1t is getting to be a common saving in
Brattleboro that a poor man can't afford
to die, because there is no place to bury
him. Within a few days a well-known
resident bought an ordinary 10 by 20 lot in
the Prospect Hill cemetery, for which he
paid S225. The original price for such lots
was only S5O. The cemetery association
has made the best use possible of its I'M
occupied land, and still has a few lots for
sale, but they are either undesirable for
location or their price is too high for the
average man of small means. There is a
good deal of discussion of this subject, es-
pecially by the men in the Estey shops
SO far as can be seen, there are lust three
ways out of the difficulty. The present
association may buy more land, if it can
be obtained, and extend the present
grounds, or new association may be
formed, buying land wherever thought de-
slrable, opening new cemetery and LAYING
1t out in lots and drives, or the selectmen
may move under the state law for pro-
Nldlng common burial place for the use
OF the town. To very many it seems that
the most desirable place for a cemetery en-
largement would be on the ROYAL Wood
fiat, if Mr.. Wood would sell strip of land
for the purpose, but il is understood that
he does not wish to do this, and it is an
open question whether this land could be
legally condemned for cemetery uses. Mr.
Wood holds that this land is desirable for
building purposes, and that it is more val
liable for this than for any other use, and
that eventually the growth of the town will
move that way. 4 great majority of the
people would prefer that an association
should provide the burial place, because in
this way more Eligible site could be Sc
cured, and more care and taste could be
exercised in fitting up the grounds. If the
town is to move in the matter the process
is very simple one, che general statutes
clearly defining the way:
when it is necessary TO enlarge public burial
ground or 10 establish a new one, three or more
treeholdeTs OF the town may apply in writing to
the selectmen, setting forth such necessity with
a description OF the land necessary for the pur-
pose, and the selectmen shall therefore proceed
as IN case of an application TO them by three or
more freeholders to lay out a highway
II person is dissatisfied with the damages
awarded TO HIM by the selectmen. he may pet ition
the county court as in of dissatisfaction with
the award of commissioners appointed by JUS
tee when highway is laid out by selectnen, and
therefore similar proceedings shall be had to
those provided IN such cases"
The only limitation placed on the action
of the selectmen is that a burial ground
shall not be laid out within - rods of any
dwelling house, and that no burial shall
take place within 20 rods of such burial
place.

While the life of the Rev James Herrick.
whose funeral took place yesterday. was So
largely spent i'm its years OF active manhood
in missionary work in India, his death re-
moves man who was in more ways than
one a yeritahle landmark of past gener-
alton. II would be interesting TO the BOYS
OF the present day. who daily flock to and
from the High school building. to know
under what circumstances the lad of 20
years ago received his education He
worked faithfully on his fathers farm I'M
til he was y years old. attending the winter
term Of school. and then. by his own
unaided etforts-which required what is
now known as genuine sand and
pluck he paid his own way through
academy, college and theological seminary.
And what would the young folk OF today
think of the size of the family in which he
was reared? His own mother died in his
bOyhOod, leaving his father with family
of six children. About that time the father
of neighbOring family had died. leaving a
family of just the same number of children.
In due time the widowed father and
widowed mother were married and the two
families joined in one, and men vet living
recall how for several winters II children
went out from under the Herrick roof to at
tend the Dummerston district school, where
they lived. The home life of the family was
delightful. There never was a jar or a clash.
or any envy or jealousy. and so long as the
home roof remained the children all came
back to it as to a yeritable home. The
progress made by the children in the
simple, practical studies then taught would
put to shame some of the more pretentious
modern methods of today. Just where all
of those II children We're slowed away TO
sleep in the old farmhouse, or what was
done with the four additional members
which came as the fruit of the second
marriage, it may not be easy now to
imagine, but there is nevertheless a sug-
sestion here of the strong. wholesome,
family life of those earlier days, which
raised up genuine men and women. and
which have now become as such almost a
thing of the past.
