=======================================

The Governor has been pleased to issue Letters Patent, under the Broad Seal of this Island, to the Revd. W. C. McCalla, appointing him Trustee of the Escheatable Estate of the late Alexander Richard Kemble, in the room of Moses Bravo, Esq.

It is expected that the Governor will visit May Penn Cemetery on Monday next the 5th inst.

==================================

Yesterday a burial took place at the new Cemetery, in the Roman Catholic allotment. This was the first interment since the Cemetery was declared open.

GOD'S ACRE

In the new May Penn Cemetery, opened yesterday, Kingston possesses a public burial ground of which the richest and most populous cities of the world might fairly be proud. At present, much as to be done towards transforming a late wilderness of thick bus and rank grass into a fit resting place for the dead, but the work goes on apace and is likely to be finished within the month. Unfortunately, the Governor found it beyond his power to prolong the period of preparation, and the gates were therefore opened yesterday, although the rules and regulations have not been published for the information of persons to whom the denominational graveyards in various parts of the city are peremptorily closed. But there can be no question as to the wisdom of extramural interments, and once in proper condition, May Penn will prove a blessing to Kingston. It has been objected that the Cemetery is a long distance from the city, and that funerals from the East end will be exposed to inconveniences on that score. The objection does not seem material, for it would apply with equal force were the Cemetery place Northward or the city or Eastward by Rock Fort. In England and America the Cemeteries often lie at a distance of eight or ten miles from the towns and cities they serve, and access to them is then gained only by rail and water passage.

Everyone who has seen May Penn Cemetery must admit that in beauty of situation it is not inferior to Greenwood, the famous American city of the dead by the seaside, nor to Kensal Green, the equally celebrated city of the dead, near London. From the Spanish Town Road, which skirts its Northern wall for a quarter of a mile, it extends over hill and dale, but with a very gradual slope, to the harbour, whose waters wash its Southern limit. Standing on the broad table land near the main North entrance, one has in full view the Harbour, and the sea beyond the Palisadoes; Port Royal and the Healthshire Hills; the mountains that encompass Kingston, and the St. Catherine Hills on the extreme left. Human nature is such that most of us like to think of our bodies lying after death amidst quiet and beautiful surroundings, and there are few of us whom the breezy uplands of May Penn, shut in by blue mountains and the silver sea, would not satisfy. And so long as the hot tears of grief fall on the cold face of death, so long we shall desire to lay our departed friends in places whose very aspect recalls the bright hope of Immortality.

The Custos has a commendable anxiety to avail himself of all the opportunities that Nature has lavished, and he hopes to make the place, in his own words, "a second Greenwood". The Clerk's Lodge and the Receiving House close to the main entrance are, according to plan, slightly but simple structures. Between the Receiving House and the gates, a circular plot of grass with flower beds is being made, and from this point the roads and paths branch off in every direction. Whilst cutting down the brushwood, Mr. Parry has been careful to preserve all healthy young shade trees, and if these are carefully tended, it may not be necessary to plant many more. The Cemetery is destined to become a favourite resort in the cool of the day, more especially when the car lines run thither.

As we have stated, the grounds have but just been delivered up for public uses, but they have inmates already. Near the centre of the Cemetery on a knoll, are a few large and irregular mounds. These mark the deep trenches into which were put the victims of the late Cholera, which scourged the Island so terribly in 1850. Adjoining the mounds are trenches which were not used, but which have lain unfilled since that day. We think that above all things the Superintendent of the Cemetery should first see to the proper condition of these neglected graves, and take care that they are not trampled upon by visitors to the Cemetery, who may not know of what these mounds are the mementos.

August 9, 1880

EAST INDIAN MANGOES

We have to thank the Director of Public Gardens and Plantations for his courtesy in sending us specimens of the East Indian Mango fruit, believed to be the first of the kind that have ripened in Jamaica.

The fruit was produced by two trees growing at the Hope Plantation which were taken from trees at the Castleton Gardens by inarching five years ago. The Castleton trees were introduced, in the first instance, from Bombay, and although much older than the Hope Trees have never borne fruit. "It is evident from this" says the Director, "that the Hope District is very favorable to the growth of Mangoes, and with such luscious and acceptable fruit as the present, their cultivation in the neighbourhood of Kingston will, no doubt, soon become an important industry."

