Was conveyed to its last resting place on
the farm, all Talthy fainilies having
sate burial g ounds., According to a
utiful custom among the Germans,
before proceeding to the burial, the
ooze was removed just outside the
threshold; and with the warm sunshine
ef heaven once more resting on, the pale
tace, the last, kiss wasiven, the last
farewell taken. During the absence at
the grave the rooms were, cleared and
,hies set everywhere, one private table
always appropriated to the immediate
family, they beteg treated on the ma-
xim as guests. The other tables were
filled promiscuously by whoever chose
to take a seat. As soon as any one had
eaten he vacated his seat, which was im-
mediately filled by some ,other person.
When: seen by attendants a change of
plate wasmade, but sometimes the debris
of the first eater was just ehoved to one
side of the plate.
It was estiniated that' 1,000 people
ate on this occasion. The cellar, extend-
ing under the house, was etched over-
head sed whitewashed, and in its fresh-
ness and cleanliness lookers the very per-
fection of housekeeping,; Around it
were suspended swinging Shelves; and, on
the floors tables set forming aisles ; these
were all filled with provisions as closely as
theyeould set. In anotherpart were tubs
containing hundreds of pounds ofolden
butter meats. In the kitchen and suin-
mer kitchen, always an adjunct of a
wealthy farmer's establishment, in fire-
places hung huge copper caldrons, such
as are used for making apple butter, of
the capacity of two barrels, filled with
coffee, and as it was used they were re-
plenished by the coffee maskers., A far-
mer's smoke house always contains a
great quantity of choice meat ; besides,
era this case a bullock had been slaughter-
ed and boiled the day before. During
eating there was a constant._ replenishing
of the provisions. The attendants on
these occasions are the wives and daugh-
ters• of neighboring farmers, and their
work is gratuitous. The surplus provi-
sions in this case were given to the poor,
and for days they streaued along the
road with well filled baskets.
This might be considered a more than
ordinary funeral, but this is the style of
them. In the case of the death of the
father of this family, who had been
a sort of patriarch among his _people, I
asked the managers of the funeral how
much provision they had' made for it.
" Well, 'they said, if it had not been
for the long spell of rain and sleet, mak-
ing the roads very bad, it would have
been a big funeral, so they had only
made provu3ion for 700 or 600 ;" and at a
funeral of a child of a neighbor, whose
age was about 7 years, ,the baker, on my
inquiry, told me she "had made 70
loaves of bread, a batch of light cake.
and 150 pies." When a', funeral takes
place in the summer, and'r'the house is
not of sufficient capacity 10 hold the
tables, the threshing floor,o -the barn is
used, or some sheltered out of door place,
such as an orchard or- under the shade of
trees, The table furniture for the occa-
sion is either borrowed from neigh bora or
hired from a store.
There are several superstitions connect-
ed with death and funerals' in the country
which are a strange blending of the ludi-
crous with the mournful, One is that if
the mother of a family is dying, the via
egar barrel mist be shaken at the time
to.prevent the "mother" in it from dy-
ing. Said a man once, in sober earnest
to me, "I was so sorry Mr. D. was not
in the room when his wife died."
" Where was be," inquiredI. " Oh, in
the cellar a-shaktn' the vinegar barrel; ;
but if he had just told me I would"have
done it and let him been in the room to
sae her take her last breath." We will
charitably hope the object of this super-
stition was to divert the husband from
his grief, and not the fear that the next.,
winter's pickles would lack acidity.
Another is that' the last person that goes
out of a house at a funeral will be the
next one to die, and, as the audience be--
gins
e-gins to thin, you may see people slip very
nimbly out of a back or kitchen door to
avoid being that " last., one," What
this arose from 1' do not know, unless
they feared the practical ' Application of

The Late LadSr Franklin.
Lady Franklin, whose death was an-
nounced last week, was 71 years of age,
Lady Franklin's maiden name was
Griffin, andshe was born in London,
She was married. to Sir John Franklin in
1826. Sir John' had served in the British
Navy under Lard Nelson, -and had led
two expeditions to theAretic regions be-
fore this (his second) marriage. In
1834 he was appointed Governor of Van
Diemen's Land, and during the six years
of Inc administration his wife aided hire
in securing the favor of the colonists
and natives. A dangerous kind of rep-
tile infested Van Dieman'e Land at this
time, and Lady Franklin ';paid a slim of
money for each one that wau killed. Con -
quently the species was ;sopn extermin-
ated, In May, 1845, Sir driltn. Franklin.
sailed from' England for the Arctic seas,
in command of the ehipsr Erebus and
Terror, hoping to discover the north-
west paseage. The expedition was
ex-
acted to return in 1847. In that year
Franklin, feeling�sat anxiety for
her husband, began her memorable series
of efforts to ascertain his fate. She offer-
ed
ed large rewards to any person who
would attempt to ediseover the missing
party. She made an appeal to the Am-
erican people in 1849, for theirrsco-opera-
tion in the search, to which ; the late
Henry Grinnell responded; She did not
veJohn
up
her hope of rescuing Sir
rankhn and his partyuntilyears after
the world felt' assured .of is death.
Finally she sent out the steamer Fort,
under the command of Captain McClin-
tock, who returned in 1859, two years
after his departure, =having discovered in
May of' that year, at Point Victory, on
