The Country Rmrying Ground.

II there is anything that needs lcgis-
lation, if nothing more, it is the coun-
try burying ground, for what is every
body's business is nobody's business.
Every town in this state should be
taxed for the care of the grounds of
the dead, and the authorities should
see to it that they discharge their duties,
and the tax so raised be judiciously
expended. To-day the most deplora-
bic spot on earth is the rural cemetery.
No care is taken of the grounds oft
times the fences are down, leaving it
open for pasturage; the head stones
lean this way and that; weeds, briars
and bushes vie with each other for
supremacy, and these things are seen
in the wealthiest towns of our state.
The late Mr.. Brigham, of Boston, left
to his native town-Bakersfield-a
handsome sum, the annual revenue
from which is to be expended in caring
for the cemetery of that town, but
there are not Brigham's enough for the
whole state. The next legislature
should take decided action on the sub
ject, and if 1t is not infected too much
with the idea Of maple sugar, butter
and cheese, we think it will Bur-
lington Clipper.

From our regular correspondence
WASHINGTON LETTER.

The result of the Star-route trial
adds one more to the violent shocks
which our jury system has recently re-
ceivel, and there must be some doubt
in the minds of intelligent men how
many more such the system can stand.
There has all along been misgiyings
about this iury--its competence to deal
with the case. But the most sanguine
friends of the accused never hoped for
an acquittal. 1t wos generally believed
that the defendants were sure of one
Or more jurors, and disagreement
was on this account looked for; but
announcement of Il verdict of mot
guilty" created universal surprise and
amazement. How it was brought
about is a profound mystery as yet.
1t gives the phenomenal result of de-
claring innocent, with the others, one
defendant who was convicted on the
first trial and who entered a plea of
guilty in the present trial. But this
verdict will not change the one which
the honest, intelligent American peo-
pie rendered against these plunderers
long ago, when the facts were first
made known. And in all the circum-
stances and intricacies of the memoir
able trial there is but one redeeming
teature-the record made of Richard
Merrick as attorney for the people.
Whatever may be thought of the char
acter Or good faith of the fellow Bliss,
who, as an old chum of the President
has received somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 of the peoples
money for his part in the affair, no.
body doubts that in Mr.. Merrick the
government had at least one attorney
who was honestly working to punish
rascality. And he performed his part
nobly. That justice has been cheated
is certainly not his fault p.

A terrible calamity, involving the
death of 1856 children, occurred in the
town of Sunderland, in the county OF
Durham, England. Wednesday eve

given in Victoria hall by a conJurer'

by children. Several thousand were
in attendance. The accident occurred
at the close of the performance. The
children had to pass through a narrow

and fell, when the crowd pressed and
others fell, and the result was similar
to that of the Brooklyn bridge catas-
trophe.

Allow me through your much
read columns to speak few words
about pleasant evening spent in
the country. The occasion was a
dance given to Mr.. John Walker,
son of David Walker, Esq, aud
Berkeley's fairest sons and daugh-
tiers made up the assemb iage.
Long before s O'Clock a long train
OF sieigbs, laden with their preci-
Gus occupants, drove up the lane
leading to the above named gen
tleman house, where they were
very kindly met and ushered into
the large rooms on the first floor,
where the old fashioned wood
fire had impaired "a comfortable
warmth. 1.-THE fiddles soon began
to sing and in response to their
irresistible music host Of merry
youths and maidens took their
places, and went whirling around
on the light fantastic toe. The
music rose sweeter and more live
iy, causing those present TO dance
with vim and dexterity. Those
who have attended good-old
country dance, can understand
how the boys felt. The affair
was throughout grand and
pleasant occasion: one long to be
remembered by those participant
ing. The kindness which was
shown by those at whose house it
was held, shall ever be remem-
bered with pleasure. After many
hours of enjoyment, the teams
"homeward took their way,'
much to the regret of all present.
