with general debility under which he hss suffered for nearly year, caused his death. Ills remains were brought to this town on Saturday last; and on Sunday were followed by his surviving relations, and large com course of friends and neighbours, to the grave. It is not the lot of all men, placed in the same walks of life, tO secure to them selves the warmest love and respect of a large community. This was preeminently the case with Judge Holmes. In peeuniary concerns he has experienced prosperity and diversity; yet he was at all times the same liberal bene- factor of the poor, who were never driven away frem his door empty, and the same pat ron and friend of every enlightened and pub Ilc spirited undertaking Although in his lat- ter years he was not wealthy, yet no man was more willing to give both to public and private benefaciions than himself. The words of inspirations, ''The poor ye shall always have with you," were believed by him to con- tam an important meaning. and we believe he Eever felt disposed to evade this meaning, or shrink from the dutyswhich it enioined.- In every duty in life,--as son,--a hnsband,- tather,-a judge,-a citizen,--he manifested the same amiabe disposition, tempered with stern integrity and love for truth ,-he was atiahie, yet not cOnceited, ,-hospitable, yet not ostentatious,- charitable yet not pharisaical, -pious, yet not hypocritcal. The whole of his character may be summed up in this short, comprehensive sentence, "He was good man ;'-and although the circumstaa- ces of his death were attended with some aggravating incidents, in being called to endure pain, and suffering and death, in small pubic house, and out of the reach of those comforts and sympathies which would have consoled him in his own dwelling. his friends have the consolation of refiecting that. notwithstanding these outward affections he had peace within; and that he gave good as- surance that that Spiri. which had taught him to trust in the Redeemer, was supporting him in his passage through the dark valley and shadow of dcath.''

 The publication in your last weeks paper signed J. Barnes. containing, as it does, little but vague insinuation and scurrility, is justly entitled only to silent contempt. The undersigned think proper however, to submit to the public. through the medium of your next paper, the following brief statement of facts in relation to the subject alluded to. The undersigned did not bring forward the resolutions alluded to, neither had they any agency whatever in originating them, nor did they know that any such measure was con templated, until the resolutions were handed to the chair by another member.
 As to the state of the meeting, it consisted of full average of the number of members usually attending the annual meetings of the Medical Society of the County. The whole number who had been present during the day, with perhaps single exception were in attendance when the subject of the resolutions was discussed, and as has been published from tho records of the Society, voted unan- imously in their favour, "smiies" and other equally authentic sources of information to the contrary notwithstanding.
