this occasion, and the most exteusiv,
preparations we're made by all classes
Of our citizens to do honor to the wcrtl

the remains to the last sileut resting
place.

Long before the hour fixed for the

was literally throngcd BY men, women
and children, almost blocking up the

also appropriated to the use of specta.

would accommodate an auditor was APP
propf lated. At IL o'clock the body
was borne from the residence of the af-
ficted family, attended by the M-souic
fraternity and the mourning friends, to
the Unitarian church, which was already
filed 70 overlooking by those who had
sought an early opportunity to get a
seat therein. Not mere than one-tenth
part OF the vast assembIage were able to
gain admission to the church. The flu
neral services. conducted by the Rev.
DIR. Cutler, and Revs. Messrs Lacy and

character. The church was profusely
hung with enlblcms of deep Mourning.
