Mr. BERaER's FUNERAL.-The dis
play attendant upon the funeral OF
Jacob Berger, yesterday, was probably
greater than any since that of Captain
John List, near two years ago. The
various lodges of Odd Fellows turned
out in procession In full numbers.
They alone, In crossing the suspension
bridge, occupied about half It's length.
There were ninety hacks and carriages
In the procession, which was not FAR
from half a mile in length. The inter-

An AMUSING TUNNEL INCIDENT
Doubtless the tunnel on the Eastern
Railroad, just east Of the depot in Salem,
has been the scene of numerous amusing
incidents, but we doubt if anything of Q
more ludicrous character has ever taken
place in 1t than the following: Itseems
that few days since, q lady and her
sister, and grown-up son of the latter,
took the cars at Boston for the East, the
sisters occupying seat together and
the young man the one behind, with
another person. Upon entering the tun-
mel, the aunt, to have little fun, rose
up carefully, reached over to the seat
the young man had been occupying,
seized some one by the collar, shook
him soundly, and then resumed her seat.
The sister, surprised at her vigorous
movements, asked what she had been
doing, and was informed by the other
that she had been trying to frighten her
nephew. Her feelings can be imagined
when the mother made her acquainted
with the fact that tho young man left
the train at Salem, and that she had
been "shsking up the wrong passen-
ger.n When the train emerged from the
tunnel, the person who had been mis-
taken for the son was observed adjust
ing his neck-tie and collar, and remark
cd that he did not know what the mat
ter was with the ladies in front of him,
but thought one Of themmust be insane,
for she had given him . sevsre shaking,
torn off his neck-tie, scratched his face,
and disarranged his hair, and he was at
loss to give any other account for the
sudden stack that had been made upon
him.
