FUNERAL OF THE LATE BYRON GREENoueH.
The public services at the obsequies Of the
late Byron Greenough took place yesterday
forenoon at 10 o'clock at the Free street Bap-
fist church. At the house a brief service was
held, at which Rev. Mr.. Small and Rev. DR..
bosworth were present, after which the re-
mans were taken 10 the church followed by
long retinue Of carriages filled with relatives
and friends. The body of the church was NIL
ed with members of the church and society oi
which deceased had so long occupied pro"'-
nent place, as we'll as q considerable humoer
of his fellow citizens, companions IN business
matters. The solemn exercises were opened
by Rev. T. B. Ripley, who read hymn which
was SING BY quartette of voices without Oh
GAN accompaniments. Rev. DR.. Smaller read
the proper selection of Scriptures, and follow
ed in some remarks bearing testimony to the
labors of the deceased as member of the
Baptist church, his quick sympathy for the
unfortunate aud his readiness in contributing
to philanthropic enterprises. Rev. DR.. Bos-
worth Of Haverhill, Mass, former pastor of
the church, followed DIR. Shaier. He spoke
tenderly of bis owp relations to Mr.. Green
ough, his sincerity OF faith, and his constant
zeal in christian work. Rev. Mr. Small, the
present pastor OF the church, spoke of Mr.
Greenough's brave contest with disease for
twenty years; how often he had nearly sur
rendered, but receiving new grace and strength
had overcome for time. e
The legacy of the deceased was an example
that would never die, and the coming genera
ton, though they never would know the man
we mourn would be benefited by his infiu-
ence. The life Of such a man encouraged us
to lay aside youthful timidity and become
brave in the works that are committed to us
his survivors and successors. Prayer follow

hymn --s
