THE DMATM Of MIL HAUL.

Before commeitCi-ini-ii;lm-siness--of the Board,
Dr. Dana said that upon the death of any member of
this Council, a vote of condolence with the bereaved
family had generally been passed. Thin custom had been
restricted in this town to members of the Council, but in
other important places, when any person had died who
had been uaeful to his town, this mark of reaped was
generally extended to his family. The late Mr. Hare had
filled the office of Chief Magistrate, and he hail also been
useful as the Clerk to the Board of Guardians of Weymouth
Union, aivl he (Dr. Drew) thought they should pass • vote
of condolence with his wife and family. He then moved
—" That the members of this Corporation in Council
assembled desire to express their sincere condolence with
Mrs. Hare in the sad and irreparable loss she has sustained
by the death of her late husband, and they trust that
Providence who has never forsaken the fatherless and the
widow, will sustain and comfort her in her affliction and
bereavement." . .

...... -
Mr. THOMAS very cordially Reconde,l the proposal. It
was with very considerable pain that he heard of the
Irreparable Ices sustained in the death of their friend Mr.
Hare. He had sat side by side with him, and bore testi-
mony to his worth, and he remembered that when Mr.
Hare was Mayor, he had moved a vote of condolence, and
little did he (Mr. Thomas) think that he should have to
take part in such a vote on account of Mr. Hare's death ;
they little knew when they were called upon to take part
in occasions like this.—Mr. Thmusa, after some further
remarks, which his emotion prevented from being heard,
aaid he hal • melancholy eleasure in seconding the vote
of condolence proposed by Dr. Drew.
Mr. ATLINO supported the motion of Mr. Thomas;_ he
had been associated for a great number of yews with Mr.
Hare • he remembered his birth, and during the whole of
everything he had had to do with Mr. Hare
the period,
had been of the most satisfactory nature. He had found
him cheerful as • friend and always ready to give good
advice. He therefore cordially agreed with the motion.
The vote was carried unanimously.
