room, when A. j. Bannon, esq, being called to pre-
sde and the object of the meeting having been stated
on motion o. d. Higgins, esq., the following resolutions
adopted: .H..
ResoIced That the intelligence of the sudden and I'M
expected demise of Aaron Ogden esq late Fourth
Auditor of the Treasury has penetrated hearts with
grief and thrown around cloud of sadness and gloom
that will not soon be removed We feel that we have
been bereaved not only of official superior but that
in him we have lost friend, who by his uniform kind
ness courtesy and gentleness had bound to himself by
strong attachment, all with whom he held official conne1
ion The government also has lost officer of sterling
integrity and distinguished intelligence and one whose
minute and thorough acquaintance with all the details
of his official duty afforded him the ability to per-
form with great facility himself and to the satisfaction
oil all concerned the responsible and often very difficult
duties of his station But the consideration that most
affords consolation to his friends under their bereavc
ment and which sotens the pognancy of their grief il
the fact that their departed friend had long period
past and to the day of his DEATH both by his open pro-
iesson and by the purity and consistent moral excellence
OF his life and actions set forth and illustrated the char
acter of Christian gentleman To his bercaved widow
and family his loss irreparable and them we beg to
be allowed the expression of deep sense of their ac
tion and to tender to them coincidence and SYM
pathy.
Resol0al That D. Higgens and G. NJ Head esqs., be

the deceased the proceedings of this meeting and to ur
