to his memory, and consign his body to the tomb
The corpse was removed from the dwelling to the
EbeneZer Nj. Il. Church, where the funeral ser
vices of the church was performed by Rev Mr.
Chapman, the pastor, before an audience that
crowded the aisles, seats, doorways, and every
place where one could stand or sit: After the
church service, an opportunity was afforded for
those who desired TO view for the last time the face
Of their deceased friend The procession was again
formed, and proceeded to the Congressional Gem
etery, where the impressive funeral services of the
Odd Fellows were performed by Chaplain Crow
ley. and ofthe Rechabites by Chaplain McKim, and
the body was deposited in the vault.
The deceased was very highly esteemed by our
citizens generally, which may lie inferred from
the fact that, besides the line Of the two orders

ing three squares in length, followed the corpse
from the church To the cemetery. He had been a
member Of EbeneZer Station TWENTY-FIVE years.

BURSTING OF. WATER PIPE.-About eight
o'clock yesterday morning. the supply water pipe
(alueducD leading from Eighth street main to
the New Post Once building. near the corner of
Eighth and + streets was discovered to have
sprung leak and the wafer came pouring into
the basement of the new building with great
pidity. Fortunately, among the sewer traps
derneath. there was one which was not locked,
and 1t being forced open, the wafer escaped into
the sewer nearly fast il flowed into the cellar
The cutoff at the corner of T. and Eighth streets
WIS closed as soon possible, and the flow ceased
before not more than four inches depth Of water
had accumulated in the cellars This morning
workmen are engaged in repairing the damage.
This breakage. u may he proper to state did not
occur IN the aqueduct main, but on the connecting
Pire leading TO the General Post Office Building,
Do NOT FoRG EFT the Fair now open at the As
sembly Rooms, Louisiana avenue, for the benefit
If St Joseph's Male Orphan Asylum. The rich
display of fancy articles, the tempting array of
gOodly cdibles both the choicest CONNECTIONS and
the more solid attraction of a substantial supper.
and. more than all. the beaming faces Of the fair
ladies who have undertaken the good work rem
der the entertainment really inviting. But, apart
from these considerations the fact that the pro-
ceeds are to be appropriated to the support of an
institution which, while il shelters and educates a
large number Of friendless children subsists only
on the benevolence Of the charitable, commends Il
to the patronage of the discerning public.
THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE says that the fes-
tivities Of the glorious I'D in that city are to be
closed with grand concert by the fine choir of
Wesley Chapel, Washington for the benefit Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. Latham has
chartered i train Of cars and has his coaches all
IN readiness, to convey the Washingtonians home
about eleven o clock the same night--and the dOu-
BILE advantage will be that all who prefer spending
the evening in Washington. can. by the same line,
return home to Alexandra before midnight.
The Union CLUB give their first grand ball. to
night, at odd Fellows Hall, Navy Yard. All we
have to say about it is. that the Navy Yard ward
boasts many good fellows and as many pretty
girls any other ward in the city; and we don't
see anything tn prevent the Union Club and their
friends from having the finest kind Of time. See
advertisement.
RUN OFF.-The train of cars from Baltimore
due here at six o'clock yesterday morning. was
detained an hour beyond the time by the locono-
tive running off the track, near the White Oak
Bottom. There was no damage of consequence to
the train, but the connection with the South
failed.
