The recent act of vandalism, which
was committed in the Aberdeen cemetery
bv some miscrcants who defaced the
lettering on n handsome monument,
recently erected by Mr.. George X. Nc
Cav, of Baltimore, deserves adequate
punishment. Destroying the property of
the living is bad enough, but the desc
Grafton of the graves of the dead cannot
be too strongly punished. An act similar
to this, occurred in Western Maryland
some years ago and the guilty parties
are still in the House of Correction, where
they have number of years yet to serve
of the heavy sentence imposed upon then
bv the Court. 1t is to be hoped that the
proper authorities will promptly ferret
out the guilty parties.
