be said to hold the maxim that the end justi6es the

highest motive that actuates them and when no
higher principle is adopted very consistent course
will ever be pursued.

the Rev. MIR. Kavanaugh; funeral sermon was
preached by the Rev. MIR. Gillett and some very ap-
propriate remarks in the way of eulogy upon the vr-
tues and generous qualities Of the deceased, were
made by the Rev. Mr.. Ames. After which the fune-
raj train, under the military escort above mentioned,
together with others of the volunteer officers and pri-
Yates proceeded to the grave yard, where Grafton
was pronounced by John I. Morrison, Esq. The re-

On Wednesday a public procession of the Order
took place, numbering near 80. Seats had been
erected in the State House Square, where after the
arrival of the procession, appropriate services were
performed, consisting of hymns and odes by the ex-
ceent choir of the 2d Pres Church, prayers by the
Rev. Bros. Carnahan and Myers, and an address by
the Hon. E. A. Hannegan The weather was cloudy
and during the address gave tokens of rain, which
induced the orator to shorten his address, As far as
he proceeded however, his address was distinguished
by the usual eoquence of lis author and was marked
by very happy biblical and historical references and
illusions, tending 10 illustrate the ends which the
Order processes 10 have in view. We regret that we
have not time 10 specify several of the more important
points of the address; but the hour in which we
write is so near that of publication that it is mprac
ticable to do so. We think we are not mistaken in
saying, that the result of these public proceedings
was favorable to the proper appreciation, by the unin.

and exceedingly prosperous society. very large

to the services above alluded with pleasure and
appreciation.

supper of confectionery, &c., lent lis aid the happy
fight of several pleasant hours of social intercourse.
