Death of Joseph Warren.

The many friends in Vermont of Joseph
Warren, Geo., editor of the Buffalo Courier,
will be saddened to learn of his death,
which is announced in our telegraphic COL
umns this morning. We gather the fol-
lowing sketch of his life sent by telegraph
to the associated press
He was born in Waterbury, July "a,
1929, and after preparation for college en-
tered the University Of Vermont at Bur-
lington, graduating 10 the class of 1850.
He Immediately entered the profession of
journalism, as assistant editor OF the
Country Gentleman at Albany, N. Y. In
1858 he became associate editor of
the Buffalo Courier, becoming its
editor in chief in 1868, retaining that posi-
ton until bis death. A review of his past
life says that since 1866, on the death of
Dean Richmond, he has been the recog-
nzed leader Of the democratic party in
Erie county and leader and counsellor of
that party in western New York aud the
state. He was one of the organizers of
the public park and served as one of its
commissioners since 1871; also one of the
organizers of the plan to erect the new city
and county buildings, and a member of the
commission to prepare an act to be sub
mitted with that end in view. Through
his efforts more than any other the state
asylum for the insane was located
at Buffalo, and. he served on its board
of managers and chairman of the
the executive committee until within n
month past. He was member of the
committee on location of the State normal
school at Buffalo, and member Of the
board of trustees. Ho was one of the pro-
jectors Of the Buffalo fine arts academy,
| and Yves largely interested in the project
of the Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia
railroad He was former president of
the Buffalo young mems association and
served as one of its managers for the last
three years a member of the council of
the medical department Of the University
of Buffalo for the last six years. He was
president of the New York state associated
press at the time of his death. He wa,
long a member of Ancient Land Mark
| lodge of Masons. He leaves q wife and
one son to mourn his loss.
He was gentleman whose heart wa, in
every good work for the benefit of his fel-
lows and the city of his residence. A
gifted and concise writer he held high rank
in the editorial profession. For twenty
| Ave years he has been an industrious work.
| er, and his life has been busy one-devot-
ing the best energies of noble heart and
well disciplined mind, to the public
veal. Few men of his age have 30 unselt
ishly with benevolent designs accomplished
more for the benefit Of those who surround
cd him, and the public he so unsacrifcingly
served. In all the relations of life he was
1onored. In that home which is
now made desolate he was the
charm and the life. His devotion
70 his friends was unbounded, as is well
known by the writer of this article, who
| mas been bonored with his friendship and
| correspondence for more than score of
years. There are many of the friends of
| MS earlier days who have been the recip-
tents of his friendship and hospitality, who
will cherish his memory and sorrow at his
Heath. Surely few have accomplished
more in their day and generation than
| Joseph Warren-and his example of indus.
try in professional and public lite, is one
worthy of imitation. We tender to all
who are afflicted in this dispensatlon Of
| Providence, our sincere coincidence.
