 The Village Hill cemetery has been incorporated with the Wilmington Center cemetery. The late gift of $1OO by Julius P. Maine is for the benefit of this interesting Gods Acre that for many years was not cared for. the white headstones being almost among the encroaohing trees of the woodland. Many improvements have been made here through the thought fitness of MT. Maine who does not expect to rest there himself, but has provided for perpetual care out of respect to his ancestors. Besides building a concrete front wall he has given in trust to the incorporation $500, the interest to be used in yearly care. Now comes the additional $lOO and promise of more at some future time. Mrs. Julia Royce Webber, late of Monson, has given $2OO for the same purpose and also a $500 legacy has been received from Dr. M. Fisk. This subject of the Gene tery association will be taken up again next week and sketch given also of Julius P. Maine, who is a very in- teresting character.
