Telegraphic dispatches announced
yesterday that Gen. Grant died at
o'clock in the morning. His death had
been expected hourly, if not almost
momentarily, for the preceding twenty
hours. AS our paper went to press
late in the afternoon of yesterday, nj
time was afforded for particulars. Th'
news of Gen. Grants death will HAYS
been telegraphed around the world b!
the time this paper reaches the major

suitable public expression. 10 TIL

been mentioned. Doubtless there will
be action of some kind in neighborinl
cities. Nothing here up to this TIM

CEMETERIES.

The intelligence, taste and refine-l
|ment of people of any town or cityl
may be inferred from the condition in|
(which their cemeteries are kept. The
cemetery adjoining this city, Oh the
south, will pay the trouble of a visit
lat this season of the year. Whatever
may be said of the cemeteries in the
lake shore towns between Milwaukee
and Chicago, the one belonging to this
4city will probably bear comparison
s with any of them. The walks and
avenues were rather late in being put
lin condition this season, but are now
properly cared for. The artistic shap-
ling of the evergreen trees, the grass
4 plots closely shaven, have an inviting
appearance. There are large number
zof monuments of handsome design,
and by no means few which are cost
3 ly, ranging from the cheaper kind up
to $1,000. A liberal expenditure, to
2perpetuate the memory of departed
friends, is deserving of praise. The
bringing of fresh flowers often. to deck
the graves of loved ones, is a touching
tribute of undying affection. Few
things are so calculated to excite
superstitious dread as a forlorn and
dilapidated cemetery. No wonder that
children and nervous persons dislike
Ito be alone in an unsightly and I'm
cared-for burying place. How much
better that cemeteries should be made
Splaces of pleasant and attractive re
sort. Since all the living must at last
find resting place where the dead ART
&gathered, how fitting that the earthly
surroundings should be Invested o.
responsiveness. The thought that We
shall lie entombed where fragran
flowers shall be often strewn, an(
where friends love to linger, will de
prive the contemplation Of the gray,
of much of its terrors.

CANADA THTSTEES

We are gratified to learn that the
law in respect to the determination OF
Canada thistles is being well carried
out in several of the towns in the
county. The law, it is said, is now
enforced in some of the
|neighboring counties. 1t is not option
|al whether the law shall be obeyed
Tor not; it imposes penalty for neglect
LIT is noticeable that in some portions
|of this county considerable patches o.
Canada thistles are still seen, partic
Iularly in the vicinity of this city, which
demand imm ediate attention.
