CLEARING UP OLD CEMETERY GROUNDS.
 The work of restoring the old East street cemetery is progressing very sat- isfactoriIy. Three ditches have been dug and tile laid across it from south to north, and another along the north side carries the drainage off to the east. This has been accomplished without at all disturbing the graves. All the grave stones, 12l in number, have been raised and reset as securely as possible. To do this large holes were dug and filled with small stone and grout. In doing this p barrels of cement and about 70 of sand were used. A substantial frost proof stone wall will enclose the ceme- tery on the north, west and south, and the old sod will be removed and the ground newly seeded. The money for doing this was given by the descendants, now scattered far and wide, of the peo- pie buried here. About 5000 was con- Cributed. Great credit is due the con- mittee having it in charge, for their la borious and persevering efforts in look ing up these descendants, and in push ing forward the good work. Some time ago Prof Asaph Hall of Washington, D. C., gave $600 for permanent fund, for the care of the cemetery in the fu' ture,

AN OLD ARITHM ETC.

The correspondent of THE NFWTOWN BEE while looking over some old books that had been handed down five and six generations in the Burgess family, found an old arithmetic by Nicholas Pike, A. M., member of the American academy of arts and science, printed by J. T. Buck ingham for Thomas & Andrews book store, No 54 Newbury street, Boston, Mass, October 1S04. And from this book 1 will append a few items which may be interesting to the readers of THE BEE at the present time to show that our forefather's and statesmen of 100 years ago were willing to adopt a sound basis on gold and silver in Congress of the several denomina tions that they had to deal in at that time; which 1 will copy from the book as follows
 Congress has made foreign gold and silver coins q legal tender for the payment of all debts and demands at the several and re spective rates following, viz. The gold coins of Great Britain and Portugal, of their pres ent standard, at the rate of loo cents tor every ? grains of the actual weight thereof. Those of France and Spain, ? 2-5 grains thereof. Spanish milled dollar weighing l7 pvt. grS., equal to 100 cents and in proportion tor the parts of 6 dollar. Crowns ofFrance weighing portion for the parts Ot a crown. They have enacted that every cent shall contain POS grains of copper, and every half cent 1O4 grains; agreeable to which the following table IS calculated:
