CLEvELAND-7A 7A.M.
As we pass the lake side of the city, y,thous.
ands of persons are gathered on the sloping
green hillsides, all having q good view Of
the train. High up we see an arch, with
the inscription, "Abrshem Lincoln" tits
drsped in mourning, and the supports are
covered with alternate stripes of black and
white. Immediately under the arch is 8
lady, dressed in horizontal bars of the ns-
tionsl colors, TO represent the Genius of
Liberty. She holds in her hand flag, and
this, together with her cap, is bandaged
with mourning. 1t is beautiful and exa.
pressive figure.
All places of business are closed. Colcrs
are displayed at half mast. A national
salute of sc guns is fred, and half.hour

The procession embraced all conditions of
the people, without distinction of party or
religion, and it presented decidedly fine
app 'srsnce, as it moved through the streets
Of this truly beautiful city from Euclid
street to Erie, down Erie to Superior and
thence to ths Park.
The sidewalks were dehsely crowded
with mournful persons, while thousands
of spectators Beheld the cortege from the
steps and windows of the beautiful resi-
dences which line the entire route. En-
blems Of mourning were every where prom
inent, together with expressive notices.
Every stranger is loud in his expressions
Of admiration Of the splendid order of the
arrangements.
Then follows description of the ostAfal-
que and building containing it, copied from
The LEADER of Friday morning. The dis
patch continues:
The religious services, after the remains
had been placed upon the dsis, were per-
formed by Right Reverend Bishop Nell
vAine, who, in the course of his prayer,
asked the blessing of heaven on the imme-
diate family of the deceased, and e sancti-
fcstion of the events which had called the
had succeeded TO the Chief MsgistAcy. He
lueu f6hQ part Ol bL6 Iul6rhl service OF
the Episcopal Church, slightly altering
their text to suit the occasion. These SER
vices were intensely solemn, and moved
many of the listeners to tears.
The remains we're then exposed to pub
lie view. The arrangements are so perfect
that every one who deeires to see them
will have no,difieulty in being gratifed.
1t is raining here to-day, but this is no i'm
Pediment to the throngs passing to the
park.

worthy of her citizens. Their sad counte-
nAnces attest stronger than words the
heavy grief which affects sll hearts.
