up several hundred dollars, which he de-

unquestionably, led 10 his death. On Sat-

man laid himself down before his own fire,

A small negro girl, who was in the room ut

The GREAT FUNERAL.--An idea Of the
immensely of the ADAMS funeral demonstra-
ton at New York, may be judged, by the
following from the Sun:
"There could not have been less than
$4,000 people from the Battery to the Park
Ii took Just two hours and ten minutes 10
pass the corner Of Maiden Lane and Broad
way, and calculating the pace at two miles
per hour, the funeral would cover over four
miles of ground at the Park the crowd
become concentrated. and the appearance
of the hu>hed assembly, during the recital
Of the prayer for the dead, was awe-inspi-
ring."
