Funeral of O. F. Winchester.


 The funeral of the late ex-Lieutenant Gov. ernor o. F. Winchester took place yesterday morning at II o'clock from the residence on Prospect street. The house was thronged with mourning and sympathizing friends, among whom were many gentlemen and la dies filling influential and important places in the community, insociety, business, itera- ture and the sciences and 8 number o1 mourning friends from Baltimore New York and other places. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Gallaher, of Brooklyn, N. Y., ex-pastor of Calvary Bap- tist church, and the present pastor, Rev. MT. Samson. The floral emblems were many and beautiful, particularly one which bore the loving word Father" pillow richly stud ded with the choicest flowers. The casket was very elegant. It bore simple plate with the inscription t'Oliver Fisher Winchester Died Dec. 10th, 1880, aged 70 years and 10 days fine quartette, consisting of Messrs. Bis sell, Corbin, Manross and G. M. Bush, sang several selections. Dr. Gallaher read from Holy Writ, and prayer was offered by Mr. Samson. Dr. Gallaher followed with re- marks of rare beauty, fitness and pathos-a beautiful tribute to the solemn occasion The pastor was himself deeply affected as he spoke of his departed friend He ssaid that the brightening which dispels the grim shad ows of the grave was seen through the cross, and spoke of the Christian hope, and through that transfguring saw not the grave or the habiliments of death on the present occasion, but the passage of the soul of man strong and powerful in planning and executing, generous patron, noble giver, who died sus- tained by sweet, peaceful trust in Calvary. He once, when passing through the Pere le Chaise cemetery in Paris, read upon one of the monuments: i've laid down here our treasure and our hope" There was told the story< of a touching grief, On another was tribute which told that the shadow of the death angel had passed, but that its gloom was dispelled by the glory which the light of Calvary had shed on a trusting soul, and this was the case with the brother to whose memory the last sad trib- ute was now offered. He was gone, but his would be warmly cherished by many a heart.
 The last look was taken by many in the \ at the close of the service The bearers were Messrs E. E. Hall, J. A. Bish- op, N. D. Sperry, s. M. Wier, Victor A. King and Profs. Lyman and Wayland of this city, and ". H. Brown of the firm of Brown Brothers of Waterbury. Employees viewed he remains of their employer during the lay. The manufactory was closed.
