The presbyterian grave yard In Flem-
ington, is slowly but surely being desert
ed. A great many bodies are being re-
moved to Prospect Hill Cemetery. Six
were taken up last Wednesday, and others
are to follow soon. The old Presbyterian
yard has always been an exceedingly wet,
springy piece of ground, and was never
fit for burial place. We saw some of
the graves opened last Wednesday, and
the remains of number of children that
had been buried upwards of forty years
taken up. In those days they did not put
the coffin into good strong cases as they
do at this day. The bare coffin was de-
posted in the grave and single plank
placed over it. All the graves were full
of water, and the coffips greatly decayed.
