sylvania snd Maryland, adjoining States,
was exceedingly cordial.
SHREWSBURY.
Shrewsbury wss reached at 6 o'clock
The common dressed lsborer stood bss de
the we'll dressed citizens, and black and
white formed an interesting group. The
gloom produced by the death for the time
leYeled all distinctions.
OTHER TOWNS.
At various other places the national
banner was displayed either festooned with
Grape OF bearing a black border. The
same solemnity of couutenRnce was every
where seen, and all seemed to be profound
ly silent spectators of the burial cortege.
YORK.
At York the sidewalks, as we'll as the
doors and windows, sWsrmed with people.
Badges of mourning and drsped flags were
everywhere seen. The train wss tastefully
festooned with black cloth, both inside and
out. There occurred q scene of unsur-
passed interest, and the ladies Of York
asked permission to lay on the coffin q
wreath of flowers. General Townsend,
Assistant Adjutant General of the United
States Army, granted the request, with 8
modification, that six Of them might per-
form the service. During the performance
of dirge by an instrumental band, the
flowers were brought forth and carried in
procession to the funeral car, while the
bells tolled, and sllthe men stood uncov-
cred. The ladies, namely, Mrs. Samuel
Smalley, Mrs. Henry E. Miles, Mrs. David
E. Smslley, Miss Plover, Miss Louisa
D1cker, Miss Susan Smalley, and Miss
Jane Lstimore, entered the car, three on
each side of the coffin, and the wreath hsv-
ing been handed to them they placed it in
the centre of the coffin, aud then returned,
those who witnessed the scene bitterly
weeping. The bells continued to toll and
the band to sound its mournful strains.
The wreath was very large, sbovt three
feet in circumference. The outer circle
was of roses, and alternate parallel lines
we're composed of whits and red fowe 8,
of the choicest description. The hand Of
sffection could not have contributed a
more choice and delicate tribute to de-
parted worth.
