AS the procession left the Cathedral precincts the
saluting battery on Punchbowl commenced firing
minute guns. Heavy showers fell as the process
sion moved up the valley road, and whilst the
vices at the grave were going on. At the concu-
sion of the services many friends crowded round
the grave to take II last look, three voeys

A TELEPHONE message was received in
town on Saturday last announcing the death
of the Chancellor. From the precarious state
of health in which Mrs. C. G. Harris has been
for several weeks it was first believed that the
announcement referred to her. The Chanccl-
lor himself has been for some years past in
such condition that his symptoms gave Sc
rious anxiety to his friends, but so sudden an
end came as an unexpected blow. 1t was
hoped that his health might be renovated by
a tour III Europe, which was accordingly I'M
dertaken, but without notable improvement.
Lattery tie condition of Mrs Harris and
the cares of his Office told upon his strength,
though he was driven into town and trans
acted business on the day before his DEATH
On Saturday Mr.. Harris was unable to at
tend at the breakfast table and appeared rest
less and uneasy lie rose however as usual,
but kept moving about from chair to sofa, to
his hammock, and finally lay down dressed
on his bed. Though still striving against i'll
ness and seemingly cheerful in conversation,
he complained of severe pain at the back OF
the neck and across the chest and of chilli
ness of the extremities. The symptoms
alarmed Miss Harris and Mrs.. A Hen who sent
message for DR.. McGrew ;'though Mr.. Harris
had said that there no occasion for doing
so, attributng his suffering to indigestion
Meanwhile such means were resorted to, as
were available
On the arrival of the Doctor he approved of
what had been done, administered medicine.
left instructions tina. the patient be kept
quiet and warm and returned to town.
Presently Mr.. Harris asked if it were or
dered that his feet be kept warm, and was
answered in the affirmative, for said he, "they
are very cold. Hot water bottles had been
already applied he still conversed with Col.
and Mrs. Allen in cheerful manner when
suddenly with three short gasps he expired
at about $3.50 NJ.
The sudden death of man so prominent in
judicial, political and social circles causes a
great gap which cannot READILY be flied. A
man OF great determination. when he took mp
an opinion it was difficult to shake it, Often
times he came into collision with the ideas and
and his was Il long and even;ful public career,
but all parties will agree in regrerting the loss
of so strong and able public officer.
By the death nf Mr.. Harris the Anglican
church in this Kingdom loses a firm friend,
n judicions adviser, a most muniiiccnt and
generous supporter.
