R. from Port Wayne uud Alien county, went up by the noon train yufilcrday to ntlond the funeral of Col. Joseph K’ Dodge. Arriving ut Warsaw at 1:30, they trera mnrsliallwl in procession, nnder tins lend of Mayor Zollinger, nod marched lo the Into residence of Colonel Dodge. The remains lay in date in the front room of tho borae, nnd us hifi old comrades passed by and saw the cmncintcd form oi one whom Uiey liad known when in full health, there were many evidences of deep feeling. A large midieure was assembled on the lawn in front oi the house, and promptly nt 2:S0 p. in. the funeral serviecK wore commenced by the singing of the hymn, Nearer My God to Tlicc,” nnd the reading oi the flret nineteen verses of the Hth chapter of John. Tho hymn mid euriplnru lcssuu hc:u selected by the two dmig.itera of Col. Dodge, the only members of bis family that survive him. Tho excjvisea were conducted by Rev, S. K. Light, of the M. E. church of Warsaw, awlBted by Rev. A. Laing, formerly u member ol tho Thirtieth regiment, but now pus*or of the UmverBallhl church of Joliet, Illinois. Tire Rev. Mr. Light’s discourse was a brief iuneral sermon, directed to the living and their duties rather than lo a eulogy of the dead. At the close of this discourse Rev. losinggave tbo following biography of the do-ceiined:Joseph B. Dadge was horn at Starkey's corners, Gates comity, New York.

His great grandfather, with four of hin brothers, fought for ILe independence of the American colonies; and both of his grandfathers were soldiers in tho wax of 1812. Joseph’s father, JonaeDodge., was a dfetinguiehnd minister of the Moth odist Episcopal elinroh and uu-dex the itinerant system of that denomi-nniion, onr hero spent portions of JtiBboyhood in Jlinira, Buffalo, Lyons, Lock-port and Rochester, in all of whichnlfices be attended the public bcIkjoIs. Jn 1847 he attended the Genesee IVeslcywi .Seminary nt Lima. N. Y., and entered college there the following year. Mr. Dodge came to Warsaw in September, 1848. Tn 1853 he wns married to Lydia L. Cook, a daughter of John Cook, ore nf the curliest sellleisni this county. Tn LS5G Col. Dodge was elected Ireueurcr of this county, and was reelected iu JS5h. When the war of the robellioi: began in 18G1, ho hub! sled in mining men for the service, went to Camp Allen, at Fort Wavne, at the head of n company recruited by himself— Company “B.! On its organization Mr. Dodge vaa made lieu tenant-colonel of the thirlielli regiment, and after tlie lamented death of’Gol. Bnss, from a wound received at the battle of Shiloh, he won nrumoled lo the colonelcy, and ecrveu his three years in that capacity.Hia ofter career is known to bis old comrades and neighbors here, lie made his home in this city, went out nnd iu before you, and now, after more Uiuit a quarter of a century ol pcbcc and proRperily for tho country bo served so well, we are root to pay our laal tribute to hie worth and lay him away for bin long reel in yonder ccmotery.Proceeding llieuco lo npuak of tho characteristics of Colonel Dodge, he Wild in sul)5tancc thnt he wuh a man of pluiu, Hiuiplu, uualTecled mauuera, with little of dash, or of what is commonly termed persona, magnetism. In uauip it would lioruly be 6nid of him that he was pos-fcased of lliat kiud of popularity that luspired his men witli an inieubt per-Bonal admiration for him. Home.men like Sheridan had that dash that brought a cheer and hurrah from Ibe army when eycr they appeared in front of their lines. Grant,, however, was not of that nature. Hie success came by virtue of his inherent qualities as a man or plain, practical common toueo, working over ami unflinchingly toward tho accomplishment. of the desired end, Colonel Dodge’s character was modelled rather on the style of Genera! Grant.1 do not hesitate, said Mr. Laing, to eay of Colonel Dodge that he was the coolest man under Are thnt I oyer saw. ilia cheek did not u.ime with excitement nor blanch with fear in the deadly conflict.

Other* might trombie, or walk with donncouL eye or dejected mein, Dodge showed no such sign. He walked the lino nnrulilcd, unpc-ri urlwi. Such men me not icir-gotten. Their men do not cense to admire the commanders who stood out boldly when olherw quailed.Another characteristic of Col. locl:rc was his faithfulness 10 his friends, I Jis friendly clasp did not urow cold when misfarrnne cuinic. to his roinradcs. Buck friendship as bin kxiCAV no such uLangc. in tlie army il was carried right, up to the line of battle, and in peace it warmed big heart It* all, irrespective of their good or ill fortune.
