  The New Cemetery ---
A few days ago we paid a visit to the New Cemetery, and were surprised at the improvements made.  Under the careful supervision of Col. JORDAN, the grounds are fast assuming a beautiful appearance.  The WELLS’ family circle is nearly completed, and is very neat; walks are being cut between all the lots, and the walks fixed so that they will be permanent; on the ornamental square, flowers are being planted; and everything being done to make it a pleasant place to visit.  Should the same care and diligence be pursued for a short time that is now being exercised the New Cemetery of Fairfield will be the handsomest in the State.  It is already a credit to the gentlemen who have charge and control of it; but to Col. JORDAN is due the most credit for its ornadment.
