REV. DRS, HOWE AND LEE.
'THE FUNERAL, AND THE INTERMENT AT
LAUREL RILL
'The ftmeral ceremonies of the Rt. Rev.
Alonzo Potter, late Bishop of the Diocese of
Pennsylvania, were held yesterday afternoon,
at Christ Chureh, Second street, aboveldarket.
BishOp Potter WaS porn in Beekman, (now La
grange), Neiv York, on the kith day of July, in
the year 1800. He graduated at Union College,
Schenectady, N. Y., in 1818, with distinguished
honor, and was immedialeiy elected tutor in
that college. In 1821 he was elected Professor
V . Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, but
remained in that position but a short time,
He retired therefrom with a view Of pursuing
his theological studies. He was ordained a
Deacon in .April,lB2l, and a Priest in 1824. He
became rector of St. Paul's Church, Boston, in
1826, and remained there until 1831, when he
returned to Union College in the capacity of
Professor of ItioralVhilosophy, and Vice Pre
sident of the College. The degree of D. D. was
conferred upon him by Harvard and Gambier
Colleges, and LL. D. by Union College, in 1816.
On the twenty-V:llrd day of September,lB4s, he
Was consecrated Bishop of Pennsylvania, as
successor of Bishop Onderdonk, at Cill'iSt
Church, which position he occupiedat the time
of his death. During the twenty years that
Bishop Potter has held official station in this
diocese lie has identified his name with many
of the benevolent institutions of the city.
Amovgst those Which lie was most active in
founding and carrying on successfully are the
Hospital of the Church in Philadelphia, the
"Clergy Daughters' Fund," " The Divinity
School," and " The Institution for Feeble
minded Children."
Bishop Potter was also distinguished as an
author. "The Principles of Science Applied
to the Domestic and Mechanic Arts," was pall
lished in' 1841, and "Political Economy; its
Objects, 'Uses, &c.," in the same year. In 1844
published a popular work called "The
'School and Schoolmaster." In 1858 he pre
pared "The Handbook for Readers and
Students." As a preacher, Bishop Potter
is-as grave, thoughtful, and instructive, with.
out affectation of fine rhetoric; his style
- was pure, simple, and terse. one was more
impressed with the force and truth of his
remarks than the splendor of the man. lathe
tint years of his Episcopate, he delivered in
the city of Boston, before the Lowell Insti
tute, in the presence of large and delighted
assemblies, a series of lectures on "Natural
"Religion and Christian Evidences," which
astonished and delighted his hearers by their
depth of thought, their beauty and force of
illustration, and their felicity of expression;
the more so as he came to the speaker's stand
- without a note of any hind. During his
occupancy of the office of Bishop of this
State, he made many warm friends by
the courtesy of his manner, and the en
larged Christian charity which was ever
his characteristic. His devotion to his of
fice broke down his constitution, which
was not naturally robust, and his visiteto the
Pacific coast was intended to recuperate his
exhausted .energies. His friends had much
hope in the beginning of the voyage that his
_health would be entirely restored, but at
Panama he was seized with the local fever of
that place, which resulted in his death.

ADDRESS Or CHURCH. OP DALIVORNIA.
Rev. Dr. Merton, then read the address of
the Church at California, which was published
in The Press of yesterday. -
Rev. Dr. Howe then delivered the following
address
ADDRESS OF DR. HOWE
It always seems to me somewhat like pre-
sumption for a living man to speak in the
presence of death. It seems ever to remind
we of the revelation or tile promises of God's
words, and to imply a sorrowful exercise of
prayer. It seems much more important to
me than anything which can be brought to it.
