and the cortege was one of the most
imposing seen in the city for some
years. .,..
The floral offerings were of the most
elaborate description, and very numer-

at first given currency that MIR. NC
Cullagh had committed suicide, he re-
piled: 49,,
"Suicide! Nonsense! If ever there
was brave, self-enduring selt-punlSh-
inp man on earth it was Joseph b.
McCullagh. If he had resolved to take
his own life, he would have left behind
him perfect explanation OF his deed
In all the years of my intimacy with

clear that his death was the result OF
an accident if the fall killed him l

A synek jedYnak by4 trzeci;

Przystojnie odziany,
Zwyczajnie, jak bywa syn kmiecl.
