Owing to the late rains it is now difficult of access by the usual route.

Tee directors of the cemetery learning of this fact, held a meeting find authorized the removal of the fence in front of the tomb.

Fragrant flowers and green wreaths lay in profusion in front of the tomb and about its approaches, having been placed by loving hands. when the hearse arrived the casket was taken from it by thepall-bearers and placed in front of the vault. The assemblage gathered about in reverential quietude, when Bishop Gregg, from the steps of the tomb, read Hie solemn service of the Episcopal church in touching tones.

Then the body of Captain L. J. Latham. which had passed through the crucible of life to a venerable and honored age, was laid away among his kindred. The assemblage departed from the flower- skirted tomb, entered the carriages and were driven through the various roads of the bnrs ing place, back over the glen and throuah the gateway to the city.

At the close of the sacred duties of the afternoon Glecnwood was all aglow with tho evening light that fell alike upon the trees barren of foliage, those budding into emerald beauty and those rich in variegated livery.
