other points
have been advanced and there is a general feel
ing Of insecurity among the lOt-hOlders. In order
TO reach all who have an interest in the cemetery
the committee. Of which Mr.. WorthingtOn was
one, was appointed to wait upon Mr.. Clendenin
and procure list OF the lot-owners. To grant
this request Mr.. Clendenin fatty refused, as the
committee states, and as Mr.. Clendenin indicates
in his own communication. His reason for refus
ing is the ridiculous one that 4 member of the
committee was in arrears to the company, and he
adds that il is account of that the bill
amending the cemetery charter has been framed.
The cemetery corporation have the same prOtec-
tiOn in law against delnquents.as any other busi-
ness combination. However fOrcible Mr.. Glen
DENNIS reasons for refusing the list may appear
to him, those who read his communication cannot
fail to get the impression that he, as the repre-
sentative of the company, is afraid that the lot
holders association will grow in numbers and is
determined to do all in his power to cripple the
association in its efforts tOcOmmunicate with such
of the IOthoIders as have not yet Joined its ranks
The Indebtedness of Mr.. WOrthingtOn any
other lOt-holder Of the association can have no
real connection with the merits of the issue in
and we do not see that Mr. Clendenin strengthens
his case at all by his REF. NAT

Freaks Of the Wind.

To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR; Not less sudden ip approach than amusing
in performance was the liliputian tornado of yes
terday afternoon. As its comical fcats resulted
mainly from its suddenness so, by its brief dura-
tion its action was confined chiefly upon airy moth
ings. Dimity tapped at random before the blast,
and skeleton skirts rose immodestly, If not pro-
yokipgly high, in the streets. Extra ''pin-backs'
contributed their full quota of the motive power,
and their fastenings failed not in the reckless
speed The "fair Sec" If not extremely above
par, were quoted at extremely high rates. But
the cause subsded too soon to allow idle spectators
to Judge calmly as to its ultimate and general
effects or holders to get their xings Immediately
into proper shape In the hurry of the moment
chance ruled the movements Of all alike who were
caught out in the wet and gale-f e., by fits and
starts; hut poodle dogs, with bushy tails made
better time" than either the statute Of limitation
or their short legs allowed them. In brief. the
laws Of trade were reversed-genteel ladies
were driven into saloons, among gazing loafers,
and the male persuasion forced themselves into
dressmakers' apartments, &C., &c. Consequently
no actual sales were made, though many were
there "to see." But delicacy bids me to drop the
subject, and say nothing about 1t. L.

Arch Cooney's Own Book,

The author of the thrilling and famous pen pic
ture, "Down Among the Dead Men," the late
William Hall, esq, had, more than a year ago,
arranged for publication, in book form, series OF
his most interesting and amusing stories and let
ters, under the title Of "Wit and Humor; or, Arch
Cooney's Own Book" sc. The sickness and death
of the author at New Orleans last spring, how
ever, preventing the publication, the widow of the
deceased, Mrs. g. Hall, of this city, proposes to
have the work published on the subscription plan.
She is at present engaged in canvasslng for sub
scrbers, and we hope that she may receive liberal
encouragement. Mr.. Hall was formerly resi-
dent OF Washington, and had q well-earned repu-
tatlon as fluent and able writer, and the above
collection Of his writings will doubtless prove to
be worth more than double the subscription price