It suggests to me so many problems which
llaitu cannot solve. It is ever an inscrutable
mystery; it is eloquent of past memories ; full
Of sOlenin Interest. Now in dm presence of this
death, so full of large significance, how much
more unnecessary it is to inflict upon you any
words; to speak in this august presence
of one from whom you, for a score of years,
have had the privilege of listening with free,
admiring ears, but who now is silent—silent
in your very midst; with sealed lips, stilled
heart ; with resting brain, the goodness all
quenched, which once shorts from his godly
eyes. I thought it would have been my pri.
vliege, as one who was associated with him in
the 'ministry, to have mourned the blotf, in
silence ; for I would rather have followed the
example of Bliphaz and his friends who went
to console the afflicted Job, but rather ex
pressed their sympathy by sitting in silence
seven days. But custom makes it right, In
the solemnities of such a day as to - bow to
Christian wishes, and give vocal expression to
our feelings in these moments of bereave
ment. It would not do in these moments to
dilate upon our loss, or to gratify or intensify
our grief, by restoring the memory of our de
solation. It would be more Christian to raise
our hearts to the right hand of the Most High,
to record the good acts in the life of this most
godly man, and manifest our gratitude in the
memory of the blest.
Beloved, it is not for me to do Justice to the
subject in the few moments which are allotted
to me. That must be reserved for another
time and to abler hands. You to whom he
ministered know that his character seemed
very complete and rounded. I am not a man
of sufficient stature to take the measure of his
- moral or intellectual perfectness, therefore,
y ShOtila 1115 character was so
],urely balanced, so excellent in itself, that I
scarcely could dwell upon it should I speak
far better. His heart was all a g low with
triotism in the very midst of his country's
trials. HIS Were virtues and abilities, indeed. I
might speak enthusiastically of this holy man ;
I might speatc of Wm as a bishop, as a mm, as
a sympathizing friend. In all these qualities,
there is alrwe could - wish him to be—every
thing:Wade towardsthe..completeness of his
.ebaractei:—lnall the services of the capacity
.every trial found him its equal. In his Intel
tectual he was like he was in his physical
;stature; he eeeMed always to me to be after
he model of the immortal Washington of
w horn it was said there was no salient points
in hie character. All were complete,- every
-thhig was finely, fully developed.
.heleveds - If there is a province into which I
do not feel like entering on this mournful oc
. e l ision, when this great community is gathered
t odether to pay their last respects to their de
parted bishop and great citizen—if there
is any province into which I might not
desire to enter, it is the sanctuary of
private grief—to draw its veil asunder to
the mine gaze. 'But it must be that the.
liht which shone si) brightly from him
when he - was in life. must have fallen with a
peculiar lustre upon those who now sUffer.
lint the family circle is now left with. nothing
but the memory of that light. But what was .
the legacy he left? What graces has:God given
them . 1 Let me direct their attention, then, to
the three prominent and conspicuous traits in
'which the departed Bishop manifested a sin.gu
lar union of ideas, as a public man, as a
leader of the laity, as a bishop and adminis
trator. From the very first he manifested a
singular aptitude for overnment in any
sphere of life. Doubtless'his long experience
at the head Of a eellege, contributed to himthis
faculty before Goa sent him among us. - When
he came to us he came to find an afflicted and
divided diocese. He came conscious that a.
single mistake would leave his flock Worse
almost than he found them. Btit God - gave
him strength and great ability. He
looked - upon our clergymen as his own
Sons in the ministry ; he knew them well and
dearly; he read the special Character of each
and every one ; he brought the power of each
into full growth—each he made, useful; he
-never gossiped about his clergy; he never
made a single one the subject of censorious
conversation with any one. As a faithful
father, where it was necessary, he adminis
tered a parental rebuke in the moat secret pri
vacy, so that every one received it without
having in the slightest degree lost the posses
sion of his self-respect. He got rid of differ
ences and controversies upon ecclesiastical
and theological matters, not by prescription
of those in power over him, not by the issu
ance of any prelatical bull. "or manifesto,
but by drawing men together, urging them
in good works, and keeping them in the
work of good. Thus he broke up, and
always entirely removed diffleulties. He
himself exemplified what he enjoined upon
others. There was no room for absurd work,
no room nor time for solemn trifles. Any
man,when - work was to be done, who was or
felt himself a drone, or felt himself uncom
fortable in the general stir, could withdraw
himself. In the direction of affairs in this
great diocese many and happy changes have
been wrought. What a charm has been dif
fused throughout it What harmony of feel
ing and kindly greeting of hearts! What grace
has been given by God, who watches over us!
