 | As the casket was borne from the hall down the steps, the band played the Dead March in Saul. The procession passed directly down Beacon street, between masses of people, which it re- quired the vigilant exertions of a large police force to prevent from encroach- ing upon the street. Preceding the Mayor were four men who bore mas- sive cross nine feet in height composed of calla lilies, camellias, lilies of the valley, violets and other choice exotics. At the base in bed of white violets were the words, "A tribute from his native city and home." It was proba- bly, one of the finest floral offerings ever seen in this city, and attracted the at tention of thousands before it was moved from the main entrance of the City Hall.
 Arrived at the church the remains were borne slowly down the aisle and deposited in front of the altar. After the organ prelude the Rev. MT. Foote recited in tremulous voice the beauti- ful sentence of St. John:
 "I am the resurrection and the life, sath the Lord. He who believed ill me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and who so iveth and believeth in me shall never die.
 Then followed the words of Job:
 "For know that my Redeemer iv- eth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall see God. We brought nothing into this world, and we can carry nothing out. The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
 The choir then sang the Neumark choral, "To Thee, O Lord, I yield my spirit" MT. Foote then read the Thirty-ninth and Ninetieth Psalms, the choir chanting the alternate passages. The selections from the fifteenth chap ter of First Corinthians, contained in the burial service, were then read, after which the choir sang Mendelssohn' s beautiful anthem, Happy and blest are they who have endured, for though the body dies the soul shall live for ever."
 MT. Foote then read the touching passages of the service beginning, "Man who is born of woman hath but short time to live, and is full of mis- cry. He cometh up and is cut down like flower; he feeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth to stay. ' The choir then sang Gastorius' 8 chol al, ''Leave God to order all thy ways" The prayers of the service followed, and then the choir sang Montgomery's hymn, "Servant of God, well done." MT. Foote then pronounced the bene- , diction, and Mendelssohn's funeral : march was played upon the organ as the remains were removed from the cuufcu. 4uo pFOceSS1Ou Gueu reformed, , apd the cortege slowly proceeded through Beacon and Charles streets tc Cambridge bridge, and thence to Mount Auburn, where it arrived shortly after , six o'clock.
