Bury the dead.
--We again call attention to the numbers of unburied dead that lie about Oakwood Cemetery.
A gentleman who visited this burial ground a day or two ago says he saw no less than forty or fifty coffins with their ghastly contents exposed to the sweltering rays of the July sun, the lids in many instances being forced off by the swollen emitting a most offensive effluvia.
