The Rev. Dr. Ogilby then said that portion of the burial service commencing

"Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live."

After which Rev. Mr. Montgomery read that portion committing the body to the ground, the sexton casting the earth on the coffin. The choir then sang the anthem from Rev. xiv. 13.

"I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, Write, from henceforth blessed are the dead who die in the Lord: even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors."

The concluding prayers were then said by the Rev. Mr. Montgomery, when the procession moved to the family vault, in the same order in which it had entered, the organ playing the Dead March in Saul. Arrived at the vault, the coffin was lowered, and the vault covered up.

The crowd then slowly dispersed. The coffin was of plain mahogany, with silver handles and studs, and bore this simple inscription :

JOHN DUER,

Born, October 7, 1782;

Died, Aug. 8, 1858.
