Death of Judge John j. Alien.

"When a great, learned man (who Is long
in making) dieth, much learning dietn
with him."
1t becomes our painful duty to record
the death of Judge John j. Allen.
He died at Beaverdam, his home, in
Bo,etourt, at twenty minutes past 7
o clock, September 18th, 1871, in his
18th year, having been born at Wood.
stock, Virginia, September Goth, 1877,
Educated at the Colleges of Washing.
ton, Va, and Dickinson, Penn, he read
law with his father, Judge James Allen,
in Botetourt, and in 1919 settled in Har-
rison county, West Virginia.
Soon afterwards he was appointed
by Judge Daniel Smith, Attorney for
the Commonwealth, which position he
held until he was returned a member OF
the Senate of Virginia, for the sessions
lS29.30. In 1855 he was a repre-
sentative in Congress, and from 1886 to
1910 Judge of Botetourt circuit.
Placed on the Supreme Court Of
Appeals of Virginia in 1910, and made
its president in the organization OF that
distinguished tribunal under the consti
tuition of 1851, he remained at that
honorable post until the close OF the
war, having also been made a membe Ell
of the Executive Council OF Virginia IN
1861.
During the last year of his life he
wasted away with the disease (of which
he died), Enlargement OF the Heart.
His mental faculties were unimpaired
and remained clear and vigorous to the
last.
Some weeks before his death he de
clared his willingness to die, and hls
firm faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior
and Redeemer.
In 1924 be married the daughter o.
Judge John &. Jackson. His wife and
four children (three sons and one
daughter), survive him. The last sla
wears of his life were spent in retirement
in the bosom Of his family.
For purity OF life and manners, fol
varied and solid learning, and valued
public service, he was surpassed by nc
man of his day. His memory will not
fail among us while the history and
literature of our State are preserved
And vet we trust that some one Of his
few surviving peers will present a fail
portraiture OF this venerable man, thai
the youth OF our land, now and in com
ing generations, may look upon it and
learn his eminent virtues.
Honored and beloved by his country
men, and surrounded with wife, chill
dren, and all the endearments OF home
in perfect peace, he "came to his grave
in a full age, like as a shock Of corr
cometh in iu his season. "-Ftncastl

as from Congress the construction OF
said work as speedily as possible.
ar. Thos. NJ. Moore, Of Iowa, made
a lengthy speech in favor Of the adop-
ton OF the report giving a history OF
the western rivers for the past hun
dred and fifty years. An Englishman
had predicted l20 years ago that a great
trade from the Pacific would reach the
Atlantic by the way Of the western
rivers. Fifty years afterwards General
Washington made survey from the
head waters OF the James to the Kama
wha. and came home and wrote let
ter to the then Governor Of Virginia, in
reference to its being the best and cheap
est route from the Valley of the Miss
issippi to the Atlantic. Then every.
thing west of the Alleghenies, and even
on this side, was either dense forest or
a prairie. Iowa was now in the centre
OF that wild waving prairie-her virgin
lips smiling with prairie flowers and
kissed by the sun. Her entire limits
we're filled with intelligent American
citizens, who on looking out for an out
let for their immense crops, have re-
cognized this great avenue. 1t was a
work national in character, which had
been endorsed by the Louisville Conven'
ton, composed of delegates from thirty
States.
