the band at the larger end, while the choir
was stationed nearthe point, and the fam.
lily Of the deceased stood at the head of
the grave, close to the veiled monument.
The exercises were opened by a sacred
medley from the band, followed by a
beautiful anthem by the choir, after which
Sovereign A ID. Boyle, read beautiful
ode to the'deceased aud beloved sovereign,
Mr.. Thomas.
Then, with approximate ritual exercises
the vail was lifted from the monument,
