May God bless you for your noble work. Very respectfully,. M. J. FARRELL." Funeral of Mr. W. H. Cuttino. By request of different parties, Mr. Brown has furnished us for publication the following report of the services held eu last Sunday at the firaeral of Mr. Cuttino : The Sabbath morning was gloomy and the sky was curtained with clouds. The funeral had been appointed for one o'clock ; but at the boer for the procession to leave the resi? dence, the rain was falling furiously, and this delayed the coming of the Masonic body and the Light Infantry and Fire Company which were to accompany the remains to the burial. For over an hour before this the Church build? ing had Been completely filled with persons who, ont of love and respect, had. come to witness the last sad rites. Not a' seat was vacant and even the aisles were occupied by persons who ?food during- the services. The gallery alone had been reserved and kept closed until the arrival of the procession io order that the different societies might find at least standing ;obm. As the organ "slowly sounded its notes, the pall-bearers-Messrs. Wm, Graham, Wilson, Bultman, Delgar, A. Moses and W. M. DeLorme-entered -with the body. The casket was neat and handsomely trimmed, i and covered: with flowers. Tho floral offer? ings sent to the bouse were many and beau I tifnL As the pall-bearers took the ir seats, the choir sang: "Shall we meet beyond' the river, Where the Surges cease to roll, Where in all the bright forever, Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul ? ShalT we meet rn that b!??t harbor. When our stormy voyage is o'er? Shall we meet and cast the anchor By the fair celestial shoreT Shall we meet in yonder city Where the tow'rs of crystal si?ine, Where the waifs are all of jasper, Bfailtby workmanship divine? Shall we meet with Christ our Saviour, When he comes to claim his own? Shall we know his blessed favor, And sit down upon his throne?" The pastor then- read some selections from' the S?r?pt:?tes of the Old' Testament, and Mr. Edmunds, of the Presbyterian Church, arose and said that Mr. Brown, who waa afraid to trust himself to speak ou this occasion, had requested! him to read the following paper. "And," said he,- "this siience, for the ?eason given, on the part of the pastor is a more eloquent tribute than the wordi he has writ? ten." He then read: If the ardor of my affection and the fervency of my friendship for Bro. Cuttino could dic? tate my utterances for this- hour, verily should I write "words that burn and thoughts that breathe." But all life's memo? ries that now- bind me to the dear dead have becouft sacred and holy, and puss as valued1 treasures into the archives of my soul to dwell there in hushed silence. Not here where' mourners bend and- hearts quiver in the chill gloom* of sorrow, rn this house of G"oc% does the pastor dare attempt, with a heart too fully to speak of one who was Bis brother in every wiry except ia- b?eod. And while I tum away ia dismay from my appointed task,-1 can'ottiy beg the privil?ge?*testify ?rig through another as to the truth a?? faithfulness and godliness ?f tb*dead. Mr. C u-t ti no #ae~ a rn every sense, and had combined in him every essen tia* element of true manhood-a man of honor",' a; man: of iategrity, a man of talent, a man of sympa? thy, a man of charity, a man of God. I have known bim intimately iii forest and field where we went io quest of innocent pleasure, in the routine of life's daily walk, in the midst of circumstances" which tried' men's souls, in the homes of the suffering and* dying, at tribunals where all his finer senses were provoked to utterance, and in the sweet and quiet calm of our quiet Church life, and I have never detected; in Bim the semblance of an unholy purpose, or seen the shadow of dis? honest intention in a siDgle act". There is no tribute of love that man could pay to man that I would not pay to him ; but my words must pass unuttered. I, along with macy of you, bad the privilege of know? ing him and loving him, and I thank God for these graeious years of fellowship. Brother, farewell t "Resting now in peace with Jesus, Loving hearts remember your."' The choir then sung : "Lowly and solemn be Thy children's-cry to tbee^ Fathef dnvTa*!1 A hymn of suppliant breathy Owning that life and death-, Alike are thine. "0- Father, in that hour, When earth all succoring power Shall disavow ; When shear and shield and crown, In faintness., are cast down, Sustain us thou. "Trembling beside the grave, We call on thee to save^ Father divine y Hear, h*ar our suppliant breath - Keep us in life and death, Thine, only ihiae." Mr. Kershaw, pastor of tho Episcopal Church, then delivered" the-following address-: ADDKK33- OF TH? REV. J^fUf KEKS HAW-. At the request of his pastor, who fre?s that he cannot trust himself to say what his heart prompts him to utter tbi* day, ? have ven? tured to speak for bira. But I am conscious that upon an occasion like this, the words of man must seem unnecessary and vain. Un? necessary, because God's Word has in. it all that is needful, both in the way of knowledge, to reach as whither the dead has gone, and of comfort to tho wounded and broken hearts that are left