Wong Hang Soon, one Of the
most prominent Cinnamon in SaI
Francisco, died lately, aged sixty.
two. His funeral was conducted
according to the ceremonial of hi.
native country, and was the most
remarkable demonstration of the
sort ever seen in America. About
twenty Cinnamon, dressed in long
white trobes, attended the hearse
and among these were two or three
hired mourners, sustained by men
walking on either side. The
mourners carried Joss sticks and
bent themselves toward the ground,
appearing not to walk, but to bs
dragged along by the attendants.
There were ffty-Oight hacks and
other carriages in line, four bands
of music, and four or FIVE express
wagons loaded with propitiatory
roast pigs, chickens, and all sorts d
complicated and uncertain edibles.

Another Plan for Aerial Navigation

A flying machine has not We
been perfected, though many in
genuous plans have been tried. tn,
latest attempt to make q machine
which can be sustained in the all
for long period, and moved in apy
direction at the will Of the operator,
has been made by a Philadelphia
mechanic, who has been expert
menting for four years. We were
present at a private exhibition of
the model Wednesday. The model
empTaces a cigar-shaped balloon,
twelve feet long by six in. diameter,
and the car and machinery are sus-
pended. A copper globe, one foot
IN diameter, is filed with compress
ed air, communicating through q
hollow rod, with a small engine
which drives three paddles on each
side. When the compressed air is
liberated the papdles ale driven at
any degree of velocity, and can
Propel the machine at a speed of
eight miles an hour, The paddles
can be depressed and raised, and |
thus u act as the steering apparatus.
The success Of the model was a.
5onishing. The flying machine
moves majestically through the air,
sometimes in circle of the room,
'ometimes in straight line, and
gain revolving on an imaginary
'ivot, instantly obeying the touch
II the operator.
MIR. Judson claims for his ma
hine that, unlike the balloon, it
.oeS not require expenditure of bal.
ast to rise or the loss of gas to de-
cend. After initiation the boat is
Untouched, ana the paddles can run
!, either up or down at an angle of
0 degrees.
1t is the intention of Mr., Judson i
} build a larger model for exhi- I
ltion in one of our large halls. All {
lie profits thence derived are to be
richly applied to the construction
a large, real flying machine, !
.rong enough to carry a man, and +
n. Judson is hopeful that if the :
lbhc sustains him-whv the ma /;
line will sustain him also.-fPhila-

me village OF PG0cGdaip was
thrown into excitement Oh Thurs
day last, by the report that two
graves had been dug up near
Wats0n's corner, on the shore CT
the Saugatuck river. The family
Of William Rose, who resides at

ferry, are subject 10 consumption,
several members Of the family
having died Of the disease. and

quite lew with i. AT the urgent
request Of the sick man, The father,
assisted by Charles Harrington, Of
North Kingston, repaired to the
burying-gr0und, located one mile
north Of Peacedale, and, after
building & fire, first dug up the
grave OF his SOB, who had been
buried twelve Years, for the pur-
pose OF tax ing out his heart and
liver, Which we're to be placed in
the fire AMI consumed, in order to
carry out the al.l supertition that
the censumptive dead draw nour-
ishment from the living. But as
the body WAS entirely reduced TO
ashes. except 4 few bones. it was
shortly covered up, and the body
OF a daughter, who had been dead
seven years, was taken out Of the
grave beside her brother. This
Body was found 10 he nearly
wasted away, except the vital
parts, the liver and heart, which
were in a perfect state Of preserva-
ton. The coffin was nearly per-
1ect, while the sons collin was
nearly demolished. After the
heart ana liver had been taken
out, they were placed in the fire
and consumed, the ashes only be-
ing put back in the grave. The
fire was then put out and the two
men departed for their respective
homes. only few spectators
were present to witness the hor-
TiblG scene. II seems that this is
not the first time that graves have

was prevalent in the family, and
