A Memorable Funeral occurred during Anniversary week; that of Ellis Gray Loring, a man to whose refined and solid worth, no eulogy can do justice. He died suddenly of pleurisy, on the 24th ult., and his funeral took place at 4 P.M. on the 26th. He was connected with Rev. James Freeman Clarke’s Society, who gave an appropriate address, and was followed worthily by Hon. Josiah Quincy, Jr. The death of such a man is sorrowful to the bereaved, but glorious and blessed to himself. Like thousands, besides his intimate friends, we have personal reasons to revere his memory. – Practical Christian
