Some one has been mean enough
to enter West View cemetery and
take therefrom valuable flower be-
longing to the sexton. Mr.. DOnnely
informs us that this is not the first
occurrence of the kind, and he is Of

experimenting the guilty parties. 1t
is to be hoped that he will be success
full, for such acts are dissertations of
the most revolving kind and should
be sifted to the bottom, and the of
tenders punished to the full extent
of the law. This is not exactly rob-
bling graves, but is the next thing
