After the singing of the hymn, Nearer my God 10 Thee, the remains were taken to the cemetery, where two more hymns were sung whilst the interment was in progress. After we had seen ali that was mortal of our old time friend laid away we wended our way back to town, and though several days have passed. amoag them the Glorious Fourth, the gloom cast over us by his death has not yet been dispelled.
