PARK AND CEMETERY.

ble shall be erected within the bounds of the Cem- 
etery. 
The rules and regulations concerning visitors 
are as follows: — 
I. No vehicle shall be admitted on Sundays un- 
less accompanied by a proprietor of a lot or a mem- 
ber of his or her household with his or her ticket, 
II. No horse or other animal shall be allowed 
in any part of the cemetery, except upon the ave- 
nues; or to be driven or ridden at a rate faster than 
a walk; or left without a keeper, unless fastened to 
the places provided for the purpose. 
III. All persons with fire arms or any article 
on sale are prohibited from entering the cemetery, 
and no refreshments, or party carrying refreshments 
will be admitted. 
IV. All persons are prohibited from writing up- 
on or otherwise defacing any monument, fence, sign 
or other structure within or be- 
longing to the Cemetery. 
V. All persons are prohib- 
ited from gathering any flowers, 
either wild or cultivated, or from 
breaking or otherwise injuring 
any tree, shrub, or plant, or 
from annoying birds, squirrels 
or other harmless animals with- 
in the cemetery. 
VI. Dogs will not be admit- 
ted into the cemetery. 
VII. Visitors must walk on 
the avenues and paths, and will 
not be allowed on any other por- 
tion of the grounds. 
VIII. All noisy and disor- 
derly persons will be expelled 
from the cemetery. 
IX. No person in the em- 
ploy of the Trustees is allowed 
to receive any gratuity for services rendered to 
visitors. 
X. The Superintendent is authorized to cause 
the arrest and prosecution of all persons violating 
these regulations. 
Thus it will be seen that there is an even grade- 
of keeping things uniform, wholesome and really 
receptive in character. The stone yard, the perish- 
able, stark, often ghastly marble is tabooed and an 
art garden of surpassing dignity and beauty is re- 
vealed in these silent undulating thirty acres. 
The illustrations quite clearly comprehend the 
ideas of the landscape engineering and disclose the 
well kept, broad avenues and paths, an agreeable 
sylvan aspect of foliage and to the eye of the true 
gardener a sense of refinement quite befitting a 
modern cemetery and eminently worthy of emulation. 
I have chosen four views in the cemetery which 
evidence the varied aspects of environment and 
memorials. The classic Blake monument offers an 
example wfith its guardian obelisks and Appine urn 
and contrasts agreeably with the tablet of copper, 
which seems so solidly fixed to the everlasting rock. 
Interesting also is the simplicity of the receiving 
vault over run with English ivy and nothing could 
be more beautiful than the sylvan avenue, the nat- 
ural condition and quiet restfulness of the scene 
impresses one with a fine feeling for semi-rural 
beauty, graceful lines and forms, and light and 
shade. 
Relative to the sale of lots it is stipulated that 
the price shall be for any and every foot twenty-five 
cents and this price includes perpetual care, a port- 
ion of the amount received being set aside, the in- 
terest of which is now nearly sufficient for the pur- 
pose. It will readily be seen that in timv, say fif- 
teen years, an enormous fund will accumulate which 
will naturally, if it were desired, put a premium on 
the sale of lots, but I imagine the original rules 
will ever be kept intact and that the town will vast- 
ly benefit from its wise investment. 
At the Town Hall Clerk Mr. Baker shows a su- 
perb system of keeping record of lots, interments, 
etc. He has constructed a book which is ruled by 
squares, each page shows the size of lot, locality 
and number of interments and character of adorn- 
ment. These squares are scaled to represent one 
foot, so that if A owns a lot where used and two 
squares of one foot each are left on the border front 
of the lot, a restriction observed invariably. Thus 
Mr. Baker holds a complete map, or record as it 
were of the inhabitants who slumber in this “Couch
