L.); Caldwell (J.B.); Readell.

    Of the noble exertions of these men the Mayor says: ‘In adverting to this calamity I should commit an act of injustice were I to omit to notice the humane and magnanimous exertions of those medical gentlemen residing in or near the vicinity of the infected district, and those who extended their assistance when the disease had attained its greatest extent and malignity; some time previous to which period, the more wealthy of our citizens and their families from within the district had removed, and very few remained except those who, by their deprivation of their means of support or from extreme indigence were able to afford but little prospect to the physician of pecuniary renumeration, equal to that which he might actually be called upon to expend from his own means on this account. They still perservered and attended indiscriminately all, the rich and poor, suffering no consideration to deter them from the indulgence of their philanthropic feelings. As the cases multiplied the calls upon them increased, and their natural rest was destroyed and their anxieties strained to such a pitch that their own lives appeared likely to become a sacrifice to their disinterested zeal.’ (Mayor Johnson’s Rep. In Doc. of this Ep., pp. 179-80).”

    DESECRATION OF A GRAVE-YARD

    The Baltimore papres report the arrest of a man named Harry Wilhelm in the city charged with committing depredations upon the graves in the old grave-yeard of the Second Presbyterian Church, near the head of Broadway, known as the old Glendy burial-ground in Baltimore. The grave-yard is a very old one, and is overgrown with weeds, underbrush, &c. Nearly all the vaults, where repose the remains of the dead of many well-known family,es have been broken into. Wilhelm was arrested as he was coming out of the cemetery. He is said to be respectably connected, and is well known to the Police from his frequent application to the station-houses for lodgings. The account he gives of himself is that he was without a home or place of shelter, and that he went into the small one-story house over the general vault to sleep for the night. The appearance of the rrom, which was formerly a store room for shovels and other implements used in cemeteries, indicated that such was probably the fact. The police found the bottom of an old walnut coffin placed upon an old stretcher with a dilapidated pillow at one end, showing where the houseless man was probably often accustomed to sleep; and perhaps many other “tramps” had found a refuge in the same dismal locality. Fragments of food, fruits and cloting were scattered about this dreary place. Among the family vaults reported to have been tampered with are those of Alexander Gregg, Patrick Dinsmore, Adam Budy Kyle, John H. Kane, and Dr. Alexander Clendinen. Quite a number of single graves appear to have been opened, among them those of John H. Boyd, James C. Boyle, Joseph McKean, Thomas and Elizabeth McElderry, John Hudson, Marian Davis, & c. Col. George P. Kane offered $100 reward for the arrest and conviction of the parties who broke open and mutilated the contents of the burial vault of his family.
