We learn that very large concourse of peo-
pie assembled to pay the last rites to the remains
Of Hon. IRA KIDDER, whose death was briefly
announced in last weeks paper. Judge K. was
beloved and respected by all classes, and the

his memory.
Upon no one, perhaps, will this affection fall
10 heavily as upon the brother of the deceased,
Col. j. P. KIDDER, who alone of the family was
present during his sickness and at the funeral,

thing in his power was done to prolong the life
to relieve the pain, and to honor the memory of
one 10 whom he was so much indebted and who
can never be forgotten.
An interesting and instructive discourse was
preached by Rev A. II. MARTIN, pastor of the
Christian Church in West Randolph, and
young man of much promise, from Hosea, XII
