FUNERAL OF HENRY B. BosTWICK.

The funeral services of the late Henry B.
Bostwick were conducted in the Episcopal
church yesterday afternoon at the hour
appointed, by the rector of the church, the
Rev. Mr. Foote. The church was well filed
with the friends and acquaintance of the
deceased The chief mourners were Dir. and
Mrs Driesbach, with wohm Mr. Bostwick
had for many years made his home, Mn Yer
ington, Mr. Hutchinson, Capt. Haynie and
Mr.. Charles Osborne of Virginia, all intimate
friends, together with the pail bearers Messrs.
Helm, Frazer, King, Pinckney, Crawford and
Rail. The beautiful burial service Of the
Episcopal church was made exceedingly inn
pressive by the calm and earnest reading of
the rector and by the touching rendition of
the choir, consisting of Mrs Bender, Misses
Spence and Hodgkinson and Messrs. Laugh
ton, Mason and Scoville, of chant from the
Seth and goth Psalms, of the 620th Hymn,
beginning with the words, Far from my
heavenly home" etc; and of second chant
commencing heard voice from heaven.
Loving hands had prepared beautiful wreath
and cross Of pure white flowers, which were
laid upon the casket. These were emblem

wick in lis life had been such a sincere and
devout follower, and of the wreath of glory
which will be his reward in the world to come.
Bouquets of flowers we're also placed within
the casket upon his breast and pillow. Mr..
Bostwicks face seemed almost as natural as
in life and appeared as If he had gently
fallen iuto calm slumber. No traces were
there of the terrible death struggle which he
had so recently had with the pitiless waters
of Lake Tahoe. A large procession followed
the remains to the cemetery, and thus has
ended the life of man for whom it is the
highest praise that can be said: He was in
life beyond reproach

traversed the gallery, and came down into
the corridor, moving directly to the scsffodl,
with the witnesses following.
As Fletcher approached the gallows he
gave 1t little heed, apparently, but listened,
with hands crossed, sttentiveiy to the words
and prayers of his spiritual advisors. At
10 80 he mounted the steps, cll ging TO the

nor bravado. He was dressed in black,

School.

As the time is soon coming when the annual
school meetings will be held in every district in
the state wish to offer few suggestions to those
who contemplate building new schools. One
very important object is to have all the seats
face The north In this way the points of COM
pass will always be right to those who study
geography. 1t is also desirable to have the house
on the north side of the road so that the entrance
may be ON the warm, sunny side. Then would
build for a school of twenty-five or thirty, about
twenty weight by thirty-eight or thirty by forty
feet, with not less than twelve feet posts in the
clear Then partition off about ten feet for entry
and wood room, which might be in each end of the
entry. Have one outside and two inside doors.
Set the stove in the end next to entry, leaving
room for pupils to warm before taking seats. In
one corner of schoo-room put hooks for girls hats
and cloaks. In the other the same for boys. In
stead of common benches put in seats of the most
approved pattern that be screwed to the floor,
and of sizes to meet the different ages of the
pupils.
The teachers desk should be only table with
lock drawer Let the whole north end Of the
room be sheathed or plastered, with no windows
in that end A side-seat across that end for reel
tations Let the stoyepipe enter the chimney in
the schoo-room, as far above the heads Of schol-
airs as possible Put ventilatoI in the chimney
that may be controlled by the teacher Do not
have the windows nearer than three and a hall
feet from the floor. Have yard around the
building large enough for playing, with the nece-
ssary outbuildngs where common sense and de-
oencB would suggest. People who pride them
selves on bringing up their children In refined

MeSsrS Editors This usually quiet commu-
nifty was greatly excited to-day, about nine o'clock,
A. NJ, by the cry of "a bear! bearl" and sure
enough there was Bruin right in our midst In
started on the track. 1t was very exciting
chase; sometimes we would get in sight of the
bear, then again we would lose him; the
chase continued all day until ten o'clock, =. NJ,
when the weared hunters came to an old cabin
some lumber men had used, and concluded to
stay there the remainder of the night At the
first peep of day away went the hunters again
They found the bear, like themselves, had been
weary and had lain down to rest within twenty
five rods of the cabin, and with renewed yigor
the hunters and the hunted started. Aiteranother
exciting chase of six hours, the hunted was
brought to n dead halt by well aimed shot from
one of the hunters. The excitement Of the chase
being ended there arose dispute among the
hunters what to call tho animal they had cap
tured; some called it bear, some called 1t
wolf and some called it a dog. The discussions
were very earnest, each holding tenaciously to
his opinion There have probably twenty-five
men examined the animal since he was killed,
and it is still undecided what he is. We have
sent to IA neighboring town for some old hunters
10 come and decide whether ii Is u bear, wolf or
dog. The animal is black, long shaggy hair,
stands three feet high, body four and n half feet
long, tail four inches long. When it is decided
what kind of an animal this is, will inform

The Hope of the Country.

