DEATH OF ANTHONY BURNs.-Anthony
Burns, one of the famous names in the histo-
ry of the anti-slavery enterprise, died on the
2Tth ut., at St. GATHERINGS, C. w. He had
been i'll for some four months with consump-
tion which was thought to have been brought
on by er-eXertion and exposure last winter
and carly spring, in trying to clear from debt
the church at St. GATHERINGS, .of which he was
pastor. He succeeded, but paid for it with his
life. Rev Hiram Wilson, in a letter publish
ed in the Liberator, has the following refer
ence to his funeral =
''The concourse around his peaceful grave
were mostly colored-the adults of whom.
| like himself had fled from bondage; aud vet
| there was quite number of white people of
various churches and different nationalities.
While there consignlng his mortal remains to
the silent dust, | thought of the awful excite
nent few years ago in Boston, attendant on
his arrest, and rendition to the hands of bloody
men, who are now in open rebellion against
the government, and against God and humans
ty. | seemed to have a sort Of panoramic
| vision OF the prO-slavery reachery- the ar
| rest, the court proceedings, the mass meet
| ings, the vast array of marshalS and of the
/ iiAAt'h - anu tt NOuillltSS bllOllHS Ol people
| blocking up the streets OF Boston-his dark
and awful doom as victim of the fugitive
slave law, and the helli>h Civilizations Of the
slave power on the one hand-while iamenta-
tions spread all over the coasts OF New Eng
land and rolled back to the Rocky Noun
tains: thought OF that Ubiquitous system as
having eliminated to the awful crisis now
hanging over the American people. The
name Of Anthony Burns fills an important
place in the history OF events which led to the
great conflict now pending between the mar
shalled hosts OF freedom and the tiendish
friends and minions Of slavery, and will be
pronounced with honor when the fetter shall
have fallen from the limbs Of millions of his
suffering brethren. Brother Burns was much
respected in this quarter. Since he left ODER
lin and came over into Canada, he has made
| good impressions where he lectured in various
| places"
