9. Ths public faneral service aorer the remains Rev. Baron Stow, D. lute nsstorof th Row Street Baptist Chureb, tookplace in tho new charcb in Clarendon street, at noon today, snd were conducted by Rev. J.

Gordon, pastor of the Clarendon Street Society. Private Berrices were held at the Uta residence of the deceased oa Harriana arenas, nt it o'clock, which were conducted ty Rev. Messrs. Fnitou snd Fojjsmbe, none but the immediate relatives being present. For more than an hoar before the solemn chmeh remce was announced to begin tho doors war open, and the arrivals of people anxious to testify their respect to their beloved pastor and friend nil, were rapid, and the portions of tho edifies devoted to the general public, were soon fully occupied.

Tbe organ, pulpit, and choir fronts were deli-retely festooned with miiw mingled with choice flowers, and the pnlpit was faced with a faiibfnl portrait ot the lamented minister, fringed with meaning and surrounded by tnnerai wreaths ml other floral designs, including an an chor, cross, and crown, of white ruses and heliotrope. Tbe fioraliy decked casket, containing the body, wan brought into the cbnrch, st a quarter past twelve oclock, accompanied by Rev. Dm. William Lamaoa, Snmner R. Mason of Cambridge, D.

(j. Eddy, Mills of Salem, J. N. Mardoek, and Rev. Messrs.

G. W. Gardner of Charlestown, 8. w. Foyambe, Stowe of Cambridge, Alvoh Hews of Newton, and J.

D. Fulton, the pall bearers. As the procession proceeded np the main stale, appropriate music was performed npoa the organ. The mourners took scuts between the centra rlslrs. the remaining pews on that section of ths floor having been reserved for the attending clergy tad intimate friends of Dr.

Stow. The chant Lord, Let lie Know Mine End, began the service. A short prayer was offered by L'eV A. Gordon, who st its close, announced the familiar hymn entitled Rock of Ages, which was Impressively mug by ths qnartette. Reeling of tha Scripture by tha pastor followed.

Rev. Dr. Neals then sddreeed the assemblage, expressing his emotions oa learning of ths sadden death of his friend upon arriving st his house on a visit of sympathy, and guvs sketch of hte lift and work in the ministry. Though tho deceased was averse to eniogiiua. Dr.

Neals eoold not refaia from saying that he was oneot the best and pnrest of men. of whose character his denomination might well be 'proud. He was blessed with a sweetness of spirit snd nstnrel courtesy that endeared him to all. He was never known to be engaged in a quarrel and fanlt hod been fbond with him for his lack of belligerency tn rii'n-ing technical principles. Ass preacher he was Judicious, stndlons end prudent, sale counsellor, snd pithy; vslasU aid in every good public work, sound and sincere in doctrine.

Ihe eulogist said there were before him aa pnlpit orator when be first i to Boeun. Students accepted him ns though he made no eflort for ornament in bis discourses. The esuse of his success wss his nearness to his God. Mora than nay man tha Doctor ever knew he inspired confidence, end everybody loved him when st school, college, sad in th ministry. While others hud their trials snd strangles, his path seemed clear.

He was at home and happy in the pnlpit, and his only anguish was nt the changes that had recently been made around him, hardly knowing which way to turn since was released from hte paeto-ral dnties. Bat ho now rests. In alluding to Dr. Stow's last illness, Dr. Neale showed great emotion, at last giving way to tears which interrnFtel bis speech lor several moments, and many in the a ad fence were similarly affected.

After words of comfort to the mourning family. Dr. Netie addressed his clexlcil brethren present, urging them to profit hy the lesson of the hour. Rev. Dr.

J. G. Warren of the Missionary Union remarked that this wus the third time the deaom- nftjop had rfcrntlj been smitten bythcDiriu Hard, bnt it must not complain. Dr. Stow was hern i missionary, he said, and was always active as such, faithful to the end.

His valne in tbe Executive Board was great ever present nt th meetings, hte name appears upon almost every page of the records since 1832, snd the emanatto! of his strong mind are also prominent in tbe proceedings. All his work was wen done. Tba organic law, rales and regulations of the Mission Society owe their effective form more to Barra Stow than to any other member. He wss identified with its history fay his mining labors, snd its members hardly knew how to ge on without him. He closed by urging the members to renewed efforts in the cause, to fill the void that had been made.

Rev. Dr. J. N. Murdock of New York, also of tbe Missionary Union, paid an elquent tribute to th memory of the deported, eulogizing him for his cosmopolitan spirit, hte enlarged views tho scope of Christian charity, and bis failtifnlnnaa I theological principle.

