THE FUNERAL OF Young ToMPKINs.
The scene yesterday afternoon at the
Cumberland street Baptist Church was
truly imposing and solemn The Rev.
Thomas Hume conducted the funeral
ceremonies of Elezar II. Tompkins The
church was crowded, and as the coffin of
the deceased was carried along the main
aisle of the church, to the foot of the
altar, the suppressed sobs Of the female
friends of the deceased broke upon the
ear with an impressive proof of his many
virtues, and their heartfelt regrets to his
memory. His grief-stricken parents,
brothers and sisters, shed tears of aflec-
ton over the remains of the loved one,
which, in life, was an ornament to their
family circle. Young Tompkins was a
consistent and worthy member of the
Baptist Church. The minister dwelt
upon his merits in life, and spoke words
Of consolation to his family and friends,
quoting from Corinthians the power of
Christ, and "blessed are those who die
in the Lord and closed his solemn
and religious consolation to the afflicted
relatives and friends with "Comfort We
with these words.p The deceased was
followed TO his grave by all that remains
OF his old Company, headed by their re-
spected and beloved Captain. The
solemn cortege was joined by numerous
friends of the deceased and large num-
Der OF citizens. Peace to his ashes.
