Dr. P. D.

Having arrived at the grave, in Hoi mead's burial grrunl, the funeral services of the order were real by P O Thomas K Gray, who officiated as chaplain; and the solemn scene was clcsed by the u.emhcrs of the order showering upon the coffin the mystic evergreen. The procession returned to the hall, where we left them, much imprc.ved with the bent ficial results accruing from this band of brothers, who neglect not to vi?i* the sick, bury the dead, comfort the affiicted, and eduea'e the orphan. Mr. Anthony Buchly was the un dertaker. to whom much credit is due for the admirable manner in which his solemn duties were performed.