Tbe paster then announced the bymn beginning, laths cross uf Christ I stay, and the ftineral prayer wav offered hy Rev. Dr. C. Stockbridge of Providence. Cast tby burden on the Lord was then chanted hy the cboir, ax the conclusion of which thos present who desired were permitted to take a last look on the countenance of the deceased.

The remains were followed to their burial place In Mt. Aabnrn by long cortege. The faneral untie was impressively given by the quartette ot tha old Rowe fctreet Church, consisting of Messrs. Crockett snd Lewis, Mrs. and Mrs.

Several prominent gentlemen at fashionable party appeared in handsome bine cloth dress crate, with gilt battons.

He and his wife drove to the newspaper office at once, and compelled foe editor to deny it. Soon after this, which had made him a little uneasy, a friend of his told him that it was the common talk that James Fisk had enticed bis wife from him, which made him jealous. The Tribune says that Ramsey Is sustained by many other creditors and stockholders of Erie, and neither he nor they intend to be diverted by any snob mock legal doctrines as those promulgated by Judge Balcom from pressing their suit to speedy trial and bringing the conduct of the Eric managers to tbs light of a thorough Investigation. Xn the meantime the appeal taken from llal corns order will be brought to a prompt hearing at tho approaching general term.

Or an increase ot net Income of this over the preceding year of. Wttto the receipts tor the crested to a larger sum than daring the existence of the corporation, the net earnings hve been greater than in any corresponding period in a till larger recto. The increase or the grors receipts has been more than nine per cent, over those or the preceding year, against an increase in the operating expenses of small fraction over four per cent. There have been peid from the receipts certain extraordinary expenditures, as shown by the accounts, amounting to more than firs per cent, of tbe goes income, white the amount ofmatertel on band te larger than that remaining nt the dose of any preceding year. There have been added to the equipment of the road daring the year two new locomotives, one bmlt st onr own works, tor passenger service, the other st the Rhode island Locomotive Works, in Providence, tor freight service.

Four new passenger cars for onr local trains, in addition to tbe tint-class equipment, nearly new, wLich was taken by ns on tbe discontinuance of tb Bristol train, to which more particular reference will be made in subsequent part ot this re-purt, together with oar proportion ol four new cars built expressly for the -dhore Line, have given ns each largely improved accommodations in this important deportment, ss to require but little addition, which has already been contracted for, to mjLKf Jn every coupfei and factory. have also added to oar rollingsteck twenty-nine new freight care, to meet tbe requirements ot his department, tbe returns from wbiuh exhibit the gratifying tact of a net gxin in (he twoeipu ever the previous year of more loan thirty tbuassnd dollars. notwrltliStMidiBgtlie sum of more than forty-eight thcatand dollars, the amount ot the freight receipts of the Bristol Line," now discontinued, ee included In the receipts of tbe former period. We hare purchased and re-rulled daring the year shout fifteen handred and fifty tons of iron and steel rails, of which there has been Laid all tbst the prorer renewal of tbe enuer. fracture bus required, leaving considerable qnsntizy on hand for tbs supply ot another year.

There have seen erected twa pots, one at the Foxboroagh at Mope Station. In addition to these, tha long car nvT uisuvbi ass awissfWM nv in it uig uh uk house at Mansfield and the depot and ear house at India roint. all of which were demolished hr the grerit gale in September, have been entirely roily authority of the act ot the Legislature, and in accordance with a rote ot the Moekbriders, paseed at their hut meeting, rahscription has been made, and tbe aneatraenta thereon paid, on behalf of tlio corporation, fur one hundred and filtv shares of the capital stock or tho ManeSeld A Framincbai al connection ivift give to nx at Mansfield, especially tn the transportation of coal and other freight from oar eligible tide-water at India Point, into tho mann-factnnng region which It opens to os, has added to ths iadarements already existing, for placing onr valuable territory at thus point in a condition to secure to ns the most remnnrratire returns. At this term inns of the road, where for obvious reasons ft te more valuable to ns than If It were nt our terminus in Boston, we have more than fifteen handled feet of river front, the moat favorable in location, and with the deepest water, in tire harbor ot Providence. To obtain connection witn tide water not more eligible than this, the managers ot other railroads leading to Boston having no tide water at either of their termini, have been compelled to inenr enormous expenditures both in roadway eonatrnction and the purchase of rest estate.

