Funeral of Gov. Brough.

Inc lunerai OF Gov. Brough took place
at his late residence in Cleveland, on FRI
day of last week. 1t was attended by a
large concourse of people, including Gov.
Anderson and staff, and many other no.
ted men Of the Stale. "The day." says
the Leader, "dawned as best it could be-
meath a sky black and frowning with
clouds, which sent down, hardly without
intermission during the day, floods OF
rain. Nature sympathized with man ,and
put on sackclo:h, and bathed the earth
with tears, in mourning the loss OF the
distinguished man whose mortal remains
were to be committed 10 the grave.--
Owing to the forbidding state o! the
weather, the order ofexercises was some.
what varied. and hundreds were not nble
10 be in attendance because Of the impos.
sibi!ity Of procuring carriages. The city
wore solemn aspect, and the streets were
hushed. Flags at various points dropped
at half mast. Business was entirely sus.
pended, out OF respect to the memory OF
the deceased" .1...aYr w.l .arsln

Church, read q number OF appropriate
passages from the Scriptures, alter which
Rev. NJ. A. Hoge, Of The Presbyterian
Church, made an appropriate address,
which was listened to with profound al.
tention by all present" -' 4, F, : '''' 't.}' w..
An opportunity was now offered 10

dead, and many availcd them selves Of the
privilege. The remains, which were ly.
ing in state in the froEt parlor, were in.
closed in q magnificent coffin, covered
with rich black drapery and lined with
white satin. The drapery was relieved
with solid silver spangles Of various De.
vices, which ornamented the casket. At
each corner shone a silver star, from
which hung silver tassel. On the coffin
was a silver plate bearing simple in
scription. The hand OF affection had
placed upon the head Of the coffin most
beautiful cross Of white flowers, and an
anchor of the same upon the foot.
Tho corpse had been vol preserved, and
retained q remarkably lifo.Iike expression.
