Mr.. Lyle offered for adoption the fol-

Rret the death of the Hon. james Struble.
Z late member Of this House, from the

tons be communicated, by the Speaker OF

Resolved, That as a further mark Of re.
spect this House do now adjourn until to.
morrow morning at 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Lytle remarked in substance: The
resolutions. Mr.. Speaker, have announced
10 the House the decease Of James Stru-
bic, 4 member Of this Assembly.
y" had not expected that the duty would
dsvolve on me, Of making any remarks
on this occasion. There are others of the
delegation better versed than | in the per-
sonal history Of our departed friend. but
still, it is with a willing though mourniul
heart, that | lay down my humble tribute
10 his character. Without INDUCING in
- the language Of extravagant eulogium. |
Dan safely and truly say that during the
brief period in which Mr.. Struble and my.
self were associated as representatives oil
Hamilton county. | saw in him much to
admire and nothing TO condemn. As a
member of the Convention which framed
the organic law of the State, and as a
member Of this House, he was a laborious
and faithful servant of the people. He
guradsd the peoples purse and the peo-
Pies treasury with more solicitude than he
did his own.
'sc' II. in conclusion, on this floor, he did
not fill so large a space as others in the
public eye, his influence was felt elsewhere
in the committee room. and in kindly
converse with his friends. As a legislator,
he vas an earnest and sincere believer in
the truths and beauty OF the political creed
he had espoused. As a friend and neigh.
Dor he was universally respected and es.
tesmsd; as a man, his character for prob.
ity and integrity was above suspicion.
He was a gentleman in the broadcast and
loftiest' Specification Of the term-one who
Ioves God and his neighbor as himself.
1 am informed that he met death as
good men do, calmy and without fear.
This dispensation Of Providence, Mr.
Speaker, is not without its moral for this
House. 1t tells US Of our fleeing lives
Of our unavoidable destiny. 1t is the voice
Of God, saying to the angry waters Of po-
litical strife, as it said of old TO the trou.
blsd seas Of Palestine, "Peace be still"
presume sir, that as a matter of course,
tho resolutions will be-. adopted. Let me
hope however, that their passage may be
no idle formula, but that members of this
Assembly may cherish in their hearts
kindly recollection of our departed friend
may initiate the excellent traits OF his char
acter, and mar paderstand Alright this les
son whichP asies has taught US.
