G. MORRIS HAS ALSO ADDED TO HIS ESTABLISHMENT.
A pATENT COMPOSITE ][I.EARSE
Which is a decided improvement mon the ilearse• we have been accustomed to see. Its appearance is
elegant, and with a pair of fire belass black horses, would do no discredit to the funeral rites of the upper
classes.
By thia arrangement the. veer unseemly practice of placing the coffin either beneath the mourners or
underneath the hatumercloth of the coachman, is entirely dispensed With.
As this improved Ilea becomes more stensively known, it canot fail to be widely approved and
adopted.
