is one way by which the trade can gain
time and be enabled to keep this large
over-production of whiskey from being
thrown on the market. A better system
still, which is being exter wively adopted,
is to import the whisky t o Liverpool or
Bermuda and leave it the re in boud until
it is actually needed for h ome consunip-

A STRANGE FUNERAL,
Bradford, Pa. March 8.~The burial |
of F. G. Stebbins, who was for twenty
vears editor of the Caba (N. X.) Palriel,
York. Stebbins was what might be pro-
nounced an “Iogersollite.” For years he |
L has been dying of consumption, aud for
months past has brooded over his ap-
proaching dissolution. He was much im- |
pressed with the refusal of Charles R, |
Thorne, Jr, the deceased actor, to bave
any religions services held over his re-
mains, anc! prior to his death exacted from
his family @ promise that no minister of
any denoniination should be allowed to
hold religi ous services over his body. He
was a member of Lodge No, 563, Knights
of Honor, nnd asked that the obsequies
should be conducted by the lodge. He
desired the Knights, when following his
remains te the grave, to sing “Marching
through Georgia,” repeating the song as
the earth feil upon the collin, On leav-
ing the cumetery, they were 10 sing,
“Goodby, My Love, Goodby.”
A RURAL SENSATION.
Stebbins died last Friday, the funeral
takiog place at Gowandas, N. Y., yester-
day, Twenty-cight Knights in a full re-
galia attending the funeral; they sang
the song which the deceased had requests
ed both in going and coming, created
quite a sensation in the quiet town, the
citizens of which did not understand
how such sougs could be tolerated at a
funeral. The mourners, however did not
seem to mind the strangeness of the bur.
jal, The scene st the grave when the
earth rattled on the box and the Knights
started up the old war song was quite im-
Jlemive. As the sound of the last worda

Past Master of Fairview Grange, No. 206,
died on the night of February 15th, 1883,
aged 44 years. Therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of brother
Royer we have lost a faithful and earn-
eat patrou, one whose presence and en-
couraging words infused life in the
grange ; as a man and neighbor honest
and just; as a friend, husband and father
kind and true; in the church a true and
devoted Christian worker; in the com-
munity an active and good citizen.
Resolved, That while his departure has
saddened our hearts it is a comfort for
us to know “that what is our loss is his
eternal gain,” and that during his illness
he was patient and submissive at all
times to tue will of Him “who doeth all
things well,” and would peacefully and
calmly say “Thy will done.”
Resolved, That the grange extend their
sincere sympathy to the bereaved family
of the departed one, where we kuow his
life was the centre.
Resolved, That in token of respect to
the memory of our departed Brother, the
charter of our grange draped in
mourning for a period of thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these resoln-
tions be presented to the family of our
deceased Brother, also that they be re
corded on the minutes of this grange,
