Yesterday tho remains OF our friend, the
lamented Andrew Il. Schmitt, were laid away
forever by Borrowing friends. Gut short just al
the opening of career which was rich in promise
OF full fruition, his demise has created deep
feeling OF regret in our commercial community.
Needing recreation from business, on Saturday
last evening, ia the company OF some friends, he
went q short distance up the jackson Railroad on q
hunting expedition. Arriving At Bayou Lacoumbe
the party separated, and as the hour for starting
homeward arrived, Mr.. Schmitt was missing.
After search his lnanmate body was found Ia
the position death had come upon him.
The eortege yesterday WAS OF very impress
sive character. The Continental Guards, with
arms reversed and marching to the solemn notes
OF the Dead March. led the line, followed by the
Germania Lodge of Masons. The new order OF
"Apis Mellifica" came next, and q long line OF
friends.
When the procession reached Claiborne street,
on it's way to the Metairie Cemetery, and adding
much to the impressveness Of the occasion, the
Thirteenth Infantry Band, in dirgeful strains,
played "1n the Sweet BY and By" whilst the
Continentals presented arms to the passing
hesrse.
Taking cars at this point. the organizations
went to the tomb, where. beneath the quiet after
Moons sky, dust was given to dust, and q gener-
GUS man and noble nature passed to the "Sweet
BY and By"

oluding those funded during the Star Chamber
sessions of the Kellogg Funding Board, amount.
cd to s56s,7l9 S. and ii is believed that the issue
Tor 1875 will BIO fully az much II not more.
The minutes Of the Star Chamber Board A.
iuded to fail to give any exact data as to the
amount or series funded, consequently IL il i'm
possible TO ascertain at present how much
THE KELLOGG BOARD FUNDED,
but II Is thought that data can DO secured eufi-
oient TO give an idea Of the amount, which, when
found, will doubtless DO included in the detailed
report now being prepared by the Auditor for the
General Assembly,
Rumor has II that The Governor and The Super
intendent OF Public Education contemplate an ex.
change Of offices, that occupied by the latter
being more suitable for the Executive than the
rooms he now occupies.

Several hundred spor tsmen sought recreation
and diversion on Saturday in excursions to the
suburban hunting and fishing places. The
trains Of last evening brought them all home,
and despite the unfavorable conditions Of the
day, in the prevalent high wind which swept
over the fat surface to which their operations
were confined, We were pleased to discover that
they returned with good bags. In the pisca-
torial line the triumphs were hardly worthy Of
record. That veteran Waltonian, Ballejo, was
the only one who appeared to have achieved any
encouraging results; his string Of bass, caught
