80 much unseltish labor.
All the people of our commonwealth will cher
ish the memory of his noble nature and generous
1Eent civil and military services, his magnani-

zens.

veneration, do designate and appoint the fol-
lowing citizens of the state to attend the funeral
ceremonies: John S. Pillsbury, James Gitan.
William Lochren, Thomas Wilson, William
Dawson, G. 8. Ives Z. T. Champlin and E. NJ.

AS a further manifestation of the sorrow felt
by all, and as a mark OF respect, direct that
on the day appointed for the funeral all state
offices be closed To public business: that the ma
tional flag be displayed at halfmast OH the cap
itol until sundoWn: and further direct that the
