Funeral of cora v. Robbins.

The funeral of Cora V. Robbins was at
tended from the family residence on Satur-
day afternoon. Rev. J. G. johnson, pastor
of the Congregational church, conducting
the religious exercises The exercises were
commenced by the reading of beautiful and
appropriate selections of Scripture, after
which the hymn,
Jesus, Lover OF my Soul,
was sung by quartette composed of
Dlessrs. John p. Pease, Henry Bailey, and
Misses Clara Ruggles and Ella Olmstead.
A brief address was delivered by Rev.
MIR. johnson, touching upon the inadequa-
cy of human words to pour consolation
into the mourning heart in the hour of be-
find its only true source of alienation in q
dependence upon the promises of God, and
a trust in his all absorbing love. The truths
of the gospel were rich in their power to
heal the wounded spirit and lead sorrowing
ones to look up amid their tears to that
love which the father extends to all. The
love of the father, and the duty of looking
to him in the hour of trouble and bereave-
ment, were simply and tenderly elaborated
in the concluding words of the address. A
touching and tender prayer was them
offered, after which the quartet rendered
the hymn
"Thy Will be done"
The exercises were concluded with the
benediction.
An opportunity was given to the friends
present to take farewell look at the re-
mains, when they were removed TO West
street cemetery, and deposited in the re-
ceving vault until they shall be finally in
tered in Evergreen cemetery. There were
several finely wrought and chaste floral Of
ferings npon the casket, expressive of the
thoughtful regard of friends who had con-
tributed them.
The death OF this young lady has drawn
out the strong sympathy of all who knew
her, and appreciated the many fine traits
of character she possessed. Much feeling
was manifested by her associates of the
grammar school at the announcement of
her DEATH She was among the foremost
scholars in her classes, and was highly
esteemed by her teachers She was also
member of the Sabbath school class Of Mrs.
John A. Mead of the Congregational
church, whose members testified their re-
gard by attendance at her funeral, bringing
floral tributes to lay upon her casket as
testimonial of their love. From the loving
home there has been taken a household
idol, creating q void thas none can fill.
The tenderness of parent and child have
been beautifully exemplified in her last
hours, in the weary watching and the con-
slant attendance of her father at her bed
side, endeavoring to assuage the suffering
and smooth the dying pillow of his devoted
child. These last sad offices have proved
to much for his physical endurance, and
we regret to learn of his prostration and
illness, which, it is to be hoped, may not
be of serious nature. The mother is
bowed down under the load of double
affection, in the death and burial of a kind
father, and a loving and dutiful daughter,
to whom she was unable to minister with a
mothers love, because of i'll health. To
these friends of earlier and later years we
tender onr heartfelt sympathy, in which
their large circle of friends most sincerely
| unite with lis
