A Sad Scene.

The funeral services of the un- fortunate schoolgirl yzwho .swasisazso frightfully murdered at Pembroke, N. H., took place in that village. "A report of the sad affair says: The weather was chinys and the sky, overcast with leaden clouds, seemed in keeping with the sor row which prevailed in 8 desolate home and in g grief-stricken community The attendance, as would be expected, was very great, being probably the largest gathering which ever took place in the town. The people of Pembroke not only were present in large numbers, but many came from all eadjacent villages For long distance on either side the road was lined with carriages as closely as they could be placed. The large house itself was densely packed through out, while hundreds stood gathered in the yard and the street in front. N The students of the Pembroke academy, of which she wasa member, and a delega- tion from the Congregational Sabbath school, where she attended, were present in body, the young men wearing white gloves and badges of mourning and the young ladies similar emblems of grief.
 The remains of the murdered girl re- posed in handsome easket in the west front room of the house, asplendid floral cross, composed of beautiful white flow CTS, standing upon the open lid. The body had been carefully prepared, and,- considering the disfgurements, had quite natural and pleasant appearance. The handsome blonde hair was neatly parted and smoothly combed back, and except for the bruise upon the1 right cheek, which showed tue. o1aielo heel mark of her murderer, the face .I4assof a sleeping girl of eighteen: ] tlToH ,D'r

 Professor Walker, principal of ithe academy, spoke very y!beautifully of, his personal knowledge of the deceased as pupil and friend. Her amiabiity' of disposition endeared her to all her school associates, while her inten nectual abilities gave her 8 high standing among his scholars. The students of the institu- tion and himself mingled their tears with those of the mournersand extended their deepest sympathies to all.
 Rev. MT. Dorr then opened morning newspaper and read from it tribute paid to the worth and lovehness of the deceased. The choir then j. sang the hymn, "Thy will be done," after which Rev. MT. Dorr closed with brief prayef and the benediction.
 During the solemn services theEsob- pings of the family were often heard and tears were seen on many faces. Only a small portion of those present could hear the exercises, but all others testified their respect by remaining quietly out side during their progress. The audi ence was greatly affected and a spirit of vengeance seemed to possess them. Re cognizing this, the minister prayed for light to seek out the real author of this crime. This feeling bodes no good, and if the evidence; should become strong against any one person nothing but the bars and the granite walls of the State prison would secure bim from the fury of the populace. i,, sI o,.. ,s. tSI
