THE LAST SAD SERvICEs-The funeral services
of the late DR.. G. j. Ceiger, who died so suddenly
on last Thursday morning, occurred on Sunday
afternoon. A large assemblage of sad and sym

ceeded thence to the German Reform Church, of
which the deceased had been long and consist
ent member, where TIE customary services we're
held. Rev. Peter Herbruck opened the solemn
services by delivering an appropriate sermon in
German, and Rev. L. N. Kuhns afterwards deliv

vices a large procession of vehicles followed the
remains of the deceased to the cemetery where
they were laid In the last place of their earthly
repose. Samuel Slower, Jacob Kienzle, George
Cook, Martin Wikidal, Isaac Harter, Lawrence

him in an unsOught position of honorable promi-

the undivided sympathy of the community, and
prayers have ascended from many saddened
hearts, that found in him benign source of So
