FUNERAL OF ANDREw JACKSON DAVIS.
The spontaneous feeling with which a vast
multitude of the citizens of Saint Louis pour
ed forth to render the solemn rights Of sepul-
ture to their lamented fellow citizen, Andrew
]. Davis, on Tuesday last, betokens wildly
the high esteem in which his spotless charac.
ter was held, and linked with the narrowing
events Of his untimely end. gives appropriate
show of re~verential penitence for violated
laws. This large and willing demunstra-
ton will be deeply grateful TO his relatives
and friends present and absent, who endure
the pang of grief for the companion Of whom
they are bereft. The crowd collected a.
round the Hotel from which his remains were
moved was numerous beyond precedent, and
here we must not omit a word of heartfelt
thanks for the tender care bestowed upon
our friend bv those who ministered TO him

decease, under the delicate nursing of the
Sisters of Charity.

the general population rushed forth to make
the demonstration of feeling universal and
complete.
The lookers-on marked with curious pleas

forth its representatives. the most impos

les, embracing every trade, who marched
with measured step and calm decorum, de
-monstrating by their manner and demeanor
the worthy place they occu'y in society. and
the sincerity of their feelings for the dead
for Davis was their friend, faithful and true TO
them. and they too were friends t. him.
How touching was the uncerelnonious tribute
Df the Boa,men. from the vessels on the river.
These stout and STERLING men, with sleeves
rolled up, and dressed in PLAIN garb. showed
that their sensibiIity was in their hearts, and
