IL MEMoRhM-Wo have received a
copy of pamphlet printed at the
Freeman Office, Montpelier, entitled
proceedings of the Washington coun-
ty Bar in relation to the deaths of the
Hon. Lucius b. Peck. and Luther
Horny, Esq, at March Term, 1867
Published by vote of the Bar, PIP. 81.
The address of the Hon Timothy
p. Red6eld admirable in tone, schol-
arlike in language, and feeling in its
portraiture of character, is printed at
length with the excellent resolutions
reported to the Bar by Messrs. Chas.
Reed, Benjamin +. Fi6eld and l.. L..
Durant, a committee designated for
that purpose. The biographical no
tice of Mr. Peck, by his late partner,
b. f. Fiji cid, Esq, OF MontI elier, is n
delineation of his character, and a
capital epitome of his political life and
professional labors. 1t is well worthy
of the man and the occasion. Hon.
Lucius b. Peck was n model lawyer,
and as such, has been happily memo
rallied by his friend and law partner,
Mr.. Fifeld, who succeeds to large
and lucrative business, in the counties
of Washington and Orange.
Mr.. Durant gives a brief but thor
ough and co dial sketch of the life and
professional character of his friend,
Luther Henry, Esq, of Waterbury -
speaking in just and encominstic
terms of his energy, ability ana liber-
atty, not only i'll his profession, but
in other branches of business. He
mentions, in high and mcrited terms,
his last public gift to his professional
brethren of one thousand dollars as q
fund to procure IA library for the
Washington County Bar. All of these
addresses reflect great credit upon the
legal profession of the Washington
County Bar, and we are glad that
they have been published, and, we
trust, they will be widely distributed.
The pamphlet does not give us quite
enough Of genealogical data to CRAFTY
our individual taste. but it will be
welcome, we doubt not, to the Log 4,
profession generally. and to the many
friends of those who arc SO happily
commemOrated.

Startling Tragedy in Albany.
One of the Members of tho Constitutional
Convention Murdered

ALBANY, y. y, June 4.
The Hon. j.. Harris Hiscox, Re
publican member of the Constitutional
Convention now assembled in this
city, was shot dead in the Stanwix
hall at about half past eight this even
ing. His assassin is General Cole,
lumber dealer in Syracuse, and he
talks deliberately of the deed, and says
he can Justify it. At the hour above
named Hiscox was standing in the
Iarg reception room of the hotel, near
the Clerks desk, having on his Slip
pers, and apparently about to retire.
Cole, who was sitting near by rose,
and approaching Hiscox, made some
remark, which was not distincly over
heard by those present, and immedi-
ately thereafter drew small pistol
and presenting it at Hiscoxs head
fired, the ball entering near the right
eye. Hiscox fell back senseless, the
wound bleeding profusely. He expired
within thirty minutes. After shoot
ing, Cole remarked that Hiscox had
been his friend. but that while he
(Cole) was in the army, where he rose
to the rank of General in the cavalry
service, Hiscox had raped his wife, aud
he added, "and | have the evidence
now in my pocket"
He quietly awaited the coming Of
the police and was conveyed to the
thnd district station house.

] .. Realize that ne who earns six
pence per day more than. he spends
must get rich, while he who spends
siXpence more than he earns must
become poor. This is very hack
neyed truth but we shall never be
done needing its repetition. Hun
dreds of thousands are not only
poor but wretched to-day, simply
because they fail to comprehend or
will not heed it. We Americans
are not only an extravagant but an
ostentatiOus people. We spend too
much time on our own stomacns
and our neighbours eyes. We are
continually in not water, not be-
cause we cannot live in comfort on
our means, but because we persist
in spending more than we need or
can afford. Our youth squander i'll
extra food, drinks and in dissipation
which does them harm instead OF
good, the means that should be the
nestegg of their future competence.
When cares and children cluster
about them, they grumble at their
hard fortune; torgettul that they
wasted the years and the means
which might and should have saw
ed them from present and future
poverty
All these are very trite, hOmely
truths. All our boys have heard
them again and again; but how
many have laid them to heart ! We
assure G. &. S., and every other
youth, that each may become rich
if he will-that to be, or not to be-
rests entirely with himself; and
that his very first lesson is to dis
trust and shun by-paths and short
cuts, and keep straight along the
broad, obvious, beaten highway
