The funeral ceremonies in honor Of Gen. HARRISON
have been very general in the large towns and cities
from which we have had accounts. In New-York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Albany and Boston, business
was suspended, professions were formed, the church.
and other public places arrayed in mourning, bells
toed, flags in the harbor and on the public buildings
suspended at half mast, and other demonstrations of
mourning. Addresses pertinent to the occasion were
delivered, not only in the churches on the Sabbath,
hut by appointment Of large bodies of people. Nor
have these demonstrations Of grief been confined to
Que party-all alike seem to have been affected BY
the loss ofthe Chief Magistrate of the Nation. With
one or two exceptions, every paper that have
ceived snce the melancholy event has been clad in
the habiments Of mourning, and many Of them filed

corporations Of Cities and indeed all classes of per-
sons have upon hearing of the death Of the President

Of her two Representatives on the first Monday of the
month-both whigs-Eden Riggs and Lewis Dowd.
Cornwall the second trial, on Monday last,

ture from this county stand thus: Wings 22-Locos
6. Salisbury, Plymouth. Washington, Winchester,
and Woodbury., entitled to nine, have this year chosen
none. The wings have larger majority than they
have before had for great many years.
Snoso Storm in APri.-On Monday last we were
visited by storm of snow which would not have
done discredt even to January. 1t commenced
about II o'clock A. M and continued twenty hours;

than six or eight inches Of snow fell-the mercury
during the whole time below 80 degrees. 49,
