CAMBRIDGE WEST CEMETERY.

TO TIIK EDITOR. Sih, — Another fnneial haunt' Liken place at Cambridge We^, I con-ider it highly necessary to call the public attention to the e\cecdmgly di*.gi.iceful stale », f the cemetery. Jt would be useless on my part to attempt to desciibo the condition it is in, :ih woids could cum \ey no idea of its extreme wictchedness and desol.vtion. It is, indeed, to speak plainly, a di.sgrace to the distuct, and pa.iticul.uly to the county council, which is., T behevo, bound by Act of Pailiunent to piovide suitable places for thebunal of the dead. I feel, ceitam, .Sir, that if any of the members of the council weie to visit the cemetery, and especially if they weie to witness the unpleasantness and inconvenience inflicted upon the mourners at a funeuil, they would not allow anothei moment to elapse befoie they did sunn - thing to put it in order. But at the same time, L may hay that it s\ ould be idle for any of them to tin d his way tbeie without a guide, ab there is no load, and it can only be nppioachcd thiougi. almost impassable tracts of goiso T sincerely ti list that the county council will suffei no nioie tiu.e to be 10-it in this impoitant nwttei, but that they will see k\vi cemetery piopeily cleai.Ml and fenced, and a decant road made to it. Althoupfh in doing 1 so they will be doing no nioie than their duty, yet I an. confident that they will gam the giatitude and esteem ofoveiy person in tins chstuct. — I am, &f\ JioN.WKM'HU. 20th September, 1884.
