work he expects TO elevate the main building
ABOUT ONE FOOT PER DAY.
In Chicago he believes that he would be able,
with his trained men, to raise IL two feet and
half daily. Here, as he has but two of his regu-
lar force-the rest being ordinary labarers which
he employed in the DiStTict-much time will be
lost at first, in giving necessary Instructions
He paws his men two dollars per day, and says
he expects good men for that price; If he dnds

As soon as the elevating apparatus is placed

about fifty men. The operation Of house raising
being something novel in the District of Colum-

will doubtless be witnessed by large number
of interested spectators.

DRoLL SUNDAY rUNsxAL.,
How the Boys Buried the Garash

curious little affair was witnessed yesterday
by one of our reporters returning FROM a stroll
across the Long bridge, demonstrating the
curious initiative faculties of the juveniles of
African descent, and showing, too, that they do
rot share the prejudices of brother Sunderland
and the other clergymen against "Sunisy
funerals" Some six or seven colored bows hal
either caught or picked up, on the river shore,
an immense gartsh nearly two feet in length,
which they had laid out on a strip of plank, en-
veloped In piece Of newspaper for \ winding
sheet, ard went trudging homeward across the
bridge in all the forms and ceremonies of a
Masonic funeral. Their aprons were improvised
with pieces or newspaper tied on with river
grass, and one little imp had his Jacket tied
around his body by the sleeves, the white lining
Outside serving the pnrpOse. One little fellow,
about the size of piece of chalk, had an old
CASTOR tin kettle fastened on his side for q
drum, on which he kept most accurate time to
the whistling of the pall-bearers, while two
larger ones, about az high as a walking stick,
who seemed to boss things, went ahead with
their fishing rods and occasionally would stop
and hold them up TO point while the process
zion marched under, uncovering their heads in
the most solemn manner imaginable. The same
order was kept up ali the way across the bridge,
the dead march never ceasing, and during the
time several other admirng little chaps fell into
line The ceremony of interment was not Wit
messed; the procession and march being good
enough without il.

quarters OF the ourneymen Barbers Union. In
consequence OF these blunders In calling the meet

tnirty-one acres The fortyfour lot is bounded
on the southeast by the Williamsburg and Newtown

about six hundred yards distant from the present
cemetery or about three or four minutes drive
The fortyour acre lot is already partially laid out
and IL will he ready for use some time during the
month of December. The plots, divisions and gene
raj laying out OF the grounds will be something
similar to sections and in the present ceme-
terry. This new burial ground will be reached
10y funerals by passing through the present
cemetery and the services will be read az the little
mortuary chapel until such time as an appropriate
building has been erected on the new grounds

plating a handsome entrance from the Flushing

The back Of the head, the hands and the legs

with the ripples. Its costume consisted OF striped
shirt and dark pants. The hair or the poor unfOr-
tunate was dark. The ierryboat did not pause, but
made fast to the wharf, and the whole crowd Of
passengers rushed aft to see the body n0atlng out
from under the still revolving wheels toward the
next pier. No effort was made to save 1t from
being lost, and it was supposed to have lodged
among the piles, out Of sight. Late in the after