The political record of the last few days has
made President Hayes the hope of the coun-
try, the leader of new departure. Failure
to understand it has thrown the machine
politicians, and some patriotic men who de-
serve well of the country, into the futile at
titude of men who should attempt to prevent
sunrise. They may raise clouds, but the sun
will rise. Mr. Cameron and some others of
that kidney, seem to imagine that the party
exists for their benefit, and that it is of no
use unless they possess its patronage. The
people take quite different view of it, The
Northern people elected Hayes on the
strength of the pledges in his letter of ac-
ceptance and because they believed he had
the frmness to stand by them. And an ele-
ment of his strength to-day is in the opposi.
ton of the politicians of the Cameron school,
who do not want any reform. Mr.. Cameron
may boast that Pennsylvania, meaning his
set of politicians, can make and unmake
Presidents. Very possibly this is true. Al
the people have to say is that they dom
want any Presidents of Mr. Camerons max
ing. A party that exists merely to maxi
that kind of President has outlived its use
fulness. And while Mr. Cameron-and w
may have to use his name as the type of
class of polticians-now puts himself in op
position to the reforming administration, h
may well recall the day when Lincoln's ad
ministration was strengthened by his invo
untary withdrawal from it.

Editorial Notes.

THE arrival of American fresh beef and
mutton is just now the London food excite
ment. During the second week in February
one million two hundred thousand pounds
arrived in Liverpool from New York. The
quality is good and it is liked.
The Venezuelan government has sus-
pended intercourse with Mr.. Russell, United
States minister to that country, on account
of the publication of letter in which Mr..
Russell charges the Venezuelan authorities
with dishonesty. Mr. Russell is to return to
this country.
Mrs. LIvERMoRE, of the Women's Tenn
perance Union, says "Train up every girl
as If she was sure to be wife, a mother and
housekeeper, and also train her as if she
was sure never to be a wife, mother or
housekeeper. A girl thus trained will be
equal to any emergency"
THE project is preached of developing a
new territory out of the Black Hills country.
II is claimed that there are ten thousand
persons there now engaged in gold digging,
and that in the spring the number will be
increased to fifty thousand. The region has
lately been acquired by treaty from the
Sioux, and a territorial government, it is
thought, will be specially desirable.
DULUTH, at the head of Lake Superior, is
becoming deserted village. The misfor-
tunes of the Northern Pacific railroad struck
a death blow at the ambitious place that was
to become the Venice of the unsalted seas.
Corner lots, no longer at a premium, sell
for what they will bring. A residence that
cost three thousand five hundred dollars in
better days has just been sold for seven
hundred dollars.
JoHN ID. LEE, the head of the Mountain
Meadow massacre, for which he is under
sentence of death, is said TO have written a
full confession of all the facts relating to the
massacre, and naming the persons engaged
in it. His announcement of making this
exposure has caused no little nervousness in
Salt Lake, as it is believed Lee will impli

ton. OF course, if doctors are to decide

Democratic Folly.

The Democratic National Committee wind
up their address with the declaration that
in the hour of Hayes Inauguration the
most infamous conspiracy of all history will
receive its crown" and they add "Let it
not, however, from this be understood that
the fraud to be consummated March 4th will
be silently acquiesced in by the country.
Let no hour pass in which the usurpaton
is forgotten Let agitation be unceasing,
that at every opportunity, the people may
express their adherence at the outrage"
This is loud talk and very foolish talk, but
eminently worthy of those democratic con-
gressional blatherskites vino endeavored to
obstruct the declaration of Hayes election.
Indeed, nothing could, upon retrospect, APP
pear more silly than the conduct of these
few flibnsters during the closing hours of
the last Congress, aud this is the culmina-
ton of their folly and Madness However,
the committee does not seem so anxious to
have the memory of the Oregon fraud per
petuated, but we think it will be remem.
bered quite as long as the sins of the Louis.
lana returning board. 1t was cruel in the
committee to withhold from Grover, Cronin
and Pelton the need of praise they so richly
earned by their efforts to manufacture an
electoral vote for Tilden But posterity
will do them justice.

Gold at Par.

Within a very short time the premium
on gold has gone down something like ten
per cent, without any disastrous effect on
the business movements of the country. A
further reduction of some four and half
per cent, would remove it entirely and bring
our greenback currency to par. We have
heard much of disastrous consequences of a
resumption of specie payments, to those en-
gagged in business. 1t has been said and be-
lieved, by certain people, that bringing
greenbacks to par with gold would seriously
trouble business. If this were so, why has
not the recent downward movement of gold
brought the predicted calamities ? The
truth is, these predictions of financial shocks
and disasters that would be caused by re-
sumption of specie payments, are all works
of Imagination, no more like reality than
the fancies of trembling ghost-seer, Secre-
tary Chase, we believe, was the first who
said "The way to resume specie payments
is TO resume" The difficulties in the way
of resuming have always been more or less
imaginary; but they have had no little in
huence 70 prevent measures for securing re
sumption, and to confuse the public mind
The influence is no longer very potent A
more reasonable view of the situation il
likely to prevail and bring the country Il
specie payments, considerably in advance
of the time fixed by act of Congress.
