as a kindness (for his action was courteously dispensed 
with), by a large number of the most influential citizens 
of Newark and vicinity, as soon as they understood the

a sufficient refutation of the absurd slander that Herbert

The subscribers, desirous of showing their regard for the Rev. 
Henry B. Sherman, of Belleville, and especially their admiration of 
his conduct at the funeral of the late Henry W. Herbert, in his wil¬ 
lingness to perform some Christian ceremony over the grave of the 
deceased, cheerfully contribute to the amount necessary to procure a 
suitable testimonial.
