A Funeral in Busy Broadway.

A funeral procession that tries to go down Broadway in the early afternoon of a busy day usually Jases its identity as a procession before it gets to Canal Street On Wednesday last a reporter noted that it took seven carriages ten minutes to pass a point near Broome Street The hearse passed first If was followed by a truck filled with hides. Three horse-cars slowly rolled after the truck, and then came a heterogeneous Jot of vehicles and another carriage. It was an incongruou* spectacle—death in the midst of life—a funeral sandwiched between the boisterous activity of metropolitan activity.—New York Sun.
