A singular Last REQUEST.

The remains of the late Borlase Wing
6.ld wine and liquor merchant East
View, Sharples, were inferred in the fam
ily vault at Christ Church, Harwood, on
Monday night. A most singular request
had been made by the deceased gentle
man-that his horse, to which he was
much attached, should follow him to the
grave afterward have good feed oil
Corn. and then be destroyed This was
strictly carried out The horse, with the
closed carriage of the deceased, followed
in the rear Of the funeral procession,
and the next day, after being well
fed with corn, it was taken to
the side Of pit which had been
dug in a field adjoining the residence
of Mr. Wingfeld aud there blown
by Roger Hampson, veterinary surgeon,
Nelson Square. This operation was per-
formed in the following manner The
iugular vein was opened, and an iron pipe
having been inserted in the vein, It was
blown until the animal died, which oc'
Cured in about half a minute. Mr..
Winefeld had MISC requested that the
whole of the domestic animals might be
DESTROYED at the same time and buried
with the horse. Two cats were accord
incly drowned, and the remains OF a
faithful dog, which died about month
ago. were exhumed, and all buried In
one grave. Mr.. WinG6eld has left be-
quest to the whole of his servants. They
are not to be destroyed.

Barnum sold at Last.


The New York correspondent OF the
Louisville Courier says:
Barnum has been headed at last You
have heard of Jim Lloyd, the great map
man? Well, Barnum made contract
with Lloyd to print an advertisement OF
his museum on his map of Europe and
America, supposing, of course, its cir
culation would be rather limited. He
was to pay stipulated amount for each
map sold. Lloyd knows the value OF
advertising, and what with that and the
real value of the map lit is
the best in the world) he has
been selling many thousands per week;
Barnum was told that Jim had
declared he intended to own his museum
vet, and, getting alarmed at the monthly
bills sent in, refused to pay without forced
by law. The contract is for year, and
Barnum already owes several thousand
dollars. Lloyd swears he is going to sell
a million maps before the year ends, and
says he considers that he now owns Bar
NUNS baby elephant and the alligator.
He wants all the museum but the fat
woman, and says that it is capital enough
for Barnum to commence with again.