behind. Vain, because this mute and silent witness is more eloquent, more heart-searching ?nd convincing,, than any tongue or pen of man however gifted. Yet the heart moves us to say something as we gather to pay this tribute of respect to one so honored, so beloved-, so-useful, as was this our dear friend and brother. Cur poor words cannot reach him now, but from that flower-strewn casket, there issues as it were, a trumpet call to us who survive, which I fain would interpret. It says to all-to them who have suffered and to them who have never know u a. seal bear t-ac he - to those lowborn. lif?i?raara very pleasant dream, and: to tl who, for whatever cause or reason refus concern themselves- about the unseen1 -eternal world,;: "Behold the work of m J last great enemy-and know that you must die." Death is-as certain an event to tt^as'it . to the very radest of our forefathers.. "So er or later it comes close to all of us, and mists-which hide its stern realities from* eyes roll away, and leave ns face to face, a them. Death does not move ns much wi it visits those whom we do not know, whom we know only slightly : when meets ns only as it wends its way through street toward the cemetery, or aa it cate our eye in the"eo?nta?ie of the daily news per. But sooner or later, we find that de comes home to ns, even-to-vs, in all the eic . ness of its dreadful embrace; Not, it may this time to ourselves that were, perha more bearable. Bat the one human being have loved heston earth, lies before us on 1 bed of pain. It It very gradual, perhaps, a there ara many rallies in which the faili powers struggle with disease, causing c rhones to brighten, only to die back inte a deeper despair, as the struggle is seen to hopslesa. Atlast a time comes to which the da gone before are as if they had not been day comes, which ever after lives in mernot We can no longer reckon on hours of Iii we dare not be away even for a few momen lest we should-be too late. Kchangeh&s tak place; tfbieb they know well who are famili .with death, and of which none can mista the meaning. All feel that the time is sho and a few last words are spoken into which compressed a life-i ts most sincere thong! end love-a few assn ranees; messages and e , treaties : no nore* is possible. One by o t?re vital powers' take their leave, and th there comes a hut breath-and we vai?-r M there is none after it. It lies: before us, th loved fort?'; on.y* an hour ago ii tpoke ; \ speak to it now, but in vain. We bend ov it in our agony, as if it .still was what it hi been, but we know full well that neith . thought nor feeling tenants ifaow. And t question must rise then, if it never rose befoi with an- urgency proportioned to the gr; which asks it : "It ali really over? Has t real being, which one short half hour aj : thought and felt so keenly, actually and fe ever ceased to be ? Shall I meet that lott one again in God's good time-in those mai mansions of our Father's house, where the is neither sorrow, nor Crying, nor pain, n parking, where His gentle hand shall wi away all tears from oar faces? And t! Heart speaks words of blessed and tend hope in that hour of deep grief. Deso?a though we be, we think of the Son of Mac beautiful act of compassion as he raised fro the bier the dead soo> the only son, of t1 widow of Nain, following him beart-broki to Bis grave ; we think of the gentle Savio' as be stood weeping with the loving sisters Bethany at the tomb of His friend, thc brother Lazarus, -when they told Hil "Eord, if Tkov hadst been here, our broth bad not died." So sure they-felt of fl mighty aid, Hi? divise pity, His fellowsh with haman sorrow-aid He answered calmly yet majestically in those grand wor which have lit up the grave with the light Heaven. "Jam the Resurrection and the Lil he that believetb on Me, though he were dea yet shall he-live, and whosoever liveth ai believetb on me shaft* neVer die eternally Oh yes 1 Is there not a thrill of deep thouj it may be troubled joy, in the knowledge th He, the divine Son of Man, is touched wi tbs feeling of our sorrows,- and that we .mi therefore go to Him, sure" of Hfs sympatt and help, as we pray : "Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn, Thou our mortal griefs hast borne, Thou bast shed the human tear, Jesus, Son of-Mary,. hear.'' And over the dark billows of grief sounds tl answer, "Come unto me all ye that a weary and heavy laden, and I will give yt rest." This is one tesson- which death teaches'u It sends ns to the Saviour, to the shelter ai comfort of His Divine love * Another les? ' is tout as the years roll on, there art al wa fresh harvestings into tBe garner of God ;: tb great cloud of witnesses which encompasses i grows every year ; there are ever more ac more to look opon us as we walk this earti : and see how we are' Walking? ou<r store i heaven of loved ones grows fuller and mo full while our store on earth grows more ar more empty, until often in our old age v are left utterly alone ; and all wc loved got to swell that great cloud of witnesses. "Mai you, my bearer, as has been asked," nope so eal interest in that spiritual army? A: there no sacred forms there that once upc earth, guided you in the ways of truth an peace?

