well adapted to the purpose for which it is built. The floor is level with the Avenue, (the front being entirely above ground,) affording convenient access at all times. The interior is

plastered with cement, and comprises eight

apartments, each with doors, which are entered from a light and well-ventilated passage-way. All of the apartments are fitted up with shelves, so as to render unnecessary the usual practice of heaping the coffins upon each

other.

At the time of deposit, the coffins are all numbered, and a registry made of them, with the view to distinguish them readily when finally removed, and thus prevent their being previously disturbed. ments pertaining to interments, care is taken to avoid everything that might be unpleasant to the feelings of relatives and friends, and to consult, as far as practicable, their peculiar wishes and views. No charge is is made for the use of the tomb, except one dollar each time it is opened. In cases of removal from

the Cemetery, however, a charge will be made of ten dollars each for adults, and five dollars for children.

RECEIVING TOMBS are also provided as follows:

One at the Carmine Street Cemetery, near Varick Street.

One in the Baptist Church in Sixteenth Street, near Eighth Avenue.

One in the grounds of St. Mark's Church, Stuyvesant Street, near Second Avenue.

A charge of five dollars is made for each interment in these tombs, to be paid at the time of interment; when removed, however, to the Cemetery, three dollars will be repaid by the Cemetery Institution.

PUBLIC LOTS.

Single graves may be procured in Lots of three kinds.

FIRST. In Lots inclosed by a hedge, at ten dollars each for adults; and five dollars each for children under ten years of age.

SECOND. In Lots inclosed by an iron railing, at fifteen dollars each for adults, and seven dollars and fifty cents for children under ten years of age.

THIRD. In Lots inclosed by a hedge, where any number of contiguous graves, not less than two, may be had at twelve dollars and fifty cents each for adults, and one half that sum for children under ten years of age.

In all these cases the usual charge for opening the grave is included in the prices

named.

In Lots of the first and second classes no monuments can be allowed excepting slabs laid upon the graves, or thick head-stones, not exceeding nine inches in height above the graves. Neither slabs nor head-stones may be more than two feet wide for adults, and eighteen inches for children. In lots of the third class, small monuments may be erected, sufficient space being provided for one monument to each plot of two graves. In all cases they must rest upon a stone foundation at least six feet deep.

Graves purchased in any of the public lots, may be used for other interments, (provided that no coffin be less than four feet under the surface,) by paying the usual cost of opening graves, as hereafter mentioned. If Lots should afterwards be purchased, the full cost of the grave vacated will be allowed, after deducting the expenses for originally opening the ground, and for the disinterment of the remains. Tickets, admitting a family, on foot, at all proper times, are given to all who purchase graves.

TOMBS.

Permanent interments may be procured in Tombs erected for the purpose, at fifteen dollars each. For children under twelve years of age, seven dollars and fifty cents; under two years, five dollars.
