addressed the meeting, referring to the fact
that it was more than four years since his
veice was heard here, and 1t seemed to MIN
the mere fitting that 1t should be heard on this
cause Of neishborhood, that he had been ii, al.
most daily intercourse with two members Of
the bar-Stone and Morgan. He felt like man
who had lost friend on the right and one on
entirely alike, and in others. totally dis.
similar-one, q close reader OF the law
as laid down In the books, and the other
impatient Of the law. They were both honor
able men. 1t seemed that with Mr.. Morgan
nature had fitted him for distinction at the
bar, and he believed that no man ever, In the
dust of the forum, failed to be impressed with
his eDnobling qualities. Mr.. Norris read the
following preamble and resolutions:

Edwin Cecil Morgan died at his residence, in
this city, In the bosom OF his own imme diate
family. surrounded by large connection, to

that strengthen and intensity the common
bonds OF nature. Beyond that Immediate cir
Gle. the hearts OF many friends. and especially
OF his brethren now here assembled, were filed
with sorrow as the intelligence spread among

He had completed his 4oth year and in the pride
of ripened manhood, when as yet no blight OF
autumn had fallen upon him, the grave un-
timely opened and received him. But though
his feet shall tread in the accustomed path no
more, and though his voice shall me- yer more
be heard on earth. we, his brethren will cher
Ish his memory with affectionate respect and
keep alive the recollection OF his clear aud
vigorous mind. his manly, natural clog uence,
his quick intnitive sense of right, his abhor-
renee Of all things mean and low, his unsul-
lied honor, his frank and generous temper
ReSotred therefore, That this expression of
our affection for our deceased brother, and of
our sincere sorrow for his untimely heath be
