The mortal remains of Hon. John Davis of
Worcester, were committed to the tomb, on
Saturday. The funeral ceremonies, which
were of the most simple and transformations
character were performed at the church of the
Second Parish, at which place Mr.. Davis has
for many years been a worshipper, by Rev.
Alonzo Hill, the pastor.
In consequence Of the unfortunate state of
the weather the attendance was less nu-
merous than it would have been, but the old
er residents of the city were mostly present,
and many of the intimate friends and
relatives of the deceased from other towns
The City Government of Worcester attended
in body The Governor, and Lieut.. Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth, Ex-senator
Winthrop, Hon. Abbott Lawrence, and other
distinguished gentlemen, who came up by the
special train from Boston, were also in attend
ance, and at the hour appointed for the COM
mencemens of the exercises, the church was
well filed. The body ofthe deceased, enclosed
in neat mahogany coffin, was placed upon
a table at the foot of the pulpit, but no oppor-
tunity was offered to those present to view for
the last time the venerable features with which
in life they had been SO familiar.
The exercises commenced by the reading
of the following hymn, which was afterwards
sung by the choir, to an appropriate melody,
under the lead Of Mr.. Stocking:
Hehas gone to his God; he has gone to his home;
No amid peril and error to roam;

brow the round and top of sovereignty dare
not assert.
"Fellow-citizeris of Massachusetts, our own
local history is not without encouragement. Ia
early colonial days, the law against witchcraft,
now so abhorrent to reason and conscience was
regarded as constitutional and binding, precisely
as the Fugitive Slave Bill, not less abhorrent to
reason and conscience, has been regarded
as constitutional and binding. The Supreme
Court of the Province, with able judges, whose
names are entwined with our history, enforced
this law at Salem by the execution of fourteen
persons as witches; precisely as petty magis-
trates, acting under the sanction of the Supreme
Court of the U. States, and also ofthe Supreme
Court of Massachusetts,, have enforced the Flu
gitive Act by the reduction of two human beings
to slavery. The clergy of Massachusetts, partic-
ularly near Boston, and also Harvard College,
were for the law 'Witchcraft,' shouted Cotton
Mather from the pulpit, lis the most nefandous
high treason'-'a capital crime;' even as oppo-
sition to the Fugitive Act was denounced as
treason Laughter.
But the law against witchcraft was not tri-
umphant long. The General Court of the Prov
ince first became penitent, and asked pardon of
God for all the errors of his servants and people
in the late tragedy Jurymen united in con-
demning and lamenting the deluson to which
they had yielded under thedecision of the Judges
and acknowledged that they had brought the re-
proach of wrongful bloodshed on their native
land. Sewall one of the judges, whose name
lives freshly in the liberty-loving character of
his descendant, Hon. S. E. Sewall,) and who
had presided at the trials, stood up in his place
at church before the congregation and implored
the prayers of the people, that the errors he
had committed might not be visited by the iudg-
ments of an avenging God on his country, his
family, or HIMSELF And now, in a manuscript
diary of this departed judge, may be read, on
the margin against the description of these
trials, in his own handwriting, these words of
Latin intorjection and sorrow-Te, rp, re-
Woe woe woe Sensation
" The parallel between the enforcement of
the law against witchcraft and the Fugitive Act
is not yet complete. 1t remains for our Legs-
lature, the successor of that original General
Court, to lead the penitential march Laugh
ter. In the slave cases there have been no
jurymen to recant, laughter;l and it is too
much, perhaps, to expect any magistrate who
has sanctioned the cruelty, to initiate the mag
nanimity of other days, by public. repentance
But it is not impossible that futur9 generations
may be permitted to read, in some newly ex-
humed diary or letter, by one of ;sese unhappy
functionaries, words of woe not unlike those
which were wrung from the soHl of SewaIl.

MORTALITY AT THE NORTH AND SOUTH.

The NeU York Courier states that the expe-
rience of the Life Insurance Companies of this
country has brought to light certain facts which
are not expressed or indicated by the census
returns
In reference to the North, or that portion of
the Union embraced northerly of the southern
line of Virginia and Kentucky, 1t is shown that
the mortality is considerably less than that in
dictated by the celebrated Carlisle tables From
ten years practical results it appears that the
mortality among that class of persons who in
sure their lives within the region named is less
than one per cent. viz: about "a in every
10000.
In that section comprised between the thirty
second degree of north latitude Ia few miles
south of Savannah and the southern line of
Virginia and Kentucky, the mortality among
the same class of people is l.17k per cent. or
ll71 persons out of every 10000
Looking to the extreme Southern States, or
south of latitude 32 degrees, the mortality is
nearly double that of the Northern section, the
actual number of deaths out CT 10000 las in
sured) being l86.
These calculations are entirely exclusive of
the present year, which has perhaps been more
fatal in the South than any period since $780,
This is the experience of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of the city of New York.
Their actuary reports that
i" The disparity in the ratio of the amount of
claims from death to the amount at risk in
these three sections of country, has usually
been even greater than that Of the simple NOR
tality in them. Thus, during the first six
months of the present fiscal year, from LIST
February to lst August the company has had
at risk in the first section SlS,000,OO0, while
the amount of claims in the section has been
Sos, 800, or $50 out of every $4,000 assured.
In the second section the amount at risk is
$500, 900, and the amount o. claims during
the same time has been $4,000, or 1888 out of
every $4,000 assured In tie third section

7 HEREBY make known to the public, that on the
Il 10th of May, 1854, obtained Patent from the
United States for improved saw. and an now
ready to dispose of rights furnish those with
who wish to avail themselves of this vast improve
ment. This will cut double the amount ia any
given time, with the power as that of the ordi-
merry saw. The nature of my invention is go to con-
truct the teeth of the that each tooth shall cut
its way clean through the wood, without tearing or
forcing the saw; each tooth acting mortice
chiscl, and cutting chip of tho same thick
ness that each tooth stands in advance of tho ono
next behind 1t; the cutting part of zach tooth is
actly vertical, and notwithstanding each tooth ad
vances in front of the next behind it, the blade of
the saw TO be of equal width, requiring the back of
the saw to be inclined forward the size of the open
ing between the teeth TO be increased reduced
cording to the length Of the and size of the tim
Der to be cut so that each space between the teeth
shall be capable of holding the entire chip or core
that the tooth behind it may cut off, The saw is ca
pabie of being attached to any mill.

10 A wonderful discovery has recently been
made by DR.. Curtis, of this city, in the treatment Of
Consumption Asthma, and all diseases of the lungs.
We refer to DR.. Curtis's Hygeapao, or bJb@ling
Hygean VapOr and Cherry Syrup." With this new
method, DR.. C. has restored many afflicted ones to
perfect health-as an evidence of which he has in
Vulnerable certificates. Speaking of the treatment,
a physician remarks: 1t is evident that inhaling,
constantly breathing agreeable healing vapor, the
medicinal properties must como in direct contact with
the whole of the aerial cavity of the lungs and thus
escape the many and varied changes produced upon
them whom introduced into tho stomach, and sub
jected to the process of digestion The Hygcana is
fer sale at all the Druggists throughout the country

the amount at risk is Sl,634,OOO, while the
amount of claims during the same time IS
S42,SOO, or 1882 ont Of ere1y $4,000 assured"
This increased mortality at the South has
compelled the company to advance their rates
of premium on lives insured there. The usual
rate of additional premium for persons at the
South has been heretofore one per cent This,
If is now shown, is not enough to cover the
actual risk the company will therefore advance
the premium to taco per cent. beyond the ordi-
nary rate of persons in northern ATTITUDES.
