TALMAGE's "BIG BLUNDERS. :"

night at the Church of the Disciples Madison ave.

rg,e Funeral Of the late Cormin NJ.
WILSON.

rg.e Funeral. of the late orwin NJ.
Alta o'clock Sunday afternoon the remains
of the late Corwin NJ. Wilson were borne
to their last resting place, followed by one
of the largest funeral professions ever seen
in this town.. An impressive funeral SER
mon was delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Phelps
at the Presbyterian Church, after which
the body was conveyed to the cemetery,
where other appropriate religious services
were held. The funeral cortege was pre-
ceded by the Ruby Hill brass band, play
ing a solemn dirge. Then came the two
military companies and four fire compa-
MES, followed by the hearse, members OF
the Rescue Hose Company, of which
deceased was a member, acting as
pail bearers. The relatives and inn
mediate friends of tho deceased
came next, and the balance of the sol
emn procession was made up of a long
line Of carriages and citizens on horseback.
1t seemed as though every available vehicle
in town had been pressed into service, and
the line was estimated to be three-quarters
of a mile long. This o%utpouring OF the
people of Eureka and vicinity to pay the
last sad tribute Of respect to the departed
demonstrated more forcibly than any Ian
guage of ours can depict, the high esteem
and appreciation in which poor Cor. was
held by this community. He was a man
of unblemished character and the noblest
impulses. None knew him but to respect
him. The liveliest sympathy of this entire
community goes out to his stricken rela-
tives both here and in the East. May the
sod press lightly on bis grave.

IN TEEE WRONG BED.
What Happened to "a Temperance
lecturer On Sunday Night.

Among the gentlemen who took part in
the proceedings at the temperance meeting
on Sunday night, was a well-known Main
street merchant, whose fervor and elo-
quence carried conviction to the hearts of
old topers, and caused rise in temperance
stock. Immediately after the meeting adj
journed. he proceeded homeward, but for
some cause managed to get into the wrong
house, and found his way into another
mans bed, in blissfal ignorance Of the
fact that he was not in his own domlcile.
The gentleman whose couch he had APP
propriated happened to be a personal
friend, and, upon arriving home, he natur-
ally concluded that he fully understood the
true state Of affairs, and having been

bed-fellow, and armed in without awaken

The pitcher, however, was not in its usual
place: his wash-staud had u"naccountably
disappeared, and he encountered a wall
where he expected to find d door. Thor
oughly bewildered, he again sought the
bed, and was d~umbfounded to tind that it
had been turned around and in pos
session of another party. That was too
much for his overburdened feelings, and he
gave vent to them in language more forci-
bic than elegant, and awakened the sleeper.
