A Connecticut Funeral.

Father Hawley, city missionary, is some.
times called upon to attend funerals in the
capacity Of clergyman, pall-bearer aud grave.
digger. On Sunday evening be gave an ao.
count to the audience in the Pearlstreet
church Of bis experience in that line of duty,
which is worth Publishing. We will let him
tell his own story:
A man, who had been sick, died He
lived-well, no matter where. The First
Selectman came to me and said; "Mr.
Hawley, that man is dead can you see 10
the funerAll" told him l would, aud l did.
It was on Thursday rainy, cold, disa
greeable dsyyand started 10 my buggy for
the house. On arriving there | found the
wife Of the dead man and her boy. The
corpse had been put in a coffin furnished BY
the town. This was in the room, and l sat
down on one side of it and the woman on the
other. | thought would talk with her about
the loss she had met with, aud so l cons
menced to speak of her husband.
"Yes," she interrupted, "he was a smart
Teller; be was the best man l ever see to
raise nice potatoes"
This was somewhat ludicrous, but kept
on trying to get her attention on the subject
Of the death, but every now and then she
would have something to say about the DO
tatoes, or about the skill of her husband as
farmer and producer of crops.
Finally, the man engaged by the town
came to take the body to the grave. | pro,
posed that we should have prayers before
leaving the house, but just then 1 heard a
big bull dog, that had been cycling US pretty
sharply, commence growing, and told the
woman the boy must tie up the dog l was
satisfied that be would make strike for me
or the other man before the ceremony was
over. The boy tied him up, and we went 90
with the exercises.
When we were ready to start for the grave
there was orly the man and myself to load
up the coffin, and it was a heavy load, |
assure you. Finally we got it in the wagon
and were ready to go. l told the woman
that she could ride with me in my buggy.
She said she didn't believe she would go, as
she was afraid she would soil her dress
The rain was then coming down in torrents
and the mud was quite deep. She consented
at last to go, and after she was seated in the
buggy l tucked the blanket all around her,
at her request, as she was very anxious not
to get her dress vet or muddy. l asked the
boy if he wouldn't ride, and be said be
guessed not he would run over cross lots,
and thought he would get there 6rst. All
the way over the woman talked of nothing
but her dress-if she should spoil that il
would be all day with her.
In due time the burial took place and ]
got the woman back home again.
The next Monday she came into my Office
and showed me a marriage certificate she
had got married that day

George D. Prentice has been Il constant
drinker for forty years. For ten years
he has been a drinker Ofthe lignum-vitfe
order. Here is temperance lecture
by him, worth score, at least, of the
Good Templar eXhOTtatiOns and misrep-
reservations:
'"There is a time when the pulse lies
low in the bosom and beats low in the
veins; when the spirit sleeps the sleep
which, apparently, knows no waking;
sleeps in its house of clay, and the win
dOws are shut, the doors hung with the
invisible Grape of melancholy; when we
wish the golden sunshine pitchy dark
ness, and wish to fancy clouds where no
clouds be. This is a state of sickness
when physic may be thrown to the dogs,
for we want none of it. What shall
raise the spirit? What shall make the
heart beat music again, and the pulses,
through all the myriad thTOnged halls in
the house of life? What shall make the
sun kiss the eastern hills again for us
with all his old awakening gladness, and
the night overflow with moonlight, love
and flowers? Love itself is the greatest
stimulent, the most Intoxicating of all,
and performs all these miracles, and is q
miracle itself, and is not at the drug
store, whatever they say. The counter
felt is in themarket, but the winged God
is not n money changer we assure you.
Men have tried many things, but still
they ask for stimulant.
Men try to bury the floating dead of
their own souls in the wine cup, but the
corpse rises. We see their faces in the
bubbles. The intoXiCatiOn of drink sets
the world whirling again, and the pulses
to playing music and the thoughts gall
Looping, but the first clock runs down
sooner, and an unnatural stimulant only
leaves the house it filled with the Wild
est revelry, more silent, more sad, more
deserted.
There is only one stimulant that new
er intoXicates, duty. Duty puts a clear
sky over every man into which the
sskylark-happiness always goes sing

COLUMBUS OHIO, Aug. II, 1863.
Ara full meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Ohio, held
in the city of Columbus, on the 18th
day of August, 1869, to take in consider
alton the declination of General Rose
Grams, as the Democratic candidate for
Governor, after q full and free inter-
change of views and opinions between
the members of the Committee and
Democrats from various parts of the
State, it was unanimously resolved that
the Committee to proceed nominate a
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Ohio, to fill the vacancy OccasiOned by
the declination of General Rosecrans,
On motion, Hon. George H. Pendle-
ton was then nominated as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio
by the unanimous vote of all the mem
bers of the Committee, and his accept
ance of the nomination was required by
telegraph.
Mr.. Pendleton at once notified the
Chairman of the Committee that he ac-
cepted the nomination for Governor ten
dered him, and gave the assurance that
he would canvas the State.
On motion, Committee of five was
appointed to notify Mr.. PendletOn by
letter of his nomination for Governor,
consisting of E. +. Bingham, H. H.
Dodge, a. 4. Ramsey, David Tarbill
andSE. V. Brookfeld.
On motion; the meeting adjourned.

The nomination of Pendleton excites
the widest enthusiasm. An imprompt
ratification meeting was held tonight
at the west front of the State House,
which was immense in its proportions
never before saw so many people come
together on such short notice. The
crowd was very large indeed, and such
cheering as there was for PendletOn
made the welkin ring again and again
The shouting was like the sound of many
waters, and there was a fine band OF
music to enliven the occasion. The i'm
Dnense multitude was called to order by
Mr.. John G. Thompson, Chairman OF
the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, who introduced COlOnelGeO. w,

to the extent of $3.50, passing gOverentirc-

returned an income of $780, This has no
reference whatever to GRANTS salary

is an evasion of the law which should
