out yesterday with thirty-two rank and file, the
occasion being the burial Of VIM. II. Robinson, a
member Of the corps, who died last Saturday. The
funeral cortege was very large, and at the burial
ground the usual military salute was fired over his
coffin. He was buried In the uniform Of the Rifles,
who all sincerely felt the melancholy which the
dirge played by the band tended to increase. The
soft slow notes stole through the streets and into
the alleys and lanes of our city, wildly reminding
all who heard them of the passing away Of one
more to his long home.
