Tie body of Colonel Routh Goshen,
Barnun giant, WAS buried on Friday
from his late residence, at ely de, \. J.
The body was enCased in a cloth covered
caske', which wns specially made for the
body. 1t was feet q inches long by 2
feet s inches wide. 1t Was too long To be
taken in the door OF deceased's dwelling,
Sc the remains had to be taken to it while
it lay on the perch. After they had been
so placed the services were held inside
the house. No hearse large enough to
contain the coffin could be had, So the
body WAS conveyed 10 its last resting
place in the Baptist Cemetery on the
shoulders of eight stslwart neighbors.-
The grave measured eight feet by three
feet. The Colonel never bad Il bed made
for himself. but used To lie disgonally
across an ordinary bed. During his Ilness
he was put in sling worked by pulleys
suspended from the ceiling OF his room,
and di ID iu it. After bis death FIVE men
attempted to lower the body, but they let
1t drop on the bedstead The body
smashed the bedstead. II had to be laid

clerk to call the term and so act. Accordingly
M. Turner convened the term en- Mondiy and
laid the statement of his honor before the bar,
who, after consultation among themselves and
an examination of the law in question, reach
ed the unan imous conclusion that the law could
not be construed to give the clerk this aul hor-
Ity without the full consent Of both tn. li'iRan's
in every case. Therefore no business, vas done
and the clerk adjourned the court until next
Monday, when his henor is expected to be in

Apropos of this suhjec, We would state that
on the invitation of Col. Wilmer this commit

with view Of considering its advantages as .
place for holding The next eucsmpmens. We
believe hat this location presents fully all tbs

water; there is ample salt water bathing afford

being fresh and wholesome. The grounds con-
tiguous to the Point are level and well drained
making it desirable both for drilling and tent
ing. Altogether we believe and hope III It the
COMMITTEE will be favorable impressed with
the many superior advantages offered at this
location, that also has the requirement Of bel in 9