Mj of about seawall inclosing an additional area ot more than (UK leet of new tend, which has been tilled fa and made available fbr nse. Ihe inconvenient and inadequate structures for carrying on onr freight inuinessln iSoston, some of which are coeval with the building of tbe road, while others have been erected aa temporary ex-pedienta as its haziness has increased, and being ot wood are mm exposed to the perils of fire, and all of them so situated as to subject ne to great inconvenience and large expense in the handling of onr freight, have been the subject of complaint and discussion for several 'years. The dli turn have nt length determined that the interests ol the corporation arid not admit of longer delay in the erection of a spacious and commodious freight borne. In whten ell onr freight can be handled nnder one roof, with great saving of expense, and in the most convenient and expeditions manner. The tbmulatirms of this long needed structure have been laid, and it will be pressed to completion early in the present year.

Several purchases of real estate have been made daring the year, betide these on the ltau of the road between Boston and Remdvilie fbr the construction ot the third track hereinafter referred to. The principal of these is a tract of about ibiity-two thousnd feet, added to onr station grounds in Boston, to replace that portion of onr territory taken by the city for the widening snd extension of certain streets. The Directors say that by a due regard to ths public interests, by a mnlllpHcslion ot the nnmbcr of trains, this road has helped to build np villages along its line with marvellous rapidity. In accordance with this policy, the Directors have determined to construct a third track fbr street travel. The rails, which It is proposed Shan bs of steel, as being sabject to the moat constant wear, hare been contracted for deliverable In season tabs laid the coming year nd when tho wrork is consummated, an all the advantages it offers th resident oa th line shall be realised, it cannot be doubted that tbe sliglble building sites in that direction, as salubrious snd inviting as any in th vicinity of Boston, now unimproved, will soon bo as rapidly occupied by an enterprising population, who will heooms onr daily passengers, as those of which the thriving town ox Hyde Fhrk te so notable an example.

Th Directors thus refer to the aresagemeate for Now York travel: By an arrangement made with the several railroad and steamboat companies, comprising th Sound Linee," eo-esUed. between Boeton aad New York, which was rendered indispensable aa mesne of terminating tho ruinous competition from which they all Buffered so severely the pre-vtoae year, the eastern terminus of the steamers Bristol aad Frovtdenee wee changed from Bristol to Full River nt the commencement of the season. Tho terms of this arrangement. while it left to ns ear lonc-estabiiabaU connection hy the Btoelngton Une, whose exoellent equipment and management, with Its stanch and commodious steamers, commend it to tho favor both of the travelling public and ths shippers of freight, together with onr land line by the -Bbora Ronte which is fast growing in importance by tbe construction ot tee bridge scram the Connect lent river, soon to be completed, secured to ns also for senes ef years remunerative interest te nil the through passenger bn sin cm of the Fall River Line. The experience wa bare had ef tu rusalM daring thu.

the Hist season of lu operation, satisfactorily shows that it was wise and Judicious adjustment of long-con tinned controversies, and oompatetioaa, whose fruits could only bo disastrous to nil the gaged in them.

Thz Cmv Ixscxnxcxiox baa led to a fearful amount of falsehood. The lying statements of the Spanish authoritiea on the Island ad few parallels even in the traditional falsity of the war bulletins of that nation. If there had been on the average as much troth in their accounts, aa there was in the Indian story, one truth to two lies, the services of the gunboats, composing the Armada," built at New York, would not be required far the suppree-t ion of the rebellion. The inflated, grandiose, exaggerated style attaches to the national character of the Spaniards, and crops out on almost every occasion. What more ludicrous exhibition of this weakness could occur than the assertion of the Havana Journal, that the position of the United States Government with regard to Cuban affairs was assumed because of the dread of a struggle with Spain, that has to purchase its war vessels of American builders.

According to the Government officials conducting the contest against the rebels, there has not been an engagement in which the latter have not received a thorough beating, accompanied with such loss of life as to make it wonderlhl from whence the combatants spring up that confront the freshly arriving expeditions of Spanish troops which are sent from one centre of revolt to pnt down another. Such an atmosphere of equivocation and doubt pervades everything 8panish it is not strange even those marvels of truth-telling, the Washington correspondents, should recently have fallen into the error of representing the Administration as having turned a short corner upon itself and nearly ready to recognize the belligerency of the native Cubans, when it is a question whether the chief part of the fighting has not been done, as yet, on paper. lids proneness to lying is also manifested in a marked degree by the friends of the Cubans in this country. For weeks the papers in the interest of Free Cuba have been manufacturing victories, and slandering the leading officials of the United States Government. Miss Aurora axd Hxr Publishers.

