The funeral of John Muntzenberger, who
died on Thursday afternoon last week, took
place at the residence Of his father, Mr..
Conrad Muntzenberger, on Saturday last,
and was very largely attended, and by the
more prominent people of the town. The
deceased was 1S years of age, graduate
from our public schools, active, competent,
so much so as to be the bookkeeper and
cashier in the Muntzenberger Bre very cstab-
lishment. He was the pet of the family and
his loss is severe and almost insufferable. he
was great sufferer during his last illness,
and his friends almost prayed at times that
be might be relieved in death. He was an
unusually bright boy, promising in every
thing that fond parents and loving friends
could wish. As in the case Of young Ezra
Simmons, oil we can say is, +" Whom the
gods love die young" Johnny has gone to
his rest. Let US all so live that we may
see the bright-eyed. fair-hairsd Johnny
Muntzenberger in that better land beyond
the river, where " the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest"
OF the strangers from abroad who attended
the funeral of young Muntzenberger on Sat
urday last were from Chicago Mr.. and Mrs
Peter Funck, G. Bullen, Philip Bartholoma'
and NJ. Brand. From Milwaukee, Mr.. ant
Mrs. Uchlein and Mrs. A. Schmidt. From
Racine, Messrs. J.. Lackner and Henr,
Shedding, Mrs. F. Heck and daughter, ant
Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy. From Vienna, Wis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zahn, and number of other
from different points whose names we ar

The following from the New York

1t is believed that lumber is to ad-

informs us that this is the first March he
has ever known when the price did not
decline, as it is always dull month for

lowing from the Chicago Tribune of
Thursday last that prices have advanced:
The yard lumber dealers met yesterday to

Mahone is sal to be somewhat eE-
Terminate in his general style, and this
impression is heightened by what a cor
respondent terms "the rather womanish
effect of his get-up," which embraces a
pair of frilled cuffs, peerIng from the
sleeves of brown broadclolh coat, cut
close to the figure, and fitting in the
waist like dress over tight corset,
while the skirt is ample, and gathered
at the hips. These harmless idiosyncra-
cies, however, instead of mitigating,
rather tend to augment, the feeling of
terror which the Virginia senator has
inspired in the breast of Ben Hill, whose
recent experience with Jessie Raymond
and Belva Lockwood, has rendered him
morbIdly susceptible TO even a sugges-
ton of the feminine toilet.

The Leavenworth Times says that the
question as to whether or not there shall
be an extra session Of the legislature is
agitating the state, and thinks if the
matter were - be submitted to Il vote of
the people, the proposition would be
most assuredly defeated. We are not so
confident on this point. The chief OBJ
ject of an extra session, as We under
stand il, would be to consider the ques-
ton of apportionment for new congress-
ional districts, and as nine out of every
ten voters in the state are manifesting
symptoms of palpitating interest on
that score, we are disposed to question
the accuracy of Colonel Dams views in
regard TO this matter. This fine wealth
err is bringing out the buds on mighty
host Of embryonic congressman through

New York Tribune: The Democrats
profess To have great horror for Senator
Mahone's past and are unable to say
anything too bad about it. But they are
not half so much troubled about his past
as they are about his future. That is
the real cause of their anxiety If he
leads successful revolt against Bour-
bonism in the South, they know it will
be an end TO them forever, for without a
Solid South they have no hope. Even
the splitting Of Virginia would be fatal.
This is the real secret of the present
Democratic woe.