The new Mangoes -- new, at least, to Jamaica -- are in bulk and shape very similar to the "yam" mango, and have a pleasant flavour of their own. Superior to many varieties of Jamaica mango, they do not, however, in any way approach our Number Eleven - the mango par excellence. But they have a rosy, comely exterior, the rind is exceedingly thick, and the edible part is firm, but not stringy. We incline to the belief that the New Mangoes will keep a long time and as they are sweet and attractive in appearance, they are admirably adapted for shipment to the American market. Already such Jamaican Mangoes as have survived the perils of the sea passage have found a ready sale in New York, at the fruiterers and along the sidewalk, yet hitherto the delicate mango has been a risky fruit to ship. A but the ruddy, sturdy stranger bids fair to bear without injury the trip of six or seven days, and as sweet fruits are peculiarly acceptable to the American palate, this variety has before it the promise of being soon in as great demand as the banana. We hope therefore, to find its cultivation extended in the Island, with a view to profitable export. Mr. Morris has done well to call attention to what may prove a highly valuable addition to our list of fruits.

In this connection, it is interesting to note that the mango when introduced into this island a hundred years ago, as part of a botanical collection captured by Lord Rodney from a French ship bound to St. Domingo from Bourbon, was grown in gardens established by the House of Assembly under Dr. Dancer.

======================================

LAST NIGHT'S HURRICANE

The weather experienced in Kingston last night was such as had not visited the city for along time, and against which few precaution had been taken on account of the supposed immunity from great meteorological disturbance. The gale was predicted by Mr. Maxwell Hall, but its advent was not expected in so violent and disastrous a manner.

From 3 p. m. yesterday rain fell heavily, the wind rising gradually. About 8 p. m., the storm began to do damage, and it increased in force until about half-past 11, from which time it lulled. It is impossible, at present, to give a full account of the havoc wrought, but a hasty survey this morning revealed a most disheartening sight of desolation. The Park has suffered terribly -- fine trees being blown down in every part. Along the northside, the pailings have given way under weight of broken tree trunks and limbs. The windows and west front of Coke Chapel have suffered, and the Chapel in Church Street, just above the Parade, has lost a large section of its roof. All the upper thoroughfare exhibit the effects of the storm, in uprooted trees, levelled fences, broken shutters, etc. In King St., a stable gave way crushing a buggy to chips. The Roman Catholic School, in Sutton Street, has been seriously wrecked. Down town, the solid construction of stores and offices has generally baffled the violence of the wind, but zinc roofs, signs on the street, and all poorly built houses tell a tale of destruction.

As might be expected the harbour is a sad spectacle. Every wharf is ruined and is a mass of wreck, from Soutar's wharf to the Railway. The "Atlas" wharf was saved to some extent by the barrels of flour on it. The drogher "Empress" was driven on shore and smashed up completely, at the Market Wharf. The drogher "Ann" next it, is in little better condition. The Brigt. "Corona" with fish from Halifax sunk when the storm was fiercest and only her masts show above water by the Royal Mails' Co.'s Wharf. The S. S. "American" was grounded, and stands in very few feet of water. The Market Pier has lost its flooring and its huge paving stones have been thrown right and left. The Royal Mail Co.'s steam launch was carried high and dry on shore, and all the smaller crafts in port were so injured as to require extensive repair.

The Halfway-Tree Car lines were blocked up by fallen trees, but are now clear. The Railway lines are impassable. The school of Ebenezer Chapel has suffered seriously. As far as can be learned no life has been lost. Some anxiety is felt as to the safety of the "Alps", and "Don". The "Trent", "Manuelita", and "Tamar" sailors are sunk at Central Wharf. The "Spray" was carried up Princess Street and wrecked. The "Peter" is sunk of Schloss's Wharf. The "Dauntless" is sunk alongside the S. S. "American'. At Port Royal, H. M. S. "Phantome" and "Tyrian" lost a good deal of top gear, but the other vessels escaped without hurt worth mention. A few small boats sank, and the water tanks were washed ashore.

The Kingston Mills were damaged, and much bread destroyed in the bakery. Up Park Camp did not escape harm, and May Pen Cemetery has been swept almost bare.

The Schooner, "C. C. B.", has gone to pieces and we have just learned that the Mate of the "Dauntless" was drowned.
