A Gross Outrage at a Funeral

Aeouespondeut Of tie Mafysyile Tribune wri-
ting from Milford Centre gives the following nc
count ola gross outrage committed IN that vii.
hge by a set Of iguOrauI Catholics. He says:
The feelings Of this community were very much
shocked by an outage, without parallel in the
history Of this peaceful community perpeirated on
"a funeral occasion, at the house Of John Conner,
whose wife lay dead in the house The facts Of
the case are these: Mr.. Connor had invited a
Protestant clergyman to perform the burial ser
vices oftho deceased, which gave oaense to the
Catholic friends of the deceased, and they came
in considerable numbers, lead on by one Patrick
Couley, determined that the funeral rites should
not be performed. Reason and argument were
res0rted TO blythe peaeeable citizens, and by tht
husband of the deceased without avail, they being
determined to break up the meeting.
COnley, suppOsing the services abOuttO common
ce, boldly entered the room where the deceased
wife was lying and forbid anything being said OF
the occasion, when an alteration ensued between
Mr.. Conner and Conley. Conner ordering Con
ley out Of bis house, COnley refusing to go. whel
a general row ensued which battles all description
Some siding with Conner, and others with Con
Iey-some endeayoring to put Conley out of III,
house, and Others trying to prevent it, whilst tn
cries and screams of the children of the deceased
were tIuly heart rending. The spectators wer,
astonished, bewilJered aud aud amazed. Conley
at last wen: away, and quiet being restored, The
services were performed. Such a scene we hope
never TO see again, and such things should be
condemned by every lover Of quiet and good
order.
