Refuses to Enlarge the Churchyard.

The people of Isham. village between
Ketering and Wellingborough. in North
am ptoushire. have lately been considerably
agitated by the refusal of Mrs. Perry, a
prominent local landowner, to give the
parish any more land to add to their
churchyard or to make a cemetery. At
the present time the burial greund-which
surrounds the parish church and is at a
considerable height from the street in the
middle OF the village-is quite filled, and
at recent funerals numbers of bones and
half-rotten collins have been disinterred
to make room for fresh graves. The
reason given by the lady. who possesses
eligible ground close by, is that she refuses
on the ground that cremation is the most
satisfactory way to dispose of the dead,
and that she disapproves of burial in the
midst of the village

Sweet was the spell she cast on me.
Alas but the years have wrought me Ill,
And the heart that is old ana battered and chill
Seeketh again on Heart-Break Hill
What was, but never again can be.