I see another marl: of his character, his ad
ministrative qualities, his skill and power, in
the accomplishment of the great interests of
the Church. So diverse were his duties that
little time was left for the performance of
any one of them. He had great capacity—
was full of original plans. He had a
great power of invention, such a practical
turn of mind,that whenever anything was
, suggested in has thoughts, it:was immediately
tested practically. He was always reminded
that in the accomplishment of a great work,
co-operation was necessary. He had that ca
pacity that when anything was proposed, he
took the standpoint from which other men
looked, and considered his own suggestions
as if from other eyes, as it appeared to other
minds. He never proposed what other men
would consider an albuse and what would. not
be generally admitted 'by those who could
fairly admit it. This gave him a, mighty hold
upon the laity of this diocese, Who knew the
mind which directed the - whole church. He
did not interfere in the affairs of a parish, or
inquire into its fiscal affairs. He had a mar
vellous power too, over other men. How skil
ful he was in hie Cc:lnduct of affairs. Witness
his magnificent wisdom in the erection of the
Protestant Episcopal Hospital, and the Divi
nity School, for which in less than ten years,
through his influence, 8500,000. has been con
tributed.
Beloved: There was another normal trait in
our Bishop's character to which I wish to ad
vert, and that, it seems to me, crowns his
graces—shows his catholicity of spirit. He
was too great a man to be a little convention
alist. He loved all Who loved religion. He
was tolerant of a difference of opinion, but in
and out of the church he manfully contended
for the faith delivered to the saints. Brought
into the church by conviction, he had a love
for all Christian people. My reverend breth
ren can - call to mind that he was one Of the
earliest friends and one of the most zea
lous contributors to what was called the
Memorial Denominationalist, in which he
contemplated a church (our own church)
the centre of a visible unity, and believed
that something could be done among those
who professed faith in Christ by a deno
mination in which all could meet, he wished,
which would not be subject to the scoffs of the
world. To so change the lives of men so that
they could say," See how the Christians love !"
instead of the jeer of the present day, "See
how the Christians hate one another!" One
of thp noblest monuments of the memorial
were the "memorial papers." These he con
tributed, and drew the warm sympathies of
many hearts, rich and fruitful. Nis best efforts
were towards drawing all in the bonds of
Christian unity. Beloved, in amoment like this
we learn a great lesson. My heart responds to
your sympathies. He was among the first
to labor towards the - restoration of our own
church, and today, all over the great diocese,
the hearts of our laity are turned, one towards
another. There isteft diocese—a monument
to him—which is doubled in its strength.
There is left a spirit of harmony breathing
everywhere. There are left sensible monu
ments of his wisdom, to some of which
I have incidentally adverted, and many others
in the origin of which be participated. There
is left a policy ; there is left, in the goodness
of Providence, a successor who has been
trained in his school—one thoroughly 9-
ipiainted with his policy. May he be, we pray
God, may he be preserved to continue
that school, in that policy, and fulfill those
wished-for measures, walk in the footsteps
be followed for years. He died as he had
lived, with his armor on. Bless God that
when he saw the last of earth on a far-off
shore, he opened the eye of the Spirit in
a better lend. In the very midst of the . dis
charge of his high duties, he left behind
magnificent prints of mind and soul. We
bless His holy name for the precious fruits
we are reaping in our own diocese. Since the
dead Bishop has been gathered home, his epi
taph can be written like the epitaph on the
walls of St. Paul's Cathedra, London, com
memorating the name of Sir Christopher
requirts 7/11Ar. ~,,, ..redtax% eiveumapice.
"Bishop Lee, of Delaware, then made the fol,
lowing remarks :
He said he would not detain his hearers many
moments on an occasion like the - present, and
were he to consult his Own feelings he was dis
posed to dwell on the loss sustained, and the
sorrow that has filled our hearts. It was not
so much a time for lamentation as for praise.
While we cannot but mourn the great loss we
have sustained, we should, glorify and praise
God for the example of His departed servant.