W see that, through'Christ, death is but the ger vant sent to hear os to*Hl3 ontstretched arms ra1 the conrts of the New Jerusalem, the eter nal city of our God. In that wonderful bool which closes the volume of Revelation, St John paiots for us a scene of calm', an? light, and joy, which- eart'b: may faintly sag gest,, but cannot furnish and supply. Wha is the glory of the autumn sunset as the sk, stands illumined and transfused with gio rioos light, and the clouds lying in it, on sea of golden splendor, such i3" the image faint, imperfect and marred, of our Heaveuh Home-that wondrous Land beyond the se; of time. "How close it often seems; when fhjsh'd' wi tl evening's peaceful gleams ; And the wistful heart looks o'er the strai and dreams ! It longs to fly to thee-calm land beyond th sea. Sometimes across the strait, Like a draw-bridge to a castle gate, the slant i Dg sunbeams lie, And seem tb wait for us to pass to thee calm land beyond the sea. 0 land beyond the sea!: Sweet is thinetterna rest, But sweeter far that Father's breast, Upon thy shores eternally possest, For Jesus reigns o'er thee, calm- land: beyouc tbe seal?' And throughout that wondrous reign, where shall meet transported the saints of al ages, where the loved and' lost shtfll bc given ; back, and those that are gone before shall 1 coane to- receive and welcome us, there sba!-! be no sound of sorrow, grief or pain, neither shall there be any more curse; but tht throne of God and of the Lamb shall bc there ; and His servants shall servo Him, and shall see His face, and His name shall be in their foreheads. Then shall we be in reality the sons of God, drawn by spootaneous and irresistible love to kneel at the feet and fall upon the bosom of Him who is the Sa vicar of sinners- prod i gHls no more, but safe forever under tile shel? ter of our Father's House. Mr. Brown said, at the conclusion af Mr. K-crshaw's- address : ?a. night- before last, while our brother" was rolling rh his del hiting and his pulse was beating so rapidly as if it would hurry him out of thc world-, I was standing near the door, and heard him in broken accents attempting to sing. While j alive, singing was always a source of pleasure and comfort to bira ; now that he was dying, 1 could catch the sound of his fast-fniling voice imperfectly articulating this- ?er.?c of a hymn, which I will nek the choir now to sing "Saviour like R shepherd' lead us;. Much we need thy tender care; In thy pleasant pastures feed us ; For our use thy folds prepare." Mr. P ranks of tbe Methodist ?hurcb led in prayer, and the choir sang THK CHRISTIAN'S GOOD NIGHT. "Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest ; Lay down thy head- upon thy Saviour's breast,;. We'love thge'well, but Jest)s'loves thee bes Good-night 1 Good-night !

While the choir sung the last verse, 1 body was borne from the house under the !c sound of "Good-night 1 good-night! goo night 1" Such'a larg? firneraVconcourse has doul 'less never assembled in Sumter. By acti count there were seventy-five vehicles in lit As these passed the Methodist Church, t bell was tolled as a token- of respect for t dead.
