BURIAL OF CLARA 0. COCHRANE.

The body of Miss Cochrane was carried to Grafton,
Vt., last Monday, under the charge of John T. Moore,
of this place. She was born in New Boston, but re-
quested to be buried by the side of her mother at Graf-
ton, where some of her relatives reside. Her funeral
took place on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock, at the
house of Jonathan Sherwin, and was attended by a large
concourse of people. John H. Sherwin, the one to
whom she wished her property to be given, was present
at the funeral. Miss Cochrane was of excellent family,
and had a superior education, and her melancholy death
causes deep sorrow. Her father and mother died of con-
sumption, and she bad an impression that such would be
her fate.—American paper•

EDITORIAL LABOUR UNDER A SUMMER SOLSTICE...
Fellow citizens, as you sprawl on your sofa this pleasant
forenoon, or make an inverted Z of yourself, by prop-
ping your chair-back against the wall, you probably
think it must be easy to write. Did you ever plough,
hoe corn, or plant cabbages ? We have been engaged
in all these rural exercises, and have also swung the
scythe and cradle under the sun of the hot south, and
we solemnly declare that the physical labours aforesaid
are mere recreations, in comparison with the exhausting
on the road, and ooze out in
toil of writing for the press in a close office, with a south-

bourhood of the nineties. The vigorous ideas that
