Funeral Of Major Hdson.

At one O'Clock our streets were thronged
with citizens, and workmen from the Island
who had been granted permission to attend
the last sacred rites of their friend. About
half . n hour later, . company OF soldiers
from the Ialaud under command OF Lieut..
Butler, came over and marched up Wash
in0ton ,treet TO the residence of Mrs.
Buford where the services were to a
n,ace. The workmen and citizens fell into
line and marched in broken order to the
same place.
At the house numerous carriages were
drawn up, and IN immense ossemblage OF
friends and acqusintsnces we're present
awaiting the arrival of the time set for the
services. The beautiful and solemn service
for the dead, of the Episcopalian Church,
wal read by the pastor of the Episcopal
Church in this city, Rev. T. 1. Holcomb
The choir then sang q beautiful hymn,
ASLEEP in Jesus" and the services at the
house were over. Then came the most Of
fectiug scene of the ceremony, the last, sad,
parting look Of relatives, friends and &C.
qusintancss, at the silent face of the dead.
The universe. grief expressed BY the assem-
blsge was q touching tribute to the chsrsc-
ter and worth of the deceased, and must
have been pleasing to the relatives.
After the coffin was closed six officers were
detailed to bear it to the hearse, which Wal
borne out to the music of a dead march, the
relatives and companion officers following
it. Outside the house were the crowd 1T
waiting to witness and attend the pageant
in number over q thousand.
The procession was formed with Strssser't
rand on the lead; then came . company o.
soldiers, about 60 10 number; then thu
hearse, with the coffin wrapped
in the Star SPangled Banner
and his brother officers walking bv the side
then came the horse Of the deceased, drspec
in black, and with the saddle on his back
and boots in the golden stirrups then thu
mournsrs in carriages, his relatives and hi
widow. Tho friends and acquaintance
in carriages, of which there we're about 81
or so. The workmen from the Island, Il
the number of about 500 or 600, unde
charge of their superintendent and foremer
then followed on foot, and in good order
The deceased was a member of the Masoni,
fraternity and had there been s~uficien
time TO have notified the smembers Q
the lodge in this city, they would uudoub'
eddy have taken part in the ceremony.
The procession moved out of town by va,
of the bluff road to Chippianock oemeter.
and to the grave, where the remainder o
the funeral service was read by Mr.. Hol
comb, and the body was lowered into its las
resting place, after which q salute was fret
BY a firing squad of sixteen. Ths dirt wa
thrown into the grave, and the crowd turned
their faces homeward and dispersed.

The County Fair.

1t is doubtless q matter of regret
to few in the county, that this fair
is to be held on the same days as the
State Fair at Burlington. There are
many good farmers here that came
from the western part of the State,
and who feel desire to 20 to the
State fair, not to add to its exhibition !;
but to see the many old friends and
neighbors of their boyhood. In a de-
sire to escape the effects of an equi-
noxial storm, and not knowing the
time chosen for the State fair, the d.
rectors chose the 18th & 14th Of
Sept. We apprehend that most citi-
zens who desire to go out Of the Coun-
ty to fair will choose to 90 to Man
chester, n. H., to the New England
Fair which occurs this week. In the
two years to come it will doubtless be
good policy for our farmers, dairymen,
stock breeders and mechanics, to
show largely at Burlington. The fair
was located there for five years, and
this We believe, is the third. When
it is moved where will it go? 1t is
evident that connected as the Passump-
sic road will be with Western and
Northern lines, new and old, that St.
Johnsbury or Barton can as reasona
bly, expect the State fair upon Mei,
grounds as any other locality. Sever.
al large towns south of the centre Of
the State have had the benefits or in
jury, as the case may be, of these vast
gatherings, and their distance and in
accessibility has been such that Or
leans, Caledonia and Essex Counties
have been very mcagerly represented
and there seemed to be some grounds
for the idea that these counties wer,
in the backwoods and had nothing t,
show. Therefore it would be well
next year this section could be wei
represented at the fair and at tn
business meetings, so that when tn
time is up at Burlington it will be th
common talk that there is no other S
good place in which to hold the Stat
fair as at Barton or st. Johnsbury o
the line Of the Passumpsic road, cas-

try east, west, north and south.

years of age, and weighs two hundred

ordinary men to carry one. lie can
take a cask containing forty gallons
of whisky or water (the former is pre-
ferred, we presume), and raise it from

hole with as much ease as another
could out of common pitcher; and
he has frequently taken a barrel OF
flour under each arm, and balancing
a sack Of salt on his head, carried
them for several hundred yards with
apparently but little effort. He Of

Monday last. 1t will be remembered
that sheriff Boswell seized one of the
supposed burglars, as the train was
slowing into the Junction, and that
he broke away from him and run into
the darkness. 1t is supposed he had
these tickets upon his person. 1t was
