LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The LAST RITEs.-It is seldom that the
reporter of journal can make record of the
funeral of a child which takes on such local
prominence as characterized the obsequies of
little Russie Mills yesterday, whose long
suffering and remarkable mentality had made
his case familiar to SO large circle in this
community. The funeral was the largest, for
child, which memory calls to the mind of
the local writers during years of experience
in Sacramento. Hundreds of warm hearts
were made manifest by an exceedingly large
concourse of men and women who came to
pay that sincere tribute of tender commiser-
alton which every true parent feels when a
child is taken. The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Bentley and Rev. DR..
Dwinel. By the thoughtful sympathy
OF Mrs. Berkey, Mrs. Pearee, Miss Nav
Milliken, Miss Jennie Woods, Goodwin Nc
Nelll and h. ID. Crandall, appropriate music
was given during the funeral exercises. The
casket was enshrined in a myriad of rare
flowers which loving hands had worked into
beautiful designs, speaking of that sincere
sympathy which finds no sufficient language
In words. Indeed, the floral offerings to the
memory of the patient little sufferer have
rarely been equaled in wealth of contribution
or the eXpressIveness of design and arrange
ment. The remains of little Russie were
followed to their last resting place, on a
sunny knoll in the City Cemetery, by long
line of citiZ9ns, whose act betokened their
deep and sincere sympathy for the bereaved
parents.
