| possessed more than any man oil my ac'
quaintance, a rich and racy fund of anec.
dote, which enlivened to high degree his
social and professional life an exhaust
less vein of genial humor and wit perme'
atcd his whole being, which he hurled with
magic success against the sophisms Of al
adversary and which threw fascinating
and dazzling light over all his everyday
life, and better than all, he never dipped
its arrows in the green oils of jealousy
nor in the darker waters of malice. He
was the compeer of Bell and Mattocks
and Cushman, to contend with whom was
no holiday pastime, no battle of Fonteney,
but the fierce fight of trained gladiators,
whose steel never lcaped from its scabbard
but TO encounter foemen worthy it.
lie was kind, courteous and obliging,
aud had the keenest sense of professional
integrity in all his intercourse with the
Court. Bar or his clients. In the state
he was quiet and law-abiding citizen Of
plain and unobtrusive manners, and whose
loss cast a gloom over our entire eommu-
nifty. Kind friend, accomplished lawyer,
honorable citizen,--pass on; the doors of
history are wide ajar to receive you,
and should some jealous sentinel on its
outposts demand to know the graces of
thy character or the excelencies Of thy
life, point him to us, who to-day are wri-
ting them in indellible letters on the tab
lets of our memories"
Judge Wilson said his first acquaint-
ance with Joshua Sawyer was made at a
very early day. 1t was As years ago
this last Spring that he began this ac-
quaintancc. With number of other
boys, he heard that Sawyer was to speak
at Justices court, and they travelled
some miles to hear him. He did not re-
call who was on the other side but he re-
ceived very favorable impression Of
his ability. Judge Wilson said he was
accustomed to embrace every opportunity
to hear good pleading, and would readily
travel five miles to hear Mr.. Sawyer
The last year that Mr.. Sawyer was in
the Legislature, he was opposed to Au-
drew Tracy on some question. Mr.. Saw
yer remmrked that he had had some dis
clssion with Mr. Tracy in the Legislature
and that he was the most formidable OPP
ponent he had ever met. Before leaving
Montpelier he heard Mr.. Tracy make til,
very same remark Of Mr.. Sawyer.
Judge Wilson remarked that he could
say ia the language of the Resolution
that Dir. Sawyer had not his superior in
Vermont. In the old age of Mr.. Sawyer,
since he had the honor of sitting upon the
bench Of LamoilIe Co., he had often re-
ceivcd visits from him, and been most
lgreeably entertained. lie had never
met more social and agreeable compan-
ion. Judge Wilson said in concluding
that be canll heartily endorse tho eonti
nent Of the Resolutions.
Further remarks were made by Mr..
Heath and Mr.. Gleed, but we have not
space for them this week.

ing love OF a grateful people for the mem.
cries Of those who died that the nation
might live. This is the second public OBJ.
seryance of the occasion, which it is trust.
ed will recur yearly while there remains
heart loyal to the cause in which our
comrades fell, and while the moving prin-
ciple Of that struggle is worth preserving,
1t our organization had 10 other object,
that alone Of keeping green the resting

who gave their aid and sympathy on a
former occasion to make successful this
national memorial day, and they are cor
daily invited to unite with the comrades

May, and for the promise held ont that
each year compilation will be made and

ces.
