The Washington correspondent Of the
n. Y. Signal, states that on the even
ing OF last Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Van Rens-
selaer of Albany, II son of the PATRON,
preached most interesting sermon on
The occ aston, in the First Presbyterian
Church, Of which the ladies' Of General
Harrison's family were members. Pres
ident i, Ter and his sons, the Secretary
o! War, the Secretary Of the Treasury
the Post Master General and Attorney
General were present. So also were
the male relatives of the deceased now
in the city, and large assembly OF
auditors.
Many interesting incidents in the life
of General Harrison, Illustrative of his
private and public virtues, were recount
ed; and tho narrative Of the last hours
and closing scenes Of his career melted
all hearts, aud drew tears Of sympathy
and regret.
Beside other things, il was mentioned
that The General had enjoyed the ad-
vantages Of religious education from
a most pious mother. During his recent
visit TO the spot Of his birth, and the old
family mansion in Virginia, he delight
cd to show his friends "his moiher's

retire for her dcvoiions, the very corner
where she used TO sit reading her Bible,
and where sheAught him in childhood
IN pray to God on his knees. The i'm.
pressions there made on his young mind
never were cffaccd and for the last
twenty years he has never retired to rest
without reading portion of the Holy
Scriptures.
