This morning at an early hour the streets OF our
usually quiet village were alive with people wear
ing an indescribable look OF expec ancy and
soIemnity, portcntous OF some dire calamity
Though dressed IN their usual sunday garb. there
was yet none OF that feeling OF serenity which
usually prevails on the day OF rest; but instead,
an expression OF sadness was almost every
countenance. and well might this be. At that
early hour million OF hts countrymcn had read
the sorrowIul tidings borne on the nghtuing's
wings rom the lakes to the Gulf, and from the
Atlantic TO the Pacific across the lar Western
plains, OF ANDREW Johnson's DEATH and his life
less body was being brought back TO the nome OF
his choice, among the people with whom he had
cast his lot and who had witnessed mis- wonderful
career from the tailor's bench to the White House
And his neighoors and friends had ssembled to
receive with honor and respect the nieless form
OF him who but lew days ago had moved among
them In the vIgor OF health and manhood.
on the arrival OF the train at seven O'Clock the
remains were taken charge OF bJ the Masonic
fraternity, and placed on the hearse prepared for
their reception, which was draped in black, even
the spokes and hubs OF the wheels being covered
with the sombre habiliments OF woe.
THE PROCESSION
then moved down Depot street TO MAN, thence
to the residence or the deceased, where the
body was removed from the cofin and placed IN
a beautiful silver mounted casket. lined with
white satin, being meanwhile EMBODIED in beautl-
full silken national nag, while In one nand was the
constitution, thus complying with his oft repeated
request that the nag of his country should be his
winding sheet and in his hand should be placed
the sacred instrument he so much Eevered In liie
The banner was the gilt OF Perez Dickinson, OF
Knoxville, an old and esteemed friend OF Mr.
Johnson. The casket bore the simple inscrlp-
