EXTRAORDINARY SCENES At THE Fu-
NERAL OF A MURDERED CHILD .
AT PocAssEr, MASSACHUSETTS.
Special Telegram, May 5th, to the Chicago Times.
To.day's developments are GER
tainly Of a sufficiently startling char:
acter to make a chapter second most
appropriate to be linked to the first
installment Of this revolving tale Of
fanatical butchery. According to
the belief of the Adventists, the body
Of the murdered. child was to be
raised up to health again at the end
of the third day, which was at three
O'Clock this morning. OF course, as
all but the fanaticalA dventists knew,
no such thing occurred, and prepar.
atoms were accordingly made for
the burial. The services were an.
nounced for 1:30 p. M, in the little
Methodist church which sits upon
hill and commands charming and
widespread view Of the surrounding
country and the waters Of Buzzard's
bay. Long previous to the hour
named the country people focked to
the church. The services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Mr.. Williams,
pastor of the church. assisted by the
Baptist clergyman. At the close Of
the impressive services one of the
leaders of the Adventists attempted
to make speech, but was stopped
by the minister. The body was ia.
ken to the grave in the rear Of the
church, and there an Adventist
named Davis made long and bitter
harangue, defending the murderer in
his fiendish deed and expounding his
peculiar views. He was requested
to stop by one Of the selectmen and
by the clergymen, who asked him to
desist out Of respect to the dead and
to the cause Of Christ. He refused
and the crowd grew indignant and
closed up around him, crying,
"Choke him. - ''Bury him in Il e
grave.'' etc. Freeman's brother,
who was present, cried to him, ''For
Gods sake, stop and let us bury the
dead.' The fanatic closed by Civ
ing notice Of ga camp.meeting to be
held here June Is to June 90, and
inviting all the denominations to
send your champion men to ''Be
murdered" interrupted the crowd.
The assembly finally dispersed, after
being driven from the churchyard.
Public excitement has been raised
to white heat by these horrible
proceedings. The announcement OF
the arrest of these fanatics was a
little premature. They are unde,
the surveillance of the officers pend.
ing the arrival of instructions from
the attorny general. A watch
is being kept over the grave tonight,
as it is thought an attempt will be
made to carry away the body, sc
that the Adventists will claim that
it was translated to heaven. Furth

The Germans are especially care.
full in the matter of ventilation.
They consider, and it is no doubt
correct, that milk possesses a great
power of absorption. Foul gases or
smells admitted to the dairy are
speedily absorbed by the milk, which,
once imperceptibly tanned in this
manner, will never make first class
butter. Our own forefathers were
aware Of this, and took precautions
to avoid it; one was the planting Of
bushes, and if we remember rightly,
more particularly the common elder,
a short distance in front Of the dairy
window (Which they preferred to
face north or east), with the object,
as it were, of straining the air before
it gained entrance to the dairy. Of
recent years, since the physiology Of
plants has been scientifically explor-
ed, some confirmation of this ida is
apparently afforded by the fact that
trees and shrubs inhale gases, some
in so marked manner as to prevent
malaria and fever,

How Big Estate Was Divided by Lot.

MENTION was made yesterday of the
lottery scheme for the partition of lands
between heirs, and it was supposed
that the division of the Bailey estate
was made in this way for the first time
in this State. It appears, however,
that one of the largest estates in Mis-
souri, was partitioned in 1864, under
the direction of Mr.. Britton A. Hill,
counselor for the estate of Peter Lin
dell, the real estate whereof was valued
at about 100000 There were ten
heirs, each one being entitled to one
tenth of the whole estate. BY virtue
of contract executed for that purpose
between the heirs the city and country
lots, comprising the whole estate, were
accurately surveyed, numbered and
plated by William H. Cozzens, Esq,
and each lot was appraised by Commits
sioners Charles K. Dickson, James 7.
Sweringen and Charles II. Peck. They
then divided the lots into ten equal
shares, and each share was bound witt,
its plats, and streets, and descriptive
calls. On the day of the allotment, in
1864, the heirs met in the unfinished
room in the second story at the south
east corner of the first Lindell Hotel.
The ten numbers of the shares were
written on the respective shares from
one to ten by the counselor, the ten
numbers were written on ten square
pieces of paper and placed in a hat; the
names of the ten heirs were written on
ten other square pieces Of paper and
placed in another hat. Neither one Of
the heirs knew the contents Of either
one of the bound volumes containing
the several shares. When all was
ready, q crippled boy beggar, passing
on Washington avenue, was called in,
hlindfolded under protest, and directed
to draw one paper from each hat. thus
designating the name Of the heir and
the number of the share, and to con-
hnue until the drawing of lots was COM
pleted. The blindtolded boy was re-
leased, and bright tears glistened in his
eyes as ten golden half-eagles were
dropped into his hand, and he was told
that he had completed the division Of
the great Linden estate to the satisfac-
ton Of all the heirs then present. ST.
