Flower-stealing from graves in the Law rence Cemetery has again become common. In some instances even the vases in which flowers have been placed have also been carried off by those incredibly mean .thieves. In some eases flowers and vases have been removed on the same day they were placed on the graves. It is not impossible to imagine that hoys or girls of indifferent instincts or, perhaps, through thoughtlessness and want of proper understanding may be guilty of flower-stealing from the Cemetery. In that case there can not, of course, be any responsibility at home. But now, that publicity has been given to the matter, people should be particular to see that ftbeir young children do not go unattended to the Cemetery, and also that when they do go there accompanied by their parents restraint and supervision should be exercised over them. All this, of course, on the supposition that grown boys and girls ore incapable of watitonly insulting the feelings of people who are anxious to honor the memory of their dead relatives or friends by occasionally placing fresh floral tributes over their graves, to say nothing of the personal meanness which such a form of theft implies. Were they, however, guilty of such conduct, their proper punish ment would be a sound birching. But it is impossible to avoid the suspicion that vases cannot be stolen and conveyed home from the Cemetery by children, if they are stolen by children, without the knowledge of their parents. The introduction of such articles into the home by children must excite inquiry, and the fact that vases removed from the graves have not been returned is proof that juvenile dishonesty is connived at if not actually encouraged in some homes in Law rence. Remonstrance under such circum stances is useless ; detection and punishment it the only deterre&i or reformabive agency where people of this class are concerned. The Borough Council have communicated with the Police on the subject, and possibly that may lead to some practical result. We also understand that the trees and shrubs planted during the last two or three years on the reservoir hill have been wilfully damaged.
