HE FUNERAL OF CORPORAL RANDALL
MANN.-The funeral of this brave young sol
der took place on Friday last, in Leicester, at
the Congregational church, private services
having previously been held at his late home,
the house of his uncle, Mr.. Albert Marshall,
the Rev. Messrs. Moss and Jones of Worces-
ter officiating
The glorious flag, in whose defence his life
was sacrificed covered the casein which his
remains were enclosed. The making of this
was labor of love to his comrades during
the lonely hours OF the night Immediately pre-
ceding their departure from Roanoke Island
The public services were commenced by the
Rev. DIR. Nelson, who said this young man
was not the first of the family who had laid
down his life in defence OF his county. He
remembered that in the war of 1912 an uncle
OF the deceased, Mr.. Sabin Mann OF Worccs
ter, fell MORALLY wounded at the battle of
Queenstown; but in those days there were
not facilities which permitted the return Of
his body to his friends, and his vest, perforated
by the fatal bullet, was the only relic left to
his young wife, to whom lie was married
the evening previous to leaving home to join
Gen. Van Ransellear's command.
After prayer by Dr. Nelson, and the singing
of hymn, Rev. Nh. Coolidge followed with
appropriate and well chosen remarks, abiding
to some of the circumstances connected wi II
his enlistment among the three months volun-
teers, his return from fort McHenry, and his
subsequent decision to enter the army for the
war. lie spoke of his unselish character, his
early death ON the field of battle at the post
of duty and honor.
The Rev Mr.. Moss made the closing re-
marks, and spoke OF the high motives which
induced the deceased to go forth to encounter
all the possibilities Of war. He felt that the
struggle was one for right and freedom, and
as such worthy Of his best efforts. He also
alluded TO his bravery on tile field of battle,
his noble bearing when facing the enemy-as
described by his commander, Capt. Mouton,
who repeatedly called him back, as he was
pressing forward in advance of the line. He
took this occasion to enforce tne lesson we all
need TO learn-we feel grateful to the soldier,
who lays down his life that we may dwell in
safety. What gratitude should swell our hearts
toward that blessed Savior, who died that we
might live, bringing life and Immortality to
life in the Gospel.
Prayer was off red and the services con-
cluded by singing the beautiful hymn COM
mencing,
"Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb"
The pocket Bible OF Corporal Mann, showing
the mark OF the bullet that produced his DEATH
and the head-board Of hard pine erected by
the kind hands of his comrades at his grave
on Roanoke Island, were brought home with
his remains. The church was draped in
mourning, and the flags of the town were dis
played at hall.mast, and a large number of
citizens testified by their presence at his
funeral the estimation in which he was held in
the community. L.H.B
ATTENTION is specially called to the auction
sale OF silver ware, stationery, fancy orna.
