The remains of Beecher lay in state in Plymouth Church throughout the night. I'lags are at half -mast on u'l public build iiigs and on nearly all business houses. The principal business places were closed from 10..10 a.m. until the close of the servii«8 at the chiirch. None were admitted into the chur< h but those holding tickets. About 10 a.m. the seats were tilled. The pulpit presented the appearam* of a gigantic llower bed. Among those presiuit were 40 clergymen from New York, Dr. McGlynn, President Oleaiia, of the Board of ,Mder men, Lieut, (jov. Jones, Henry George, Senator Kvarts and Col. Fackner, of the l.Uh Heginient, committees from the New iork Press Club, Cotton, Ktock and Pro duce Kxchanges, Hiiion League Club and pastors of the colored churches in Brook lyii. Mrs. lieeclicr and her children were not present. Urs. ilall and Halliday occii piod the pulpit. The former read theo|)en ing Hcntence of the Kpiscopal burial scrviie with faltering voice. Thechoir, nearly hidden behind a bank uf calla lilies, then sang the burial chant. Dr. Hall then read the Scripture lesson. The choir rendered the anthem in a beautiful manner, the ijuar tette being supplemented by a large chorus. Throughout the church people were visibly alTected. Dr. Hall then read his address from manuscript. Hi'veral times he inter rupted himself by his emotion, and the tears of tl e congregation fell fast as the preacher s[)oke lovingly and trustingly of their departed pastor. When Dr. Hall's address was tiiiished a I«'rfect burst of |K'iit-upeniotioiiBucceeded, and nearly every one in the church wept. Dr. Halliday followed with prayer, and the choir sang. " .lesus. Lover of .My Soul, " after which the anthem " I Heard a Voice," which was coni|K)He<i for this occasion, was giseii. Following this was thebenediction. The recessional hymn, " Hark '. Hark ' My Siml." was sung, and the vast congn gHtitni departed from the churidi, leaving tlie remains of their pastor under the guard of I'lytiioiith Company, who will constitute the watch until the body is taken totin'en wiskI tomorrow. When the congregation had dis|)ersed the iloors were thrown oixn to the public to view the remains.

This large differ ence is cliielly coiiliiie<i to five out of 'SA cases brought before the arbitrators. In these live cases the principal evidence rested on the incomes of the proprietors derived from charges made to the public visiting the Falls. While the Commissioners did not antici pate so large a ditference Ix'tween the amounts offered by them and the amounts awarded by the arbitrators, they cannot but recogiii<ie the strength of the evidence on which the awards are founded as afford ing prixif of the very large number of visit- ors to the Falls, and which sup^iorta the view expresstsl bv them in their former reports of the undertakiiig Ixicoming self sustaining. The amount to be provided to pay for the land, according to the award, being in excess of that offerwi by the Com- missioners, compels them to increase the total anioiint necessary to carry out the Niagara Falls Park project by 8'2.'>,000, making the total amount rtspiired V.5°J.0,(XX). During the past year the (^nnimiasioners endeavored to obtain as reliable iiiforina- tion as (lOHsible, from various sources, of the annual number of visitors to the Falls, and as far as that could be ascertained, the average iinmber for a iH'riixl of several years may be safely estimated as Ix'tween °iOO,<NMI and 2.'>0,00b ix<r annum- Notwithstanding that a little larger amount will be reipiired for the pur |Kise of carrying out the projcst, the Com imssinners adhere to the recommendation made in their report of Ulth March, IHHtl, that the Park shall Ix' absolutely fre»« to all visitors who enter it to enjoy the natural beauties and such views as it affords with uiit artificial aid, not needing machiiu;ry. structures, guides, etc . but they advi.se that the maximum charge t<i visitors who desire lo see all the magniticent and vvoMilorfiil sights, risjiiiriiig guiiles and artilicial aid, shall be .'>U cents instead of :t(l cents. Based on such charge, it will re i|iiire K'J.

A Fickle Maiden's Room Invitded at MKht. Her Long Hair Cut Off. aad Her Fare Disli|;ured. This village is in a commotion over the cruel but novel punishment inflicted ou a young lady of this place because of her re- jection of her lover, writes a Farnsdale.Pa-, correspondent of the New York .Su/i. The little town is composed of about twenty families, who have lived in peace for almost as many years. Prominent among them are the Dunkelbergers and Holikeeers, who were ou the mo<*t intimate terms, not because their farms were adjoining, but because the nuptials of Frederick Holiktffer and Miss Mame r)unkelberger had been announced. This union had been a pre- arranged affair by the parentsyears ago. The courtship, therefore, of the young couple had been going on since their school days. It was expressly stipulated by the parents of Fred that he should not marry before he attained his 'Jlst birthday, which occurs on March •i'Jnd. These facts were well known to all the inhabitants of the place, and the approaching marriage did not create any excitement outside of the ordinary com- ment in such oases. Mame, as the intended bride was called by her lady f rinds, was a lively, bright, good- looking girl of 18, and although born at Farnsdale, she cultivated a desire for more society and life than the little country town could give her. Having an aunt living in Newark, N. J., she made fre<juent and pro- longed visits to her, much to the annoy- ance of Fred, whose disposition was directly opposite that of the girl's. He reproached her more than once for her long absence from home, but in this he assumed such a dictatorial attitude that the young lady refused to accept further advice from him, and subseipiently declared that a union between them could never take place. She forthwith started on a visit to her aunt's, leaving her lover in a very unhappy state of mind. The news of the quarrel soon spread, and conjectures were many as to the cause of it. Those intimate with the family said th.at the tickle-hearted girl had transferred heraffec tioiis to a Newark man. and that she gloried in tho opjxirtunity thus offered by F'red to break the engagement with liim. The young man became desperate, and fears wereentertained that he woulddohim self bodily harm, though he had quietly re solveil that he would make her suffer for the misery she had caused him. Mean- while the girl roturiie<l home for the pur pose of arranging for her permanent resi- denize with her aunt in Newark, at the same time refusing every effort to bring about a re<:onciliation with her lover. She naniwi Washington's birthday as the time of her departure.
