FUNERALS IN 1T76.-Funerals touched
weddings at the point Of feasting, and were
often expensive, snowy, and pompous occa-
sions. In some parts of the country, espe-
cially among the Dutch OF Long Island and
New York, 1t was the custom for a young
man to lay by his earnings after coming OF
age.until a sufficient sum had accumulated
to provide for him respectable" funeral
when he should come to die. Ofteuttmes the
young burgher would reserve half OF the por-
ton of wine which he had literally laid in
for his marriage, to be used at the funeral OF
himself or his wife. Special invitations were
sent out for funerals as for parties. The cler-
gynlen, pall-besrers, and physicians attend
ing, were provided with scarfs and gloves,
and sometimes each with q mourning ring;
while the feast which followed the inter
ment, at the house Of the relatives OF the de-
ceased, elaborate with cold roast meats,
wines, liquors, and pipes, was not unfre-
quently an occasion of coarse excuses, some
times descending INTO hilarious and noisy
demonstrations. A respectable" funeral OF
this description might cost perhaps 81 200
while the funeral of the first wife of the Hon
Stephen Van Rensselaer, is said to have cost
not less than Sc, 0oo.-I I'd Ddrd Ab6ett's "Rev-

THE CATALOGUE.

CRAzED IN AREvIvAL.-Thirty years ago,
William Fair, prominent citizen OF Indiana
county, Pa, attended q revival meeting held
in the manner of the Primitive Methodists
BE became a religious enthusiast, and, i'm
agining that he had committed "the unpar-
donable sin, lost his reason, and passed his
entire time In praying and singing. He be-
lieved his wife and family prevented his
obtaining pardon for his sins, and became so
violent toward them that 1t was found neces-
sary TO place him under restraint. A room
was fttet up with stout oaken bars at the
doors and windows, and he was imprisoned
therein. The skill OF the best physicians has
failed to restore his mind, and he has re-
NAMED In confinement since 1Si5. His cell
is as comfortable as IL can be made, and he
has every attention. For 80 years he has
occupied every hour in the day with lamenta-
tion over his lost soul, in piteous appeals to
God for pardon, and In singing re vival hymns
unknown to church goers OF to-day. By
pacing up and down the floor of the room,
and by constant kneeling In particular spots.
he has worn great hollows in the boards,
which Ii has been necessary TO renew several
times. The unfortunate man IL over so years
old. he il tall and apparently in the best OF
physical health. His hair and beard are OF
extraordinary length. He keeps his person
and apartment neat and clean, bat allows
no one to approach him. He will not engage
in conversation, his whole attention being
given to his iDcessant devotions.
