Celebration at Portsmouth--The Portsmouth Rifle Company, commanded by Captain William P. Young, met at their usual parade ground, about half past 9 o'clock in the morning of the 4th inst. to comemmorate the Anniversary of their Country's freedom. After performing some handsom evolutions, with that promptness and precision which distinguish the well trained soldier, they marched to the Point near the Ferry Wharf and fired a National Salute, in their accustomed good style. Thence they moved to the Baptist Meeting House, where an appropriate discourse was delivered by the Rev'd Mr. Woodson, after which they repaired to the Cottage, and with a number of their fellow citizens, partook of a sumptuous dinner, prepared for the occasion by Mr. Wm. Outten. Major John Kay presided, assisted by Lieut. Edwards. A number of patriotic sentimental toasts gave additional zest to the entertainment, and at half past 4 o'clock the company retired in very good order, with the pleasing reflection that the occasion was marked by no excess, nor any occurrence calculated to give alloy to this "feast of reason."

Odd Fellow's Funeral--The Odd Fellows yesterday paid the last tribute of respect to their deceased brother, Mr. William Outten. The funeral sermon was preached at the family residence on Dinwiddie street, by Rev. Chas. H. Hall, after which the corpse was borne to the new cemetery, where the solemn services of the Order of which he was a member were performed. The procession was full and may be regarded as representing the high estimate in which the deceased was held here.--Portsmouth Transcript26.

Funeral Solemonities--The transcript says, the funeral of Mr. William Outten, which took place last Sunday, was arranged according to the request of the deceased. The family servants, thirty or forty in number, occupied positions in the procession next to the hearse, and we are told by a friend who attended the rites and the graveyard, that he never witnessed more sincere grief than was evinced by them at the loss of their master. Bob Butt, the "Old Sexton", who has been "gathering them in" for long years agone, conducted the arrangement.

Also membranous angina. An acute infectious disease characterized by inflammation and the formation of a thick covering on the mucous membranes of the throat and nose. General symptoms included fever, weakness of the heart, and rapidly developing anemia, later understood to be caused by poisons given off from the bacteria responsible for the initiation of the disease. Severe epidemics were reported in different parts of Europe during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. It was a disease of childhood and very fatal. Outbreaks continued throughout the world until the middle of the 20th century. 3197Marriage Notes (Margaret Wright Manning)
