THE LATE DIR. NEBINGER.--There is now on
exhibition at Earles Galleries. Chestnut street.
above Eighth a set of resolutions prepared
under the direction of the Board of School Con-
trollers, for presentation to the family of the
late DR.. George w. Nebinger.
Soon after the death of Mr.. Nebinger, the
board directed that suitable resolutions of re-
spect should be prepared and engrossed, and
the matter was placed in the hands of the eff
cient secretary OF the board Mr. II. w. Ialli-
well. Mr.. Halliwell resolved to entrust the
work to Mr.. Lyman p. Spencer, the author of
the system of Spencerian penmanship, n warm
friend of DR.. Nebiuger's, and n man whom the
Doctor also held in high esteem.
Mr. Spencer accepted the work rs matter of
love, and after eighteen months of hard and
earnest labor has delivered to the board u finely
engrossed set of resolutions, which we must
confess we have never seen cqualed. At the
top is a perfect likeness of the deceased; on
either side are angels; beneath, a tombstone
with the monogram G.W.N., and in the centre
the Setting sun.
The whole has been dope with u pen and
is a spendid specimen of the skill of Mr..
Spencer. The resolutions are surrounded by
frame 50 by 43 inches. The testimonial will be
presented to the family in few days.
