citizen of this place, aged SO years,
died last Saturday. after a lingering
illness, which he bore with unmur-
muring patience, leaving wife and
two children. We understand from
those who were with the deceased in
the later hours of his life, that he pro-
fessed change in his spiritual con-
dition and gave evidence of his read
mess for death. The funeral SER
vices took place yesterday afternoon,
at the Episcopal church, it being his
request before death that the Rev.
Dallas Tucker should officiate at his
funeral. His remains were escorted
to the church, and from thence to
the vault in which they were depos-
tied, by the Odd Fellows and Fire
Department, he being a member of

per's Ferry, and charter member

The vocal and instrumental music
called forth a good deal of well mer-

their rendition of their several pieces
did themselves, as we'll as their in

feature of the occasion was Mr.. Pen
dleton's recitations. Mr.. Pendle-
ton has certainly much talent as a
declaimer, and in both his selections
and manner of delivery was most
happy. "Helen's Babies created
much laughter, while such pieces as
"Me' Lady, and H. W. Grady's
late speech.in Boston produceda felt
silence" and brought tears to the
eyes of many present. Altogether it
was a most enjoyable occasion, and
we were glad to have been there.
