A NEGLECTED GODS ACRE.

A NEGLECTED GODS ACRE.
 It is always sad sight to see the Gods acre, the burying place of the dead, neglected. For many years as the writer has passed up the valley leading to Sherman Center he has no ticed one or two monuments in field opposite the saw mill. On Saturday, in company with Hon Daniel Mallory, the editor visited the place and took down some of the inscriptions. The cemetery has been plowed up and cul- How this sad state of things came about no one knows exactly. It has always been regretted by the good people of the town, and it is probable some action may be taken by the town to at least fence in this burial plot. MT Mallory thinks there may have been 100 or 125 burials there. Now l most of the stones are broken and many lie in the brush by the side of the wall. No town, in proportion to it's population, has more thrifty or public-spirited citizens than Sherman, and it is generally agreed that it is time the sacrilage of this old burying place of the dead was stopped. In this connection THE BEE has been grati- l fled to receive a manly and public spirited letter from Hon D. Ward Northrop of Middletown, once secre- tary of state. We express the hope that the citizens of this town will carry out his excellent suggestions. It is a condition which exists in many of our towns and is a good argument against private or family burial plots. It is far better to have central cemetery MT Northrop'S excellent letter follows:
 Middletown, Conn.,, | October IT., 1905. Editor VIEWPOINT BEE,
 | Newtown, Conn.
 1 Dear Sir: A friend in Sherman has written me in regard to an old burying ground there and says you visited it recently. When was boy and liv- ed in Sherman l remember there were some stones and graves uninclOsed by any fence in a lot my father owned Whether it was public or private burying ground l ne yer knew. Near. ly 40 years ago my father sold the farm but few years ago it came back to his heirs by reason of the mortgage, and we have rented it out. Dr Wood. ruff had it number of years till this year. The graveyard piece was never plOWed, l am sure, in my fathers time. Whether it has been since ] don't know. In fact the existence o1 the old grave yard passed entirely out of my mind years ago. Now that it is called to my attention, I shall try tc neglect has not been creditabl to the community or to anyone responsible.
 If the town will fence it and keep il enclosed, I am willing to convey tothe town any right we have in the lanC and shall make the proposition to the selectmen.
 The present owners of the farm cer tainly have very small share in any blame for the neglect and the present condition. My knowledge of it wal long ago and entirely forgotten, and

WHAT DRINK WILL DO.
 A Polish man, Joe Christ, who works for Mrs Charles Keane in Hulls Farms district, went to Southport, last Saturday, and drank heavily. He returned to the Keane farm and be- gan making himself a nuisance. He was bound to enter the house, where Mrs Keane was alone, but she repulsed him, which angered the drunken man and he drew knife and was bound he would kill Mrs Keane. She armed herself with broom, and being a strong woman was able to drive him out of the room, but not until he had cut her four times in the arm and shoulder, but very fortunately the cuts were not serious. The Polish man went into another room of the house and locked himself in. Al alarm was then sent out and Sherlf Kemper of Westport responded, witt 8 force of men. The Polish man, be ing armed with an ax, threatened t' brain anyone who came near him. Th' sheriff knocked the door down ant after quite a fight he and his men sue ceeded in arresting the man and tool him to Westport, where he was locke up to await trial. A physician wa called and dressed Mrs keane's wound and she is now as comfortable as coul be expected.
