FUNERAL SERvICEs.-Yesterday Levi Hag-
gett aged Al years, was carried to his final rest
ing place. He was for many years pressman,
and had the reputation of being faithful and
efficient workman. For some time he had bat

and finally succumbed. The members of the
Typographical Union, of which he was MEM
Der, showed him every attention and kindness
during his sickness, and turned out in a body to
attend his funeral. Rev. A H. Wright of the
st. Lawrence street church, officiated at the
funeral, which took place at his late residence,
No. 80 Wilmot street. He was buried in Ever

| Do WE NEED a PARK?-At this season of the
| year there is no lovelier spot along which to
saunter than BramhalPs Hill around the Wes-
| tern Promenade. The recent rains hove fresh
ened vegetation and deepened the green on
| leaf, shrub and lawn. The view from the brow
of the hill on clear day is magnificent. No
other of its size, in New England, can boast of
finer private residences than are to be seen in
that section of our city. Hundreds of our citi-
zens morning and evening of every pleasant
day enjoy the advantages there offered.
