Burial of the Victims.

MERIDEN, Conn, August 1.-THE
funeral of 25 of those killed by the tor
nado in Wallingford took place to-day.
Ten thousand people were present and
fully 1900 carriages. The services were
conducted by Rev. Father Leo, of Win
stead, assisted by three other Catholic
clergymen. The jam was immense and
the scene one of great sadness. The GEM
etery was surrounded by a local COM
pany, the National Guards and 120 spe-
cial officers. The interments were
made in fifteen graves. All the dead,
except Frederick Littlewood, were OF
the Catholic religion, and the diocese
will take prompt measures to aid the
sufft ring survivors, relatives. People
of all denominations are contributing
generously.
Several persons badly wounded re-
main in the Town Hall, of whom Rich
ard Taylor, with his back broken, John
Littlewood, conclusion of the brain,

One of the Attractions Of the Paris
Exposition.

The full story of the wonderful suit"
of hair, seven feet long, shown at the
Paris Exposition, is thus told by a cor
respondent: "The hair originally
graced the head of a young Norman girl
belonging to family named Merlot,
who were extremely poor, the mother
having been sick for several years. A
peddler knew the family, and, being
acquainted with their poverty, took ad-
vantage of their circumstances to offer
100 francs (about S19) for the daughters
superb hair. The poor woman, to
whom the girls locks were her only
pride, absolutely refused to part with
them. The daughter, however, who,
though scarcely II years of age, under
stood the great benefit of even that sum,
made a sign to the peddler. Apparent
ly giving up the idea, the would-be
merchant retired. The young girl fol-
lowed him, and, though unable to re-
strain her tears at the sacrifice, permit
ted the peddler to shear her crown of
glory to the roots for $40. The hair
dresser now possessing this beautiful
hair has already refused $500 francs
from lady of title, being confident Of
obtaining a much higher price for it al
ter the Exhibition.

A Constantinople correspondent of
the Paris UnirerS states that few years
ago the body OF a young girl of a rich
Greek family in that city was Inferred
in the Greek cemetery dressed in rich
silks and satins, with all her jewels,
which were of great value. A few
months afterward the body was ex-
humed for deposit in family vault
which had been purchased, and was
found entirely stripped of her clothing
and jewels. The police discovered the
thieves. the principal of whom was the
Greek Bishop who had oiliciated at the
funeral. The Patriarch degraded him
from his bishopric, but last year he was
reinstated and obtained diocese.

A power irresistible carried the build
ing, twisted into fragments, flying
through the air. Mrs. Mooney was
caught up and hurled along through
branches of trees, and over telegraph
wire, beyond the railroad, across two
lanes, distance of nearly quarter of
mile, when she was flung down, bat
tered, gashed, and bloody. The boys
were blown through windows along
with bricks, pots, and pans. Michael
was carried into the branches of pros
trated apple-tree. Daniel was whirled
away on the gale $50 yards, where he
was flung down so violently as to have
his arm broken, while his face was a
mass of livid blue spots and deep
scratches.
The wind swept on, taking every
thing in its way. High Street and Wal
lace Row intersect Colony Street, and
lead up over the hill toward Main
street. On these streets were cabins
and few neat new dwellings, and
about them gardens thriving and well
