lowing revolutions, which we find in
The Kent News, were adopted. They
were presented by Hon. J. 4. Pearce
in an eloquent address, to which Judge
Chambers feelingly responded:
ReSoired, That the members of this
Bar express their sincere regret at the
dissolution ola Court, the members OF
which have SO many years, discharged
the duties Of their office with such sig
nal ability, judicial learn ing, impartial
ity aud courtesy.
Resolred, In taking leave of our es-
teemed fellow cities, the Hon. E. f.
Chambers, as Chief Judge of the Judi
ciai District, whose relations with the
Bar, are about to cease, by his withdraw
al from the labors of the Bench, We feel
it due to him to express our deep sense
OF the loss of his services to the public
and the profession. The Par has ever
recogniz, d in him a magistrate Of sim
gular judicial capacity, Of sound learn
ing, OF strict fidelity, Of untiring indus
try and the utmost promptitudc in the
despatch OF business They feel bound
also TO say that our Chief Justice has
been not less distinguished by that which
is perhaps the highest judicial praise
lirmness Of judgment which has ever
been unawed by c!amor, and unmoved
by the Influences, which have sometimes
disturbed The cause Of justice elsewhere.
The bar part frcm him with the sin
crrest admiration for his judicial char
acter, deep gratitude for his long and
faithful services and the most cordial
wishes for his health and happiness in
pirate life.
ReHired, That in parting with the
Hon. ?. B. Hopper and the Hon. J. B.
EcclcSton, as Associates, we are graft
fed by the conviction, that the new
fe DIS OF labor to which they lave been
called, will be adorned by services as
distinguished, as have characterised
them in the stations from which they are
now TO be separated.
ia Mr.. John Dix writes from Somer-
set county to the Baltimore Sun as fol-
lows: "On the 25th of November,
female Of 10 years old died suddenly in
my school. She asked permission tore
tire few minutes before 10 A. NJ
After having rccited her lessons, as usu-
AL and after walking few PAGES from
the door, she foiuted. On being imme-
datcly taken up, and laid softly down
in the schoolhou5e, she expired. What
is most remarkable, when she awoke
that morning, she told her mother that
she dreamed that she had went to school
and died, and was carr d to her aunt's,
which actually and literally came to
pass the same day.
u Referring to the killing Of the
negro Reason by 7. X. Lockrrman,
mentioned last week, The Easton Ga
zet,e remarks ''This unfortunate affair is
a serious and awful lesson to those, es-
pecially youths, who use Intoxicating
liquors. When sober, Lockerman was
frank and kind hearted, but when drunk,
as he was on this occasion, he allowed
his passions to control his actions. BY
the use OF Intoxicating liquors he is now
all outcast, a fugitive from justice, sub
lect at any moment TO be arrested and
tried for his life, instead of being re-
spccted and beloved, and, in the future,
an influential and talented citizen"
[IJ~The Centreville Times says: "Mr
George S Palmer was elected assistant
teacher in the Centreville Academy 4

by the resignation Of Mr.. 7. Ashcom
Mr. Palmer brings with him considera-
bic experience and has all the qualltlca-
tons necessary to make useful and
popular teacher"

granted them by the Maryland Coloni-
cation Society, in the Liberia Packet,
out and book to the United States, The
Cambridge Democrat says:
"They have made a report of the
country, in which they speak very IA
vorabs, and it is their intention speedi-
