A Chigngo Times correspondents writes
from New York about funerals: The pre-
sent innovatior is to lay the body upon a
couch, dressed in its accustomed clothing,
with pillow under the head. The position
is usually that Of the right or left side. and
the hands are arranged in some easy or
nat ural position. If the dead is a lady. a
handsome shawl is thrown over the Fl cure,
aud, if man, an Afghan or silk quilt serves
for covering. Flowers arc in the room.
but not in such obstrusive abundance as 10
make the odor of these beautiful things
haunt you forever afterward. The funeral
is announced aud the friends and acquaint-
ances are invited. through the public Prints.
to be present and take leave of the departed.
