DEATH OF Hon. ROBERT Y. CONRAD.
One by one the links that bind IN TO
past era arc loosed and broken, and
we are called upon to mourn the dealt,
Of those who have helped to make the
name Virginian synonym for intellec-
tual greatness, patriotic zeal and per.
sonal worth.
1t is our mournful duty to-day TO
chronicle the death Of another OF Virain.
las gifted sons, tho Hon. Robert Young
Conrad. The sad event took place at
his residence in this place on Wednes.
day afternoon last about 5 o'clock. Mr..
Conrad had been in feeble health for
some time past, but the immediate cause
of his death was typhoid pneumonia. He
had reached the sixty-ninth year OF
his age.
In the death Of Mr.. Conrad the bar of
Virginia loses one Of its brightest orna-
ments. He was known as q LAWYER of
ripe learning and deep research, and rs
an advocate OF the greatest ability. He
was prominent member of the Con.
Yention of 1861, Since the war he had
taken but little part in political affairs,
although he watched the march ofevents
with the deepest interest. lie was e..
lected to Congress after the war. but
was not allowed to take his seat. Tru.
ly, it may be said of him-IIe was man
without fear and without reproach. His
life is his fittest monument Wiacbes,e,