The correspondence given below explains itself. It will interest our readers somewhat, as showing that pleasant relations may, and we imagine generally do, exist between writers of generous dispositions and booksellers who appreciate tbe pens whereby they and their literary friends live and prosper. But what will be especially pleasing are the facts that "little Women' has succeeded iu winning so large a popularity and is still going far and wide on its bright mission to cheer, charm and instruct all who become acquainted with the healthful naturalness of its sparkling pages.

Silhouette Illustrations. If any one ever doubted that quality, in literary illustrative art, is better appreciated than it used to he, tbe fact must be established, in their estimation, by the success of the beau ti Ail edition of Sbakspeazea moat fanciful drama, with exquisite silhouette engravings. lines and forms, in this case, are so purely expressive and highly artistic that the effect is more charming and satisfactory than any that could be produced by the most elaborate color and shading.

We are pleased to learn that this unique gift-book is quite as much admired in New York as here. Fateh Muxdi: or, Modern Science Testifying to the Heavenly Father. This new volume by Dr. Burr, the author of Ecee Coelum, is published today by Nichols A Noyes. The important theme of which it treats, combined with the high reputation of the author, will attract more than usual attention to the work.

It is written with scientific thoroughness, yet in a popular and luminous style. The Opponents or Washington Street Extension advance two somewhat contradictory arguments against that measure. They ray it is Improper to turn any more travel into Washington street, which is already overcrowded, and, in tbe next breath, assert that by the extension, no relief will be afforded to any thoroughfare. The Portrait op Gluck in Bussell A Co.s window, Tremont street, opposite Park street, is frpm tbe Thompson collection of pictures. The coloring is very rich and the expression frill of inspiration.

Loring). Mr. Alger holds the pen of the ready writer, and knows how to please the young folks. Luck and Pluck," the initial number of a new series, is not behind its predecessors by the same author in vivacity, and the manly elements of character which are the admiration of all boys that are worth anything, even if they do not always show by their practice that they possess them. John Oakley, our new hero, has many hard trials in developing the virtue that is the slow growth of adversity.

The way he endures temptation and comes gloriously out of all his troubles crowned with victory, we will leave the readers of the book to find out for themselves. It is a great thing to write good books for children, and arouse the better nature without preaching sermons. Mr. Alger hu the gift; the popularity of his book shows the power of appreciation of his youthfhl readers, c. Bonns Astroxpmical Clock baa attracted much attention.

Of Its value, aa well as of the value of his Chronograph, readers who are interested in such matters can learn from the following paragraphs, which we copy from advance sheets of report of the Judges on Watches, at the late Exhibition of the Hass. Charitable Mechanics Association Messrs. Bond A Bon contribute su Astronomical Clock with an entirely new Detached Escapement, the object of which is to relieve the pendulum tram all possible work, so that ft shall vibrate with absolute freed om.unaflccted by any influence from the clock. Tbit la a moat interesting monument ot the ekiil and ingenuity of the late lamented Hie hard F. Bond, who, when this won-derfol piece ot mechanism was nearly completed, caused its removal to his sick-chamber, that he might superintend it to the end.

It is no trifling evidence of the skill of the workmen of the estab lishment, that they were able to carry out hu views so admirably, from merely verbal instructions. He survived its completion but three days, thus bequeathing to tbs world fitting memento of enduing fame. Besides its escapement, this elock Is also remarkable for its peculiar weights, being simply belle, whlcb, rolling on the cord, exert their whole power on the movement, while those In general nse wsste much of their momentum in overcoming the friction of the pulley. The break circuit is also noticeable, being tbe only one known which baa etc 1 failure dt Ban's manufacture, is intended tor an observatory or other scientlflc purposes, they have aimed at simplicity of style, perfection of workmanship, and accuracy of performance only. orna mentation being out of character in clocks of so high a grade; and indeed it has seldom been our lotto view rack a beantifol and scientific piece of workmanship.

We would call the especial attention of scientific men and astronomers throughout the country to this great place of mechanism. The Chronograph is very much improved and simplified since us first invention about twenty years ago. Tbs Spring Governor, which is its great feature, has proved Itself a perfect regulator for rotary motion, and has been applied to driving docks Air many equatorial telescopes, with sura success that ft will seep the micrometer wire on a star for nearly an hour. It has been Invaluable In stellar photography, where perfect steadiness of motion is an absolute necessity. We award tor the new Clock gold medal; and for tho Chronograph a silver medal.
