THE FUNERAL OF MRS. GREELEY.


Services at DIR. Chapin's Church.
The funeral obsequies Of Mrs. Horace Greeley took
place at noon yesterday in the presence OF one OF
the largest church gatherings ever known in this
city. at the Church Of the Divine Paternity Fourth
Universast, OF the corner of Forty street and
Fifth avenue. The galleries and aises were thronged
half an hour before the time appointed, mostly
with ladies, though great number of the literary
and political friends OF Mr.. Greeley could be dis
covered here and there through the crowd. The
seats in the centre OF the church were set aside for
the use of the bercaved family and their mere init
mate friends.
At few minutes past eleven the cortege, con-
sstng Of about twelve carriages left the residence
OF Alvin D. johnson, on Filty-seventh street, where
the body of deceased had lain since her death, and
proceeded to the church. Daring the morning the
friends OF deceased had thronged the parlors,
taking their last look upon the features OF the
beloved one, and it was long after the
stated hour that the casket could be closed. The
funeral procession arrived at DR.. Chapin's church
| at few minutes past twelve. The people had
| gathered in almost dense mass on the steps, and
it required some EFFORT on the part OF the
police to open way for the pail bearers.
! The casket was carried up the aisle followed by
these gentlemen as Observation-Disclosures Schell,
John f. Williams, Waldo Hutchins, Dr. Bayard,
Alvin J. Johnson, Richard II. Manning, Marcus
Spring. Isaiah s. Williams Ivory Chamberlain and
John II. Stuart.
Behind these came Mr. Greeley, escorting his
daughter Ida, Mrs. Lamson and Gabrielle; Mr and
Mrs. Sinclair, Mr.. and Mrs. Ripley, Samuel Sinclair
Jr and wife, George Hoffman, Whitelaw Reid,
Samuel J. Tilden Mrs. Partridge, Mrs. Stuart and
long line OF personal friends OF the family solemn
as the procession moved up tho asle The casket
was very handsome one OF polished walnut, with
silver mOuldings and handles. On the lid was a
silver plate with the simple inscription

What man or beast does not enjoy itf Every
wild ANIMAL from the lordly lion 10 the insignif-
caut mouse, bestows careful PaiDs uPoa its mes
ting place. The universal instinct which prompts
this case indicates that it is matter u ne small
Importance in the physical economy. About one
ting. and nature intended that during this time
n. conditon should bs the most favorable for re-
storing and building up the organization In
the care Of domestic animals, kept for profit this
point is worthy Of special attention. Comforta-
Die bedding directly favors the increase Of fat and
muscle by helping to retain the animal heat, and
also by adding to quiet and comfort. In this way
. bundle OF straw on the outside may be equivs-
lent to feed of grain inside. Horses are usually
well cared for in this respect, with view to
keep their muscles in COED Orlcr, - every tyro
must know that sleeping upon hard board will
scarcely give plisncy to the limbs But gond
bedding is Of little benefit to cattle. If it be
doubted, experiment for two weeks with mich
cows; give them comfortable litter the first week
aud allow them 70 lie upon the frozen ground the
second, then note the difference recorded in the
milk pail; it will be very great.
Straw and refuse hay are generully used, and
are well suited for bedding. Cutting into lengths
of say six inches, has some advantages though it
would hardly pay if required to be cut by hand.
Where these can not lie had cheaply, as is often
times the case i'm villages, excellent substitute
may be found in leaves. They possess one advan-
tage over straw, in making the very best manure
for gardening, when mixed with animal excre-
ment. Spent tan bark, well dried, is another
good substitute, also valuable as q mulch. A
layer Of dried muck, six inches thick, serves
good purpose for bedding. 1t is q most excellent
absorbent, and will remain in good condition for
some time without being changed. When well
saturated it is just the article for the garden or
the field. With proper care in. furnishing abun-
dant bedding for stock, . large accession to the
manure heap will be made, sufficient Of itself to
pay for the trouble.

Does every animal have q comfortable protec.

If they do not, rest assured that their prOprictOrs
are losing money faster than they are aware of.
Put calves in an apartment by Themselves g.
pecally at night, where they can he well fed, and
where they can lie down and l,e comfortable. A
few hundred feet Of boaris, and three hours'
work, will make q comfortable shelter for half q
dozen calves. Let them be well fed with the
finest quality Of hay and some cut cornstalks,
and cnt straw with about one quart of meal
each. daily; aud let them have good bed Of
straw.
When there are few weak and feeble sheen,
let them be separated from the flock and placed
by themselves, where they will receive little
extra attention.
See that store hogs have good nest-warm
anu dry; as they will not thrive well when ex-
posed to the wet and cold of winter.
Let every domestic animal have access, at all
times, to good water that is near by. When they
are compelled to 20 fnrlong or two-as many
cattle do-they often drink too much, which
gives them the collie.
Cut down timber for saw logs this month, and
let the trees fall on small logs, that they may be
ready to be hauled to mill when the first snow
falls.
When the ground is not frozen, laborers may
work advantageously and profitably at picking
stone and other instructions from the meadows.
Let the manure of the horse stable be spread
around the yard, and suffer it not to remain in a

We consider early winter to lie ths best time
for scrapng and washing the trunks Of trees. II
Is well known to all observing fruit growers that
the loose bark of trees is the winter quarters of
myria,ls of insects, where they securely remain
until the ensuing spring, when the warm genial
weather invites them to quit their coy homes
and begin their destructive operations for the
season. We have found a narrow saw, rather
hne toothed, to he excellent tool in rsspinr off
the superf1uous bark. 1t accomplishes it moro
