oldes, members of the Corporation of his
Alma Mater. He has always taken q
lively and intelligent interest in the sub
iact Of eIucab, m; and the common schools,
and especially the Seminary and Medical
colege in his own I, own have ever found
in him one of the most considerable, liberal
and efficient of their patrt "', II ''' Wv
interests of his town, Judge Howe was a
wise counsellor and generous promoter
of all good things. From his we'll proved
wisdom and integrity it may readily pe
supposed that he was often consulted y
those who wanted counsel and aid, and
that many important trusts were commit

is believed that none who confded in him
ever complained of his fidelity and up
rightness.
Beyond his own town, Judge Howe
was known and honored. While the
Governors Council was an institution
of the State, he long held the Office OF
councillor, and after the council was ahol-
isbed was member of the iirst Senate
which was substituted pits place, and he
was also for many years Assistant Judge
Of the Rutland County Court.
Judge Howe was,-as he believed all
men ought to be, and desired that all men
should be,-a humble follower of the LORD
Jasus Christ. His religion was earnest
= T and in it was guidance for his life and sup
! mort IN his death. And he has gone, ="