Blessed be the name of the Lord that He had
given us such a servant, and that we had been
permitted to see Such natural gilts so well im
proved. Bethought it a greatprivilege that he
was permitted to be acquainted with such a
man. Again, we may thank God that such a
work was given thisman to do. He was placed
in the centre of a State vast in extent and great
in resources. He was surrounded by sympa
thiZing clergy, and when he devised any great
TAgg, they w ere carried out with efficiency.
Some of the noblest men alio have ever lived
have met with stumbling blocks at every step
of their way; but it suited God, who ordains
our lot, to give our departed Bishop such a
held in which he could labor with the best re
sults. His course has been growing brighter
with the perfect day. There are many men
wno, having occupied high positions, have
, lived too long to finish their record with honor
' and usefulness. Not so in the case of our loved
Bishop. His sun,grew brighter and bright
er until its final setting in a perfect day.
Again., such a man as our departed Bishop,
he thaniced God could never die. He would
continue to live and animate this community
for all time. The man who was loyal to his
Gad; his country, his Saviour, his Church, and
humanity, cannot depart. His memory will
be cherished, his acts treasured, and the name
of Alonzo Potter 'will be remembered after
Nall present here today shall go to the place
appointed for all living.
In conclusion, he requested all to remember
those who had ehar,ge over them, and hoped
that they might be led to Chrinl who was the
same yesterday, to day, and forever.

Music from Mozart's Twelfth Mass.
The usual prayers followed, including a
prayer for the afflicted family and diocese.
Bishop Stevens delivered the benediction. '
The body was then taken to Laurel Hill
Cemetery, followed by a large concourse of
relatives and friends, and interred with the
impressive services of the Episcopal Church.
After the impressive services at the Church
the remains of the Reverend Bishop were con
veyed to the hearse In waiting. The reverend
clergy, with uncovered heads, received them
and a posse of Reserve officers, with white
gloves, and standing with great precision, pre
vented the crowd from approaching. Every
thing was conducted with the greatest deco
rum, and the funeral cortege passed up Second
street to Arai, thence to Twelfth street, and
up to Ridge avenue, and so to the Laurel Hill
Cemetery.
A large number of sympathizing friends
were alongboth sides of Arch street, and the
male portion of them took off their hats, while
the ladies wept. All along the route of the
mournful procession numbers of friends were
standing, and the scene was solemn and im
pressive.
As the carriages containing the distin
guished clergymen entered North Laurel 1111 1
Cemetery, en immense number of ladies stood
on either side of the road ; and silently looked
upon the sad procession,. Amid a golden sun,
down the remains of the lamented Bishop
were taken from the funeral car, and borne
up to the place made for the reception of his
remains.
The Right Rev. Bishop Stevens read the
solemn said impressive service of the Episco
pal Church in cases of burial, and alongside
the banks of the Schuylkill the remains were
deposited.
The number of carriages in the cortege was
forty-six, and the cemetery was filled with
private equipages, many of the most intern•
gent and best of our citizens being present.
The twilight added to the solemnity of the
occasion, and the chirp of the cricket, the
placid waters of the Schuylkill, the vestments
of the distinguished clergy, and the breath
less attention of the vast audience, all lent a
sacredness to the occasion not often witnessed.

THE NATIONAL GAITE.
THE ACTIVES VS. THE CAMDEN
THE ACTIVES NOT BEING ACTIVE
ENOUGH ARE BEATEN.
JERSEY REJOICES THEREAT.
TEE ATHLETIC AND TEM CAMDEN.
A BIG THX/RgDAY IN JERSEY,
The "Active" Base Ball Club, or at least the
first nine of the same, that arrived in Phila.
delphia on Wednesday for the purpose of win.
ning a ball from each of the Philadelphia clubs
and those in the vicinity, met with a most de
cided defeat yesterday, by the first nine of the
Camden. The thrilling scenes occurred on the
spacious field near 'the Diamond Cottage, in
the village which skirts the Delaware, oppee
site Philadelphia. It may be es well to state
the condition of the weather. - The sun was
clouded ; the wind blew in fitful gusts from
the northwest and was cool. It was sufficiently
strong, however, at times, to have consider
able effect on the ball, that whizzed under
the propelling power of the bat through
ethereal space to a remarkable height, and
to great distances; in some instances to the
extent of one hundred and seventy-five or
eighty yards.
