with the resolutions expressive of their con-
fdence in him and his policy, passed by that
Legislature OH the eth. day Of February last,
obtained an interview with he President on

DEATH on DIR. ). F. VAUGHAN.

i
Alta meeting of the Directors Of The Will
mington Institute held July II, 1865, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:-
WHEREAS, II has pleased Almighty God
10 take from US DR.. J. F. VAUGHAN, formerly
President, and at the time of his death one
of the Vice Presidents of the Wilmington
Institute; therefore, be it
Resolved By the Board of Directors, That
bowling humbly to the will of Him who doeth
all things well, and recognizing His wisdom
and mercy even in this affecting and myste-
rious dispensation, we express our deepest
sorrow and pain at the loss of one 10 whom
we were 80 warmly and sincerely attached
hes0tred, That as an officer of tins lnsti-
tute, lie was ever jealous in the discharge OF
his duties; as a citizen he was liberal and
exemplary. He was known for his fidelity
to his country during the time Of her peril,
and for the generous assistance he al all
times rendered to those whom the exlgencies
OF the war placed in need. AS friend he
was always true, and as a man he was dis
tinguished by his rare unselfshness, by his
unspotted integrity, by his exalted character,
by his great intelligence, and by the noble
charity that marked his everyday life. He
occupied prominent place in the affections
of this whole community and bore with him
throughout life its confidence and respect
He manifested towards his fellowamen that
kindness of disposition and goodness of heart
that attracted every one with whom lie was
associated; and TO those who knew him well
he was endeared by the most tender ties OF
friendship and regard Cut down in the
very prime Of his manhood, in the midst of
those to whom his life was charm and
delight, he leaves to us the.remembrance of
his virtues and the example OF lis useful
labors We shall lopg cherish and honor
his memory, earnestly trusting that we may
meet him in a.better land.
Resolged, That we express our earnest
sympathies and coincidence with his family
10 whom this sorrow comes so heavily, and
that a copy of these resolutions, signed by
the President and Secretary, be transmitted
10 them, as an evidence of the esteem in
which we held the lamented deceased, and
the sadness we feel at his early death
Addresses in support of the resolutions
were made by Messrs. John II. Adams, Leigh.
ton Coleman, Samuel NJ. Harrington and
John P. McLear; after which the resolutions
were unanimously adopted BY rising vote.
AS further mark Of respect the Board re-
solved to attend the funeral in body, and
ordered the Institute TO be closed during the
funeral services, and adjourned. without
transacting any other business.
