A Grange Burial.
From the Leavenworth Times, March 8.


From the Leavenworth Times March g. a.iA
The first burial of member of the
Patrons of Husbandry with the honors
of the order that has cometo our notice,
took place on March 9th, in Hickapoo,
when the remains of Henry Bolin were
consigned to their last resting place
with all the pomp and funeral pageant
of the granger burial service. Mr..
Bolin was a prominent member and the
attendance was very large, some four
hundred persons being present. The
programme of the burial was about as
follows +:
On leaving the residence Of the de-
ceased, the hearse which contained the
remains was fanked on either side by
three pail bearers, who walked with
uncovered heads and regalias draped in
mourning. Following the hearse came
the relatives of the deceased, and next
marched the Sisters of the Order, clad
in full regalia. The Brothers came
next. and following them the vast con-
course of people, who had come from
far and near to witness the ceremonies.
The remains were first taken to the
church, where priest went through a
service peculiar to the Catholic Church,
of which the deceased was a member.
When the exercises here had been con-
cluded, the procession took up it's
march for the cemetery where the
granger funeral rites were performed.
The coffin was placed on supports
directly over the open grave, and re-
manned there till the impressive and
interesting service was concluded. Ct.
~ Ill,
Grange, conducted the ceremonies.
When the brothers and sisters of the
Grange Of which the deceased was
member had assembled about the
grave, the Master read selection from
the burial ritual, followed by second
selection by the Chaplain, and then the
members repeated slowly and solemnly
the Lords prayer, closing with beau
tiful and appropriate hymn. The
brothers of the Order then stepped to
the grave and threw into the opening
several boquets of flowers and ever
greens. A short but powerful address
was next delivered by the Chaplain.
While the coffin was being lowered, a
beautiful and soul inspiring hymn was
sung, and during the singing the sisters
showered bouquets of flowers upon the
descending coffin until it reached the
wooden box at the bottom of the grave.
The Master then sprinkled portion of
dirt thrown from the grave over the
coffin, and the service closed with the
solemn benediction of the Chaplain.
Taken throughout, the ceremonies
were very beautiful and impressive.
This is the first buriel of Granger in
the county, and if we are rightly in
formed, in the State-that is, with the
ceremonies of the Order.
How Philadelphia Judge Passes Sen
tence.
Max Adeler says: They've got a
Judge in Philadelphia who goes as far
in the other direction as man can and
yet be Judge, and this youth has
teeth. He smiles increasingly; he beams
on the jury; he shippers at the female
witnesses; he smirks at the lawyers,
and fairly grins at the prisoner, whom
he sentences after this sort of fashion.
Showing his hindermost tooth he
laughingly says:
ssWell, Jimmy, the jury have found
you guilty. And Jimmy, it only remains
to pass the sentence of the court. Stand
up, Jimmy" So Jimmy stands up and
faces the smiling Judge with a good
deal of confidence.
CHOW, Jimmy, in consideration of
two circumstances your case isn't going
against you. Your lawyer has saved
the court good deal of trouble in not
motioning for new trial, though /
don't hesitate to say now that, upon the
exceptions taken, [ shouldn't have been
able to deny you one. The second miti-
eating circumstance, Jimmy, is your
age. It seems case in which justice
should be tempered with mercy. Dim
my is in the neighborhood of sixty. }
And Jimmy, you have cause for thank
fulness that you didn't get on the next
calendar. There are six indictments
against you, upon each of which you'd
been safe to get twenty years each, and
hundred and twenty years is no fool
of sentence. But, as [ said, l lay
aside much of the Judge. when [ take
into consideration but two OF these
counts and sentence you to forty year S
solitary imprisonment and hard labor
at Moyamensing. Good morning. Don't
come here again.
