tomb, which has been erected in the ancient burl-
al ground at Marshfeld. Thesa ceremony was
witnessed BY the relatives only. When the BODY
of Major Webster was INFERRED his tavorite horse
Duke now owned by young Daniel Webster
son of Fletcher-was led up to the tomb. These
ended the sad offices of Thursday.
Very early yesterday morning, the people pc
gan to approach, in long professions, the mansion
OF the dead Secretary. lnnumerabIe carriages,
heavily freighted, which had tarried for the night
in the neighboring villages, came up one after a
mother, to the avenue leading to Mr.. Websters
house. BY an admirable arrangement OF the po-
licemen-sent from Boston-the vehicles, as last
as they arrived, were stopped, unladen, and then
conducted to the pastures in the rear OF the house.

were permitted to view the body IN the hpra1y'
where it had lain in state for several Jays before.
But the crowd became great after an hour, ana

brought out into the lawn in front of the house.
Here beneath the shade of silver eaed poplar OF
his own planting; were exposed for general gaze,
the dead majesty of the country. The corpse was
alfred in blue coat, white vest, white pantaloons,
CATERS and white cIavat. 1t was Mr.. Webster IN
his 'habit as he lved.' The countenance of the
great statesman was but little altered, and those
who had seen him within the past two years, east
ly recognized the features. In order to accommo-
date ali who wished to take a farewell look, the
police arranged it, so that the people marched III

slant train was in motion, and many sad tear up
on that bier W as shed.