This afforded a splendid opportunity to ex
hibit the fielding skill of the players. It was
good on both sides ; and it WAS COnfessed.that
that of the Actives could not be excelled.
Some of the "fly catches" were extraordina
ry, requiring great activity and the most con
summate skill to ensure success. It will be .
seen that no less than twenty-five of these
catches were made, every one of them
requiring so - much expertness that drew
forth universal applause, and in 0118
or two instances cheers were given.
There were leveral unusual scenes ; one of
them, for the novelty, caused some laughter.
"Camden" had the bat, and directed a well
intended blow to send the ball to the utmost
bounds, so that a run to the second, or perhaps
third base, or even home," might be gained.
The ball, however, glanced, from the twist
given it by the "pitelier," audit came in core
tact with the sconce of the "back-stop.". What
made this the more laughable tir ELS the fact
that up to this 'part of the game, the "Ac.
tives" were cheered considerably, and the
"back-stop" had only a moment before this
removed his cap, which he twirled to the
ground. At a subsequent period he received
the ball on the front of his throat, in the region
of " Adam's apple," from the effects of which
he came very near fainting. He, however,
bore up with remarkable indifference against
these mishaps, and kept up to his work like a
veteran.
There were a large number of spectators
present, among them some of the most re
spectable residents of Camden and its sur
roundings. The ladies, bless them, were also
there, to give the SeMbUMW of grace and
beauty to the scene, and they appeared to be
delighted and interested in the grand and
thrilling events of the afternoon. The hour
of three haying arrived, the star-spangled
banner,was run to the top of the staff, and the
game commenced—the Actives being at the
bat,
At the conehision of the fourth inning the
excitement began to increase, for up to this
time the Camden led the Active five and one
half to one. At the end of the fifth inning,
however, the game stoodalmost eleven to nine
in favor of the Camden. The New York friends
of the Actives, were free in their talk, but at
the end of the next, innings the Actives were
"skunked" for the third time. The next trial
also ended in a " skunk." This was the,seventh
inning.. The game now stood Camden nine
teen, the Active eleven. The eighth inning
concluded by the Camden being 66 skunked,"
but the Actives made only four. Now the
friendg of the Camden were in great glee. The
other side tried to appear cheerful, but it was
evident they were drooping in spirits, and
could not hope to " win the ball." The ninth
and, of course, last inning was contested in the
most 'determined manner; the pitchers, on
both sides, tried to put their opponents out
at the first, second, and third bases, but in vain.
Some of the fielding, at this time, was an ex.
cellent display of skill, and finally the inning
resulted in favor of the Actives by four to
three for the Camden.
Cheers were now given alternately for the
respective clubs. The Actives were evidently
crest-fallen ; but the Camden wore the blush
ing honors well.

Mr. Thos. Fitzgerald, President of the Atli'
letics, again tendered a challenge to the Ac.
tives to play this afternoon, but the latter de.
elined, The utmost hilarity prevailed, and
everything passed oft' good-natnredly.
The Camden, who had been beatenlive times
successively, we believe, by the Athletics,
were, of course, high in. the scale of artistic
importance, and-Mr. Fitzgerald " threw down
the glove" to them, and they picked it up in
stanter, The time tixed for the great trial is
next Thursday afternoon, on the grounds of
the Camden Club. It will be a "Dig Thursday"
in Jersey.
There was to be a game between the "Ac'
tive " and the "Keystone? on the grounds of
of the Olympic, this afternoon. This has been
peAponed, in conSequenee of several of the
first-class players of the Keystone being at
Newport and Saratoga, which precludes the
possibility of their attendance;
A REMARKABLE CASE.—In the year 1858
the attention Of Fire xtrarsnai Blackburn was
called to the case of two fires that occurred in
Chestnut street. Two girls—one a stout per
sonage who hailed from Ireland, and a little
colored girl—lived in the house. The latter
declared that she had seen the Irish girl on the
steps coming from the direction of the fires on
both occasions. It is true that she did not
state thal s tbe girl came from the room where
the fires were discovered, but she persisted in
her statement as to seeing the Irish girl come
from that direction. '
Recorder Rneu, who heard the eases at the
Central Station during this period, refused to
bind over the Irish girl, not deeming the evi
dence sufficient- to warrant him in doing so.
