THE BURIAL OF JOHN BROWN.
The remains of John Brown, in charge of his
widow and number of friends, reached North
Elba late on last Wednesday afternoon The meet
ing of the mother with her son, Salmon Brown
and the other children, is described as very affect
ing. After tea the family assembled, and Mr. Nc
Kim, who accompanied Mrs. Brown to Harper's
Ferry, related to the company all the events con
nected with the execution of Brown and their Jour
ney thither He said that they had been treated
with all proper respect, and made favorable men
tion of Mr.. Garrett President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad; Col. Shut, DR.. Phelps, Capt
Linn, Col. Lee, Capt. Moore, COL Barbour and
others, who aided them materially in their mis-
sion South. At the close of the evening the lid
was raised from the coffin, and the body of Old
Brown was exhibited to all present The counte-
nance of deceased was more natural than II an
rene expression. An hour or SO was then spent in
conversation, and the household retired for the
night.
On Thursday the nterment took place in the
presence of $50 persons, and among the prominent
mOurners were Wendell Phillips and Rev Messrs
Mckm and Young. The former pronounced the
funeral oration, in which he spoke of the deceased
as hero, and lauded his bravery and magnanimi
ty. He read the following letter from Coppic one
of the condemned, to Mrs. Brown:

He also read the following, which is the last let

execution:

Wendell Phillips followed in an address delivered
in his characteristic style, and among other things
said
