Funeral of Bishop Clark Held at St. Pauls Cincinnati
The funeral for Bishop Clark of the Methodist Episcopal Church was held at St. Pauls Church in Cincinnati last Friday. Bishop Jones delivered the funeral sermon, with many clergymen and laymen in attendance. The Pittsburg Commercial notes the New York Herald’s continued bid for General Sherman as Democratic candidate, though he is ineligible due to his oath to support the U.S. Constitution and Government. Washburne, minister to France, reports fighting in remote areas of Paris as he departs. A Massachusetts man named White, jailed for a Shutesbury murder, surrendered to a officer with a promise of half the reward, hoping for light punishment, but now fears hanging remains likely.
