his friends have greater cause to love
him than ever. Who but a magnan'

following as preliminary to moving
that the nomination Of his opponent be

The Sabbath School of which the deceased had always been a scholar. high ly esteemed, always punctual and studious. and one upon whom the school ever relied for service of song cheerfully and beautifully rem dered, walked in procession, two by two, ID front of the remains from the house to the cemetery, each wearing crape upon the left arm and holding an offering of flowers and evergreens in their hands. On entering the graveyard the scholars opened to the right and left, and the bearers and mourners passed through. Then the school closed in and fol- lowed to the grave. After the coffin was low. cred to it's final resting place, the school pass- ed and gently deposited their boquets upon the lid of the coffin literally covering it with flow

The scene was particularly exciting from the fact that on one side of the burning building, only some fifty feet distant, stood the extensive and very valuable movement shop, with smaller buildings; and on the other side, at less dis tance, the fine large two story houses known as Cotton Row." But for the nearness and abundance of water, the activity of many persons in handling it, and the bravery and perseverance of number of individuals who risked their lives by occupying exposed posi- tions, the movement factory must have suc- cumbed to the flames, and at least one et the Cotton Row buildings, and certainly all of the latter, unless assistance had arrived from abroad. Indeed, had there been much wind, or had the factory roof been of wood instead of iron, that edfice would have been destroy ed before help could have arrived to save it. Many workmen would thus have been thrown out of employment, at particularly bad time for such an event to take place.
