The first burial of a uember of the Patrons of Husbandry with the honors of the order, that has oorne to * our no tice, took place a few days since in Kickpaoo, when the remains,of Henry Bolin were consigned to their last rest ing plaee with all the pomp and funer al pageant of tho Granger burial hot vio?. Mr. Bolin was ? prominon* mem ber, and the at ten dan ca was very large, some 400 persons being present. The programme of the burial was about as follows. On tearing the residence of the do crastrd, the hc&rsc which oooUined the remains was flanked on either side by three pall bnarers, who walked with uncovered heads and regalias draped iu mourning. Following the hoarse came the relatives of tho deceased, and next marched the Sisters of the Order clad in full regalia. The Brothers came next, and following them tho rait c tu course of people, who had ome from far and near to witness tho coromonies. The remain* were first taken to tho chureh, wore a priest went through a ceremony peculiar to the Catholic church, of which tho deceased was a member. Whou the oxcrcise had been eoneluded, the proces sion took up its inarch for the cemetery where the Grangor funeral rites were performed. The coffin was placed on supports directly over the open gravo aud remained there uitil the imprcmivo and interesting servioo wsi concluded: (i. B. Coffin, Master of the Franklin Crange, conducted the coromouies. When tho brvthera aud sisters of the grange of which the deceased was a member, had assemble! ab mt the grave the Master read a solcction fr>m the burial ritual, followed by a soco 11 selej tion by the Chaplin, and then the ui uu hers repeated slowly and solemnly tho Loiu\? tr.v or, closing with a beaut it u! and appropriate hymn. Thi?Bro'.h or 4 of the Order then stepped to.thj grave \ and threw into tho opening several bou quets of flowcra and cvcrgrcon<. A .-ho. t, but powerful a ldro4* was next d<3 livored by the Chaplain- While the coffin was being lowered into th; gr*vo, a beautiful aud soul iuspiriug by in was sung, and during thesiugin* the sitters strewed bouquets of flowers upon the descending eofH i ua'il it reached the wooden box at tho bottom of the grave. The Master then sprinkled the portion of dirt thrown from the grave over tbo coffin, and the service closed with tho solemn bouediutiou of tho* Chaplain.

This was tho first burial of a Granger in the oounty, aud, if wo are currently informed, in the State?that is, with the ceremonies of the Order. A Terrible Scene. Tmmoufle damage ?as done in Sher brooke, Guysborough County, N. S., by j a frenhet. The St. Mary's River was swollen by the rain and thaw. A cou- ' pie of miles abr.ro Sherbrooke there is a natural dam of rocks across the rirer, beyond which for several miles it is call ed Still water. Tho ice on tho rirer broke up in consequence of the lreshot, and flooded the whole of the valley. On tho loft bank of the river where Sher ! brooke is situated the scene was a fear ful one. The flood brought down thou sand of tons of ice and great number of logs. Whole trees were nprootcd from tho banks in the course of the torrent. The solid ice below the village remain ed firm, and the flats upon which Sher brooke stands, became a boiling sea. Boats and canoes wore in demand. Eve ry house was flooded. Tho cattle were driven out of town by persons on horse - dack. Tho women children, and aged people were taken away in boats. Many families abandoned their hoascs alto gether, while others took refuge in the upper storios. Two bridges in tho vil lage, and a large bridge over the St. Mary's River, are gone. A new vessel nearly roady for launching was destroy ed, and much timbor carried away. The day after the flood the mountaius of ico and tho logs, trees a*id other debris bo came frozen solid, so that tho village is now imbedded in s froren sea. The ruin is indescribable; it extends a mile -aid a half in length, by a mile in breadth In the event of a sudden thaw the vil lage will be quite destroped.
