left at the beginning Of the armed
conflict. Major Maurin continued the
even tenor of bis way until last Tues.
day, when his long and useful life
was brought to an abrupt close, as.
related above. Few men carry with
them to the grave in such a general
degree the love and esteem Of their
citizens as has Major Victor
Manlin. If the number and earnest
ness of the prayers for the repose of
his soul are any indication that they
will be granted, his mourning rela-

assurance that " their loss is lis

the loved and cherished ones of earth.
Though he is gone from among us,
the example of his pure and noble
life will remain to guide the footsteps
of the coming generation in the way
of righteousness and virtue. Those
who pattern after him will be useful
and honorable members of society.
