then A. b. Harrison has had erected along side a
really commanding ani neatly conNtructed dwell

ranged house in the city. We notice tht our
friend Watts is' giving II the colors," aud when
completed il will compare favor iby with any OBJ
OF painting in the city Some Of his work on

specimen OF genuine walnut. II is with leasu-e

Madison street has some Of the prettest resi-
dencss AMI building sites on il Of any in Clar&s-
willie.
The Christian Church Is situated on Madison,
bat Is far in the back ground these latter days, IN
style Of architecture. The brethren should de.
wise ways and means 10 put nice spire 10 their
sdifco of worship, which would make 1t an orua-
mont to that portion of the city. We believe it
could be done for 81 500, aud then they would
have an appropriate place to hang their new bell
instead Of putting 1t on stills, as we have heard

doubt not our liberal hearted community will aid

Metallic Burial basket.

The above engraving represents a newly inven-
ted Burial Case, fashioned 10 accord with the
feelings OF the be, eaved, and yet retaining all the
requisites of an appropriate receptacle far the
dead. There Is no reason why such recepta lie
should be made TO create, by its appearance, dis
agreeable sensations. II is enough that we should
be bereaved; and whatever tends to soften or
make less keen the poignancy Of our grief, com
mends Itself TO our consideration. So much that
is repulsive has been discarded in the arrangement
aud shape of the above Case, that its name, the
Casket Burial Case, is an involuntary suggestion.
l. therefore, do not hesitate TO aver that there has
never been in use any thing SO entirely chasie,
appropriate, and withal, convenient as this inven
ton, Besides this, the Cases being Air Tight,
contaglon is prevented, aud the process Of de-
composition is often arrested for long time -
In any case where il is desirable TO preserve the
body of a deceased friend for a considerable tims,
or to transport the tame TO dist mt place for
sspuchre, they are invaluable. 1t is a well
known fact that many Of the Railroad Compa-
mics at the West, refuse TO transport body, un-
less placed in a Metallic Case. The engraving
gives but general idea Of the outline and shape Of
the Case. Enough, however, can be gathered
from IL TO form tolerable conception of its
proportions and general Appearance. The skill
aud simplicity Of finish which Il embodiss, can
be appreciated only seen in the Case ITSELF
The Case permits view Of the entire body after
it is enclo ed the top being composed of beautiful
french plate glass, sufficiently strong TO resist
any internal or external pressure. The glass is
divided il to three sections, between two of which
is inserted the name-plate. For each of these
sections OF glass there Is an deliberately ornamen-
ted cap, QUE of which may DO seen IN its place in
the engraving. During the funeral services one
or more of these caps may be kept on, or not, as
desired, The Casket is perfectly air. tight, com
posed Of metal, and will last for ages.
