At meeting of the Sophomore Glass
in Middlebury College, March 18th
1854, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted
Whereas, In the inscrutablo wisdom
of Providence, JAMES WALLACE FRAN
CTS. one of our number, has been sud
denly and prcmaturely called away by
death during our last college vacation !,
and whereas, upon re-assembling, our
feelings in view Of this sad bereavo-
mcnt prompt us to pay some appropriate
tribute to his memory therefore,
RcSolrcd, That we learned with deep
regret of the early death of our class
mate, who, by his uniform amiabilty of
disposition, his high attachments as .
scholar, his fine social feelings, and above
all by his fcrvent and unobtrusive piety
attended by almost unexampled patience
and resignation under severe and con
slant bodily affection, had won from US
all our earnest attachment, and was rem
dcred TO us indeed brother beloved
Resotred That we deeply sympathzc
with his mourning friends in this sad af
Fiction, and, like them, lament that he
has been so soon removed from the world,
which he lived but to adorn; yet we re-
joice that We can share with them the
strong assurance that our loss is his cv-
erlasting gain; that he has exchanged
the sufferngs, tolls and anxieties of earth
for the repose and bliss of heaven.
ReSolred, That we recognize in this
affective Providence, a solemn admoni-
tion to us to be also ready, that when
we are called upon to pass through
deaths dread trial, we may say with
him I" | am ready to die and be with
my Savior
Resolrcd. That We transmit to the
friends of the deceased a copy of these
resolutions, and also ono to tho Middle
bury Register for publication.

not only party questions, but every
thing that relates to the action of Leg

Of state and national executives. They
imagine all questions of public interest
are to be understood by " old fogics,"
and professional men. They shun all
statements of facts, and "never read

sober articles Of argument and review,
