loving report and resolutions,
which -srs, % motion of O Hall,
Esqr. unanimously adopted
Erroar AID hfsoLr1foxs
NJ. Chairman, ssd Broth,r Lac.
ysrs:
The undersigned, upon whom has
been dsvOlvsd the duty Of giving sx.
preston TO the feelings Of this Bar
10 regard 10 the death Of Judge Or.
vile Harrison, have bssu painfully
impressed with their inability fit
tingly to discharge the task.
So long and 50 intimate had been
our intercourse with him, so fondly
had we learned to love and admire
him, that il seems almost impossible
to realize that he has indeed gone
from among US to be seen here no
more forever. The eldest and tore
most member of our Bar has been
stricken down; the best known aud
most popular citizen Of our county
is no more; and though a long and
useful life had been granted him, we
feel more and more, ms the days 20
by, how much we shall miss his
presence and dsplors his loss.
Though time lad laid its hand
upon his form and left ito impress
upon his features, his intellect was
as clear and his heart as tender as
though in the first flush Of manhood.
Indeed, the freshness of feeling and
the deep interest in and love for
young men which marked the char
actsi of our deceased brother, were
among his NEST prominent traits.
Though vsrging fast upon "three
score years and ten," be was, to tie
day OF his death, the especial friend
and companion of the younger menu
bers of his profession, and was never
happier than when surrounded by
them. Certainly there was much in
his career as a lawyer and his char
acter as a mar that they might well
emulate and admire. He had the
highest sense of the honor Of the
profession, and in his intercourse
with his brother lawyers displayed
a courtesy that never failed, and a
scr:nulous observance of the rights
of others that was never at fault.
Though in the later years Of his
life the study and the labors OF the
profession had grown too irksome
for him, yet 50 we'll laid had been
the foundation of his legal education,
and so solid the superstructure
which he had reared upon 1t, that
he was rarely at fault as to the mer-
its of any proposition submitted to
him; aud the readiness which en-
-abled him, seemingly without study
or effort, to unravel the most intri-
cate questions, appeared to those Of
US less gifted like an intuitive knowl-
edge of tie law.
Al q man, he was honorable in
his dealings with all men, charitable,
upright, and generous to a fault;
His whole soul seemed imbued and
permeated with kindness and con-
sideration for others, and it was FIRE.
quently remarked Of him that no
man living had ever heard Judge
Harrison say a bitter or unkind
word about friend or foe.
-sWe feel that no words Of ours
can do justice to his virtues or our
own sorrow. As a slight token Of
the esteem in which we held him,
Be Il resolved BY the members Of
the Pamela Bar, First, That in the
death Of Judge Harrison we mourn
the loss Of an able lawyer, a beloved
friend, and a pure, honorable and
upright citizen.
Second, That a copy of this re-
port and these resolutions be fur
uishsd to the Pamela STAR for pub
LEGATION, a copy to Capt. J. Q. Har.
rison for the family OF our deceased
friend, and that the Chairman dc
appoint one member of the Bar t.
present the same to the Chancery
Court of this county, and one mem
Der to present the same to the Cir
cult Court, with the request tina
they be spread upon the minutes o
said courts.
