robertson the new cemetery to lit editor of the frtc prat droa sra by request of the village council have called a meeting of our citizens for monday evening the 25th inst for the purpose of taking into eonaideration the necessity of securing suitable property for a cemetery the agitation of thit question is somewhat remote having oc cupied the attention of our citizena fer some years and the necessity for such a provision not only ttili exists bot increases as time rolls on this is so obvious to any one visiting the present buriil ground that a statement of the fact is hirdly necessary the time has surely arrived when if from saiiiury considerations only some steps should be tajen to olviate what at any time especially daring the prevalence of contigioos diseases my spread pestilence and dismay among our citizens my ob ject in writing this open letter is not to provoke hostility to the project but to eaiiit the symulhies of all good citizens who iu any way feel an interest in the mat ter and to urge upon such their presence at the aforesaid meeting to discuss fully and freely this subject the invitation to be present is extended to ill each as reside in the vicinity of acton and who may desire to bury their dead with us it is too often the case that the most desirable aims and objects of humanity are defeated by snpineness and indifference in this matter the common xood is at stake and it is to be hoped that our citizens will take hold of tie matter energetically apart from sanitary or other considerations it it due to theviliage of acton that her citizens should be provided with a respectable place of interment to say the least of it personally i do not apprehend any op position to any welldirected scheme to se cure sach a result- respect for the dead calls us to duty in this matter to protect and guard the graves of our households is aduty incumbent upon us while we live and when we die others will live to do similar duty for us and guard the peaceful city where rests our mortal remains presuming the necessity for a new ceme tery is plain there remains but one or two questions to discuss first the selection gay by a committee of citizens of a proper site and secondly shall we place it under joint stock or municipal control in either event it need be no burthen to our people as i think it can be demonstrated to be eelfsustaining trusting our citizens will evidence their interest in this matter i am tours very truly w h btosxt acton fob 13th 18w the toltonarthurs case to the edlior of the free prat due 8k in a
