Of usefulness and honor !; and that the success
which attended his earlier efforts in neigh.
boring State gave assurance Of his capacity to
attain eminence in the legal profession and
that we witnessed with painful sympathy the
protracted physical sufferings which prevented
| him from the exercise of his rare abilities,
| since he chose his home among us, and de.
prived the profession Of his aid and example.
Resolred, That we mourn, in common with
the large circle Of personal friends to whom
the society Of our late brother was an attrac-
ton, and source of improvement as well as
4 delight.
RESOLVED, That we tender to the immediate
family Of the deceased our sincere coincidence
in their great bereavement and that as q
mark Of our regard for his memory we will
wear the usual badge Of mourning.
Resoired, That these resolutions be pre-.
scented to the Circuit Court for Carroll county,
