his eventual life, one sees the success
which followed earnest labor, courageous
action and manly independence as well rs
the evidence of q temperate, orderly and
well spent lie. We remember him in
connection with our own calling as the
faithful apprentice good printer, good
and accomplished editor, and liberal pro-
prietor, losing all this in one for so many
years at the head Of his profession, our
loss is second only to that Of the public,
in whose interests in the press of the coun.

more than forty years of his life.

comes us to be ready 10 meet that sum-
mons which has only little in advance of
us called him, our late friend and broth
er.
Resolved, That copy of these rcsolu-
tons be signed by the President and Sec
