APIA PUBLIC CEMETERY.
TO THE EDITOU OK Till; SAMOA TIMES. “ The dead forgotten lie,” Sill,—Tile a hove ({notation was forcibly recalled to oar minds the other day as we visited the heart-sickening, heeaa.se sadly neglected Necropolis of this port. There is no plan in laying out the ground as there seems to he no arrangement in the burying of the dead. The place is overgrown with weeds and creepers: we stumbled over fallen trees, broken bottles, elevations and .subsidences. There are a few, very few. carefully tended graves, but these ate the exceptions; we speak of the place as a whole, ; and would appeal to “The living who i know that they must die," and may di>' , any ih;i nl Apia, to give a little .mention jto this sacred spot.—l am, Are., A Visitor. j Apia, June, 18*1.
