The superiority of this description of easement
for the remains of deceased friends is universal
ly acknowledged where they have been used
being air-tight, they are especially well designed
for keeping a corpse in warm weather or for an
unusual length of time, as well as in preserving
it from the eneroachments of water sc. after in
ternent. (" True it is, the body SO deposited is
nothing but dust, and it is q wise and holy law
of nature, that to dust it shall return; but still
how much more consolatory to the surviving
friends is the reflection, that this body shall be
permitted to pass again into. and form a part OF
its native element by the aid of time and natural
causes alone, instead of being immersed in wa
ter and exposed to the depredations of insects;
by which the remains are consumed before their
ordinary and natural decay; or how satisfactory
it would be to feel assured, that it remained in
the earth where it had been placed, without dis
turbance from the knife of the dissector, or any
.oher human agency ~
A HEARSE, accompanied by a careful driver,
will at all times be procurable for funeral occa-
sions.

STEAMBOATS, Is THE FERRY RopE.-We
regret to announce that the experience of the
past week has been il anything more vexatious
and trying to friend Prosser, Of the ferry, than
the proceeding week. The rope has been cut
several times, causing great trouble and con-
siderable expense to repair it again, as well as
delay to great numbsrs of persons who have
constantly desired to cross the river. On
Tuesday morning., quite early. the Col Nor
gan on her way down, came in contact with
the rope. which had not been lowered, and be-
fore it was cut, the tree on this side, to which
the rope was attached, gave way, in conse
quence Of which the Steamer, rope and ferry
boat came in contact, which undesirable con-
nection was confined until the convoy reach
ed the lower end Of the tow-head, when the
steamer got separated, and went on over the
rapids leaving the ferryboat attached to the
rope still fast to a tree on the opposite side of
Of the river.
Mr.. Prosser has displayed q good deal of
energy and perseverance, under discouraging
circumstances, to keep his ferry innning, and
We were glad to see considerable number of
volunteers out on Tuesday rendering assis-
fance in getting the boat back and the rope
repaired and replaced. This is the right
spirit. The ferry is an important institution.
we nope there will be no further difficulty with
the boats; but suppose that it NAV be expec.
ted, and particularly in the night. unless. in
1eed, force ison hand to sink the rope prompt
", or unless q sufficient weight can be ,ttac chsd
TO keep It sunk all night, which, owing the ra-
pld.ty et the current will probably be . diff.
