se would have been. Last evening the body was placed
in an erect position, in order to allow the injected fluid to
settle in the veins and arteries, so as to give to the face a
more natural appearance. The swelling has entirely disappeared
from the neck and face, and the decomposition which had set in
had been checked. The remains will not be enshrouded until this
morning, when they will be placed in the coffin, enclosed in a
white merino robe with a satin collar, satin cord about the
waist, and a black neckerchief about the neck.

Yesterday afternoon the father, sisters, and wife of the deceased
were permitted to view the remains. His wife removed the
breast-pin and a miniature of their child from about his neck,
which she had placed there but a few days previous to his
execution. She is but eighteen years of age, and has an infant
four months old. She is from Harper's Ferry, Va., where she was
married about seventeen months since. She, as well as the other
relatives, was overwhelmed with sorrow, and it was some moments
before they were sufficiently recovered to be enabled to leave
the body. The refusal of the Consistories of the Lee Avenue and
Fourth Reformed Dutch Churches to permit the services to be held
in their edifices has given rise to the expression of much
feeling, and many of the friends of the deceased infer that this
refusal is made from a fear of censure on the part of some of the
members of their congregations, in allowing a Christian burial to
the remains.
