Among the Tombs.

To the Editor of the Hxaminer.

Sir:—The Bible Christian ground near Vernon River Bridge is not a large one. It is neat and trim and exhibits many marble head stones. Jas. L. Hayden Esq., has a private family vault which isa credit to the man and the spot. The Rev. Mr. Metheral preached here for many years. He was an estimable christian, a good neigh- bor, and kind friend. He removed te West Cape some time ago where he died. But for the occupants of the tombs.

The old folks ia Pownal are not numerous, The church is neat and the burying-ground well laid off and tastefully cared for. Pownal, nestling under the brow of Gay’s Hill, is one of our model villages for architectural style. We move along.

Iam sorry I must, at present, pass by Cherry Valley, Alexandra, Southport, Burnt Hill, and Lot 48. I mislaid my notes, but will attend to all these places in due time.

The Baptist Church at the Cross Roads, Lot 48, isa comfortable but plain, unpretentious house of worship. The burying ground is well fenced and in good order. The Rev. Dr. Knox has been Bishop here for over a quan- ter of acentury. As everybody knows the Doctor—net to his disadvantage either,—as a scholar, divine or citizen, I thnk I had bet ter relegate him to his favorite rostrum.

I had to pass by the private graves at Ver- non River.

Some old names, familiar in our early his- tory, are recorded on the tombs at Cherry Valley. James Hayden, senr., is there; Col. John Nelsop, Mr. Enman, James Morrison, James Leard, one of the earliest Loyalist set- tlers; Mr. Wisener and some others. Mr. Ferris, of Devon, England, and for many years employed in the Greenland fisheries, is laid in this sectionfof the Island. He was full of infor- mation on the subject of Greenland life, its hardships, and privations. His better half is from the Arctic regions. Yours, etc.,
