GERMAN FRIENDLY SOCIETY, July l3, 1870.
AT a meeting held this day, the following
proceedings were unanimously adopted: -
& But few days since, our society was called
upon to record the death Of 8 valued member,
and now again our circle has been invaded,
and by the decree Of an All-w,se Providence
death has snatched from us another worthy
member. Mr.. E. N. BRoDIE became member
January, 1870. and departed this life June 80,
1870, in his forty-sixth year. He was an es-
teemed and respected merchant, and although
but few months member Of our society, he
bid fair to be an ornament to our association.
Be it, therefore,
Resolued, That the German Friendly Society
deeply depiore the death Of Mr.. E. N. BRopIE,
and that they tender the family of the deceas-
ed the assurance of their sincere coincidence.
Resolved That a page In our journal be In
scrlbed to his memory; that o copy Of these
proceedings be transmitted to MS family, ana
that they be published in TIE NEWS and
Courier.

THE ENspRcroR:GENERALo OF TNBER-rs Hrs
APPOINTMENT LEaAL?-Eyer since ex-Ader-
man T. ). Mackey was, by means Of an ordt-
nance drawn up by himself, elevated to the
post of inspector-general of timber and lum-
ber, there has been considerable complaint
among dealers In lumber and timber, which
did not cease when his successor, Alderman
Barrow, came into ofice-many contending
that the action OF Council in making such an
appointment. was not legal.
However, no attempt was made to test tne
question Of the legalityi but on yesterday
when the case Of ssthe inspector-genera OF
timber and lumber, against E. N. Brodle, lum-
her and timber factor, for the recovery OF
measurement fees and penalty for non-com-
pliance with the measurement law, was being
heard before Recorder Pringle, Mr.. j. N. Ma
thans, counsel for Mr. Brodie, raised the ques-
ton OF the legality Of the action Of Council in
electing an inspector-generd of timber and
lumber.
The City Attorney held that the City Council
had the right to create this office under their
.charter, granting them discretionary powers
applicable to such cases.
!, In reply to this, Mr. Nathans argued that If
such was ths case the discretionary power In
this easehsd been taken from them by the act
of the Iegidature, approved December 10th,
1853, wherein the title Of such persons as are
selected to perform the duties Of measuring
Is clearly specified. he further argued that
the law was not binding on individuals, as it
was LETT optional whether parties have their
Timber or timber measured or not.
After further argument from the City Attor-
ney in support Of his position, the arguments
were concluded, and the Recorder announced
that be would reserve his decision.
