In this order the Procession moved
through the principle streets Of the town
TO the Presbyterian Church, where, after
the immense concourse had been seated,
Eat least those who were able to gain adj
mission in the Church, quite as many be-
ing prevented,) the services were COM
menced by beautiful hymn, executed in
manner that elected the admiration Of
all, by the Choir, under the direction of
Mr.. Smith. An eloquent and appropriate
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Tying. The
Grafton on the life and public services Of
the distinguished deceased, was then pro-
nounced by Samuel J. c. Moore Esq, of
this town. 1t was brief and concise
history of the eminent virtues of the de-
ceased, and the services which he had
rendered TO his country both IN the field
and the councils of the nation. The adj
dress throughout was most happily con-
ceive.l, and eloquently and appropriately
expressed. Whilst it done full justice TO
the political opinions of those who coin
cided with the late Chief Executive of the
nation, no cause of offence was given to
the opponents of his public policy and his
general administration. AS we well know,
the address of Mr.. Moore was the result
of only few days preparation, and we
humbIy conceive, reflected great credit
upon young, though highly promising
and talented citizens Of our own village.
The ceremonies at the Church were
concluded by National Ode b. the Choir
executed in the best possible manner, and a
Benedicion by the Rev. w. B. Dutton.
The Procession again formed in line,
and moved TO the Court House, where ii
was dismissed, all highly gratiied with the
proceedings Of the day.-Spirit Of Jcf
