lhe funeral pageant AZ warrington VltJ
was the most solemn aud impressive Of the
three which have been prepared for Presidents
who have died at the sptsl--Hsrrison, Tay-
lor Lincoln. On each occasion all the civil,
military and naval officers present united with
the citizens in paying honor to the illustrious
dead but on this occasion the vastly larger
military force present added greatly to the
mournful grandeur Of the scene. The mill
tary marched, by company, full company in
single line across the broad avenue Penn

mensely long that it occupied one hour and a
half in passing one point. The sermon was
delivered by Rev. DR., Gurley, Presbyterian,
whose church President Lincoln attended.
We observe that the Doctor fully recognized
the title Of Abraham Lincoln as the Restorer
Of Liberty to the enslaved fact which is
only remarkable because the preacher in for
mer days was not accustomed to touch that
topic in his discourses.
