The LAST RITES. -Yesterday afternoon
the remains of Samuel Williams, who
met his death through the accident at
the Newark mine, were followed to the
grave by one Of the very largest funeral
PROFESSIONS we have seen in Phoebe.
The remains were first taken to the Epis.
copal Church, where the Rev. Fl. L.
Badger performed the affecting and SOL
emn ritual Of that church. After the
close of the services at the church the
coffin was placed in the hearse. and,
headed by the minister, the procession
passed along Cedar and Main streets to
the cemetery. The procession was of
immense length, and composed of our
best citizens, who seemed DESTROYS of
showing their respect and sympathy for
the deceased and his family. At the
grave the beautiful liturgy was most i'm
pressively pronounced by the minister,
and visibly affected all present. The
friends of the deceased clustered SORROW
fully around the grave, showing how
deeply they felt the terrible visitation
that deprived his family of protector,
themselves of reliable friend, and the
community of an excellent and valuable
citizen.
The M1NsrELs.-The performances Of
this troupe deserved more extended
notice than We were able to give them
yesterday morning, for their new and
original scenes. Among others which
created great amusement, was the
Stranger from Africa" who introduced
feline quadruped that evidently had
not been trained by the crusaders, for
such was its fondness for the bottle, that it
insisted on carrying one bodily off the
stage. That cat was certainly not local
optionist. The songs and choruses
were given in excellent taste, which,
lnterspersed with sundry comicalities,
sent the audience home in excellent
humor.

henderson returned yesterday from
Hike, where he has been staying for the
last four weeks looking after some min
