lily drnped and proiusely decorated with
flowers, the dome heing frstooned with
roses, boqucts and baskets of flowers, and
wreaths were suspended from the pillars
and gallery. The coffin was placed in
front of An elevated platform, resting on
n modest cataialgue. Two hours before
the opening OF the services the gallery
and about half the body of the building
for the public was crowded, and thou
sands of persons were unable to gain adj
mission to the tabernacle. Ten tiers OF
seats in front of the stand were grouped
by the family and relatives ofthe deccas.
ed prophet, numbering several hundred.
The arrangement was in accordance with
church rules. The stands in front of the
organ were occupied hy the high church
authorities, John W. Young and Dan, II.
Wells, counseors to Brigham, and Brig
ham Young, Jr., and Geo. @, Cannon
were in the upper stand. Ten of the
apostles were next below, and the high
council still lower. The bishops were
on the north platform, and the city conn
Gil on the. south in front. Behind the
family were the quorums Of seventies,
high priests, elders, teachers, deacons
etc. Geo. Q. Cannon was master ofcere
monies, and promptly at noon announced
the beginning with the hymn "fiayk
from Affair."" which was sung by the tab
ernacle choir of 22o voices. An opening
prayer was offered by Apostle Franklin
D. Richards, who thanked Gid that
when he took Joseph Smith he gave n
saint for u leader, Brigham Young, one
Of the noblest and purest of the royal
family OF heaven. 1t was a significant
fact that John w. Young and Brigham
Foung, Jr., both aspimnts for the presi-
dency OF the church, occupied the seats
Ot their father and his councillors. Many
people thought they should have leen
with tue family or with the apostles.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Thc Times belgrade
SPECIAL, dated Sept. cd, says: Scrvia re.
fuses to give assistance to the Bosnian
insurgents. Russia cannot wish to as
sist the Bosnian insurrection. There ex-
lists among the Bosnian Rayans great
annMOsty against Russia.
CoNsrANTlNoPLE, Sept. 3.-The Turks
acknowledge II loss of 1000 men in the
Schipka Pass, and 1000 wounded reach
ed Adrianople yesterday.
ADRIANoPLE, Sept. 3.-Inteligence
received from Schipka Pass states that
Su!ieucn Pasha has gained a more ad.
vantageous position for his baileries on
the heights surrounding Fort Nicholas
Russian reinlorcemcnts arrived during
the night. The road to Gabrova is coin.
mNnded by the Turkish batteries
LONDON, Sept. 3.-It is stated that tho
Grand Duke Michael, commander.in-
chief OF the Russian army in Asia Minor
has assumed command OF General Nell
kotf's corps
Three separate telegraphic accounts
dated Sept. I'd are received descriptive
of the battle on the LON fought hetween
the Turks and the Russians, on Tuesday
Aug. %; from which we condense. Two
of the accounts are Russian and one
Turkish.
Gen, Seonoif commanded the Russians
at KaraZon, aud had some 5000 infantry
500 cavalry and ten guns, another &C.
count calls the Russians Gen. name Leo
notf. The battle commenced by the for.
ward movement Of MeC5ed Pasha, who
commanded the Turkish right, and Fuad
Pasha ana Sabid Pasha, whose divisions
formed the centre and left.
Medjed advanced in gallant style to-
the village of karohassankoi where they
charged with rush over the Russian IN
trcnchments- The slaughter was terrible
among the Turks on the hill but the
Russians were driven precipitately down
the hlIl, commanding the valley of the
LON with great loss meanwhile Sabid
Pasha attacked CAscaciscro Il lofty hill
crowned by II three gun Russian battery
which was with difficulty carried. The
Turks then advanced with the widest
enthusiasm along their whole line shout
ing "alIah !" allah ~
The Russian troops consisted of the
18th corps, reinforced by one regiment
of infantry Of the Both division. They
held their lines until four p. NJ. They
admit loss Of killed and wounded of
at least 500, and estimate the odds
against them, in the b0tte as six to one.
The C2arcoyiich's army is divided in
small masses from Quirgeya to Ticrnovo.
concentration is impossible from want
ot troops aud state OF the roads. Their
loss along this line is estimated a, 5000
killed and wounded.

Published hy Boynton & Wiley. Mr.
Boynton started the Three Oaks Echo,
ut Three Oaks Mich. about the same
time we established the STAR. He has
disposed of his interest in the Echo, and
with his partner has now established the

this place, on the farm now owned by
Judge Haskell He was but u boy then,
but from the energy and ability dis
played since he left here, We judge he
lost nothing while sojougning in the
North west. Success to the hller and

BAY VIEw SETTLEMENT Often had
we passed in view Of this beautiful set.
Element, yet knew naught of it more than
it was a continuation of the Swinomish
tide-tlats, or their northern extension to.
wards the Samish, and that it had re-
ceived its name from the fine view it af-
fordcd Of Patilla Bay. This was our
first visit. A south wind brought
us in skiff to LII Conner from Center
vile, thence to Bay View, with very lie.
tie labor; landing at Whitney & Sissons
warehouse, where grain tbrcshed by tho
steam thresher was being stored. Here
the skiff was lett, and taking the road,
we 'on found ourself at the hospitablc
residence OF sheriff Allen stopping there
for the night, the next day we viewed
the settlement
The leading farmers and business men
OF the settlement are Messrs. Whitney &
Sisson who have upwards of 800 acres
under dixie, W. ii. Trimblc, 80 acres, j.
Highberger, rs acres, G. w. l., Allen,.
65 and Ball & Smith, 100 acres, there
being over 600 acres under dixie, and.
about 525 acres in grain.
The spring sown grain will yield not
far from 80 bushels to the acre, some
much more, some less;while the fall sown
oats etc, WAS fed upon by crows etc,
which pulled up and destroyed so much
OF the growing grain, that when spring
came, it was SO spaTce that the weeds
choked it out so that it only yielded
about 40 Bushels to the acre, not over
half crop. The steam thresher WAS
busy at work threshing field of barley.
They had cleaned up some 1000 bushels,
and had not threshed over one half OF
the 40 acre field they were at work upon.
This settlement has many advantages
not possessed by many other tide marsh
settlements. The whole tract is Under
pdike, and the dwellings are built upon
the high land, overlooking the flats as
well as the bay beyond.
This also is the natural outlet to a
tract of open marsh containing several
thousand acres, in back Of them to which
they have cut road. They are seven
miles distant from La Conner, and the
flats between these two places are all
capable Of being diked and cultivated.
Their yield Of grain this year will be
some $4,000 bushels or upwards. 1t is
expected that M Whitney may put in a
stock of goods, while there is hopes Of a
portable steam saw mill, as there is
enough local business tor both to sue
Ceed. Besides those we have already
enumerated, J. S. Kelly of Wildly is-
hind is there renting ground. and our
friend, E. s Jones, formerly OF this place
has secured very fine tide marsh claim.
