The GRAVE OF JUDGE j. J. DAN1E1.-We learn
from a friend that the grave of Judge Daniel in
the cemetery near this city, has no mark of any
KIND to designate where he lies, and that an en-
closure mas been run across his grave It is sad
thing that the final resting place of so great and
good man should be thus neglected We feel
sure it is only necessary to call attention to it. to
insure such steps will lead to suitable tomb
stone or monument for one who among the
ablest OF our Jurlsts and purest of our statesmen
The Bar of the State should be proud of the op-
portunity to erect q monument to his memory:
especially learn his family desired to remove
his remains to Halifax, but were induced by the
Bar to permit them to remain here, that they
might testify their regard for his memory by erec-
ting monument over them.-Ral Standard.
