After reading the minutes, thjs morning
the committee appointed to draw up rasolu-
tions in reference to the deaths Of members
and officers since the meeting in March
last, made their report through Major Ro'-
lins. the Chairran. who said, that in sub
hitting this report, he could not refrain from
few relcct;on-. When in session eight
months ago a valued member was taken
away. On the Sth Of March we bid each
other adieu and returned 10 our homes
After the summer was passed, we expected
to meet again, but within seven months five
officers, including two members, had been
cut down by death. We have been called
upon TO mourn tie death of man, the Sec
ond in Office IN the State. Wilson Brown
was known throughout the State as high
minded and trusty officer. He Ind met him
in the council Of the State. eighteen years
ago, and lie could bear testimony to his dig
nitv and kindness Of heart. He passed
through various Offices, and was snatched
by death whom enjoying the full honOrs Of
Lieutenant Governor.
Major Rollins also paid meri'cl tribute
, 10 the memory Of Micaiah 3. Uarrison.-
. He had known him for twenty-five years.
, as a Clerk in this House and various other
Offices, and had always conducted himself
as an officer and gentleman; but it wGs al
r home where his excelencics shono most con-
, spicuous. and he believed no more noble
/ heart ever beat in mans bosom than in
: that Of Bucl; Harrison. as he was familiarly
@ called. And then there was our worthy
: and venerable Door-keepcr, Richard b.
= Jackson, who, for number Of years, held
c the situation Of Door Keeper Of this House,
{ and of the hundreds who knew him, all
V will bear testimony TO the uniform kindness
d Of the cold man. These, however, ihs
e speaker added, died at home, surrounded
By all the sacred influences and comforts o
IS their families; but the others were Un;imely
Il snatohcd by tie hand Of death. and hurried
