OBITUARY..

It becomes our painful duty to-day to an
nounce the death of three prominent citizens,
two of our city directly, and the other living
near and so closely identified with our city and
its interests as to have been regarded substan-
TALLY one Of US. These are Julius Avery, Esq,
A. d. Beck and Capt. VIM. H. Price.

The Population OF The Southern States.

1t has been the fashion to assume that the
Southern states had sustained such large losses
OF population during the war that little or no
increase Was to be expected by the present
census. The following figures taken from
contemporary, disprove this assertion and
exhibit very extraordinary increase under

May 1t please The Court
Our brother Julius Avery is no more! Death
has visited our midst and taken tbereirom one
whom We all esteemed "a a man, cherished AS a
friend, con6ded in, and loved a. brother. His
talents were OF the highest order. His honesty
was unquestioned; his honor unstained, and his
kindness Of heart seldom equalled-never sur.
passed.
He was great in all the qualities Of mind and
heart that constitute true greatness, and none
were brought in contact with him who were not
irresstby lead to the conviction that he was a
good man. We are then called upon to mourn
the death Of great and Of u good man.
He WAS cut down in the vigor of his manhood,
in the midst of his usefulness. The vacancy
created by his death Cen never DO filed. A
bright and shining light in our profession has
been extinguished. We all hoped a brilliant
future was in store for him. His success had
been great, but We, who knew him, were conf
dent that past successes were but the stepping
stones to still greater but death interviewed,
and our hopes were blasted, our expectations
turned to bitter disappointment. ff
At such time it Is meet and proper for US to
recall the merits Of our departed brother, en-
grave them upon our minds and hearts, and let
the lesson Of his useful life DO the guiding star
Of our future action. Happily we find nothing
in his character, In bis conduct. or in his deal.
ings with his fellow man but good. We fnd
nothing with which to reproach his memory,
but much, very much that endears him to US
and makes his example one to be emulated.
As the sensitive plant shrinks from the slight
est touch 10 shrank his heart from even the APP
psarance Of dishonor; under the most trying
circumstances he never hesitated between right
and wrong. No matter how glitteriug the temp
tation to choose the wrong, you ever found him
right.