The female portion of the family believed the
'lrish girl to be guilty, but the master of the
house agreed with the Fire Marshal and Re
corder as to the innocence of the white woman
and guilt of the colored girl.
This colored girl was a sprightlyliftlething,
and possessed a peculiar cunning that was
well calculated to win the affections of all
with whom she met. After the discharge of
the white woman, the Fire Marshal discovered
some additional evidence against the colored
girl, and concluded to arrest her. While en
gaged in searching out her whereabouts, an
officer arrived from Woodbury, N. J., and
stated that the colored girl referred to had
been arrested in his county up the charge
of arson, 814 vats §ubSectuentls taken before
Judge rotts t when she odilfeSsed to having set
fire to a harm-assigning as a reason, that the
lady with whom she lived offended her. Judge
Potts sentenced' her to an incarceration of
seven years, all of which she Served.
A number of members of the Society 'of
Friends in New Jersey and Pennsylvania in
terested themselves in this girl, and when she
left prison she was enabled to read, and was
au jail in citing passages of scripture.
Thinking she was penitent, a gentleman re
siding in Bucks county induced a friend of his
to take the girl With him. It must be recoi;
lected that the girl had nOwreached the age of
maturity, and everything went on well for a
time. The family with whom she lived had
two elegant flower-beds, and one morning it
was discovered that every flower had been
taken from one of them.
This was passed over, anti yet suspicion was
attracted toward a colored man in the neigh
borhood, who did not bear a very enviable
reputation. It was through the statement of
the girl that the suspicion rested upon this
roan.
In a short time the watch of the proprietor
of tbe house was discovered to have been
tampered with, the bands being broken, The
lady of the house was in the room where the
watch was, and yet she cannot conceive who
injured it.
A ham was finally taken from the premises;
and now the son. of the prOprietor of the house
caused a search-warrant to be issued, and the
colored mans house was searched in vain. A.
few days afterwards, the ham was found in a
sluice near the premises.
The next difficulty that was discovered was
the lartairing up of the milking-pails, and they
too were sent into the sluice...
A few days since this girl came in to thelady
with whom she lived, and told her .that she
beard a strange rustling in the garden east of
the house. The lady said she would investi
gate the singular noise, if her husband did-not
come home in time to do so. The girl was en.
gaged in paring pears, and started out to
empty the parings. The lady was suddenly
attracted by a bright light reflecting against
her window, and upon looking out discovered
her barn on are.
The girl ran in and told the lady to help to
get the carriages OUt, and ,She assisted in
getting one out. The lady told her to get the
bell and ring it in the road, so as to attract
the attention of the neighbors. She took the
.bell and proceeded towards the road, after
which she Maraca an% said pile had iren. a
THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, SA TURDAY, AUGUST 12, 186&:
man running across a field, and bad no doubt
be was the man who set fire to the barn.
Now there is a clump of woods near the
house, and any incendiary would doubtless
have affected his escape in this manner; and
not thrOugh an open field. A number of ladles
came over to the fire, and their attention was
attracted by this girl to the only remaining
flower bed, and on examination discovered
that every flower had been taken from the
place and left near the front door, the earth
being fresh upon it.
This same girl called the attention of some
of the neighbors to something Wrong in the
garden, and upon looking there thirty heads
of cabbage were discovered in a pile, having
been dug up and laid together.
• A justice of the peace has had the girl before
him, and Fire Marshal Blackburn has identi
fied her as the same girl he was looking for in
le58; yet the evidence is not sufficient, in,the
opinion of the justice, to hold her. Her father
resides in this city, and is a hard-working,
worthy Plan.
