during the night past, Judge Packer had
passed to chat bourne from whence no trav.

those who had known Judge Packer during

for Tuesday afternoon and notwithstanding
the efforts made to avoid display or osten-
tation, the streets of Mauch Chunk began to
be thronged with people, and it is safe to es
innate that at the time of the interment
there were not less than 5000 visitors
here, including Gen. Robt, Patterson, ex-
Gov. Hartrantf E. N. Potter D. D, President
Of Union College; G. W. Childs, Of tho Phil

menced business life as clerk for Judge
Packer in Mauch Chunk nearly all the
railroad mognates and coal operators of New
York and Philadelphia; the faculty and
students of Lchgh University, and distin-
gushed men from various parts Of the State.
