Boleuia aad liupreaalve Hue a.
Lockpobt, Jan. 14. This morning, as the

leading to Covodeville, which wound around

horseback going to pay their last homage to
one whom they had stood by in a dozen po
litical battles. '
The Congressional Committee arrived

was just going to speak, and but few dry eyes

nON. JOHN covorK.
Died January 11, IsTl.
Aged 02 years.
The services were opened by singing the
well-known hymn "Itock of Ages." A fer
vent prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Boyle,
of Fairfield, and Rev. Mr. Walker then
preached a short sermon on the dispensa
tions of Providence spoken to us in our
daily life, and besought his hearers to follow
the Divine injunction and watch, for they
know not at what hour the bridegroom
cometh; for, as the Scripture was written
hundreds of years ago, so it is taught us to-day
to more fully impress upon our minds to set
our house in order and be always ready.
Rev. Mr. Boyle then made some eloquent
remarks upon the deceased, whose "life's bat
tle was over." He spoke of him as "an ardent,
devoted friend," as any one whom he was
acquainted with will rise up and testify to
here in this valley where he was known so
well. An ardent friend, he was also an
earnest worker who has written his
history on the pages of his country,
and who did what he could with his
wnoie soul. "As a laborer or as a represen
tative in the halls of Congress, he was never
indolent; he never lost any time, but was
always employed for the good of his family,
bis people, and his country." His were the
works that go to make great men. His great
ness cropped out everywhere; he was not
great in but one thing, but iu all; and, to-day
we live in a country where none are born
great, but where any man may achieve great
ness. He spoke of the generous manner in which
his political opponents now came forward to
testify to their admiration for the man, and
closed with a fervent prayer for the family
and friends. A benediction, asked by Rev.
Mr. Graham, ended the exercises, and the
Congressional pall-bearers bore the corpse to
the hearse, and then the long, sad procession,
over a mile in length, followed it to the
little old church yard where his first wife
and elder daughter and first-born son (Colo
nel Covode) are sleeping their last sleep.
ANOTHER STEAMBOAT DISASTER.
THIRTY LIVES DEPORTED LOST.
Memphis, Jan. l.". The steamboat T. L.
McGill, from St. Louis for New Orleans, was
burned at "Shoo Fly" bar at 1) o'clock last
night. The fire broke out aft, and owing to
a gale prevailing, the llnmes spread rapidly,
and the passengers had barely time to rush
to the bow and plunge into the river before
the fire was upon them. To add to the hor
rors of the scene, the weather was very cold,
ana many wno pmngea into the river were
chilled, and sunk to rise no more.
The boat had been aground for two days,
and had unloaded two hundred tons of her
freight in order to get over the bar. She had
on board i00 tons of general merchandise,
including pork and coal oil. Just as the
passengers were preparing to retire an alarm
of fire was raised, and a general stampede
ensued.
The steamers St. Francis and Ann White,
which had passed her, were several miles
above, but seeing her on fire turned baok, and
arrived in time to render valaable assistance.
The H. C. Yerger being near by also rendered
assistance. The Ann White brought up 3G
persons picked up along the shore.
It is probable that thirty of those on board
the steamer when the flames wore discovered
are now dead, and that the number includes
1 our women and three children.
Philip Lock, of Philadelphia, Pa., is missing.
