Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE, May 6.-The Trustees
Of the Common will hold their regular
monthly meeting this evening 1t is to
be hoped that the subject of establishing
a frst-class burying ground or cemetery
on one Of the farms, which was advanced
by President Black at a meeting some
time ago, will be again taken up and
some action toward the founding of the
same taken If there is anything New
Castle is deficient in it is a suitable place
to bury the dead Every church yard is
crowded and none Of them are kept in
the condition that a public cemetery
would be. The city owns thousands Of
acres Of land, and yet cannot lay out q
lot containing twenty fve acres for a
public burying ground.
The Choral Society held another big
rehearsal in the X of p. Hall last even
ing, and the entire program, which will
be presented at the coming concert, was
sung. The basses were more numerous
than on any previous occasion and with
few more such rehe rsals, the society
will be in excellent trim. Six new
members were admitted last evening,
but no more will be taken in until after
the concert Conductor Hermann has
selected and arranged an excellent pro-
gram.
