the memory of Robert Moore, deceased,
pay a deserved tribute to the modest
worth and spotless character OF an hon.
est self-made man. whose professional
attainments were respectable, and whose
devotion to his clients, his family and
his country was exemplary. he began
his career without any education or
other advantages. He labored for many
years as mechanic with Wiling ana
skilliul hands. then he became farmer,
but falling health disabled him, and he
was supported by HE friends for the office
of Common Pleas Associate Judge,
and continued to discharge the
duties of the position, without re-
proach, until the office was abolished by
the adoption of the present Constitution.
and was we'll qualified to practice law
when he left the bench. He made him
self further acquainted with the legal
forms, and studied principles diligently,
relying, however, greatly on his knowl-
edge OF men and business, and upon a
large fund Of good common sense. He
was capable Of excellent professional
services in the kind of practice he ac-
quired. Widows, orphans, minors, could
depend for their contested rights
upon his energy, fidelity, and
capacity; and not aspiring
much TO the argument Of cases, or to
general business, he managed the pecu-
liar interests entrusted to him SUCCESS
fully. Content with this sphere, he was
kind while true, and just to the other
side, while faithful to his own side OF
the case, and in a dilligent but quiet
way he pushed forward judiciously the
decision and settlement OF many contro-
versies.
Sedentary habits and the change to
an office-lile told soon upon the strong
constitution of our brother, and It has
long been apparent that he could not
bear up against the consequences.
After dropping for some months he
ceased to come among US, and on De
cember 23d, at his residence In this
county, on the farm upon which he was
born, he passed away.
1t remains for us to appreciate and
apply his example; therefore
"Resolved, That, while we have the
highest regard for his very eminent
abilities and professional knowledge
and power, it is proper to recognize the
tmerit Of those whose moderate talents
and attachments have been made useful
to the community by. their association
with integrity, diligence, fidelity and
that Judgment which denotes good sense,
| "Resolved, That Of this class Robert
| Moore was most worthy example, anC
that, therefore, his memory will live In
the hearts of his brethren, and be cher
ished In many homes to which be has
brought comfort and happiness, long
after his body has mouldered in the
grave.
"Resolved, That we condole with his
family, who have treasure in his hor
orable and useful lite, more precious
than gold, which death did not takt
away. v
r'Resolyed, That this tribute be spread
on the minutes of tire Court OF Common
Pleas, and be published by the press o
the city.

Daylight Robbery.

a
At noon to-day a well-dressed couple,
a man and young woman, entered the
jewelry establishment of VIM. Owens &
Co., northwest corner Main and Fourth,
and asked to be shown some sleeve but
tons. After awhile the man was noticed
endeavoring to make way with num-
Der OF articles; seeing that he was de-
tected he broke and ran east on Fourth
midway OF the street, crossed over and
dashed down the alley towards Third
street, and dropped his booty.
During all this time, his confederate.
the woman, was left to face the crowd
that rushed in. An officer questioned
her closely, but she refused to divulge
his name. Her own name, she states, is
Lizzie Shilling, and she has an uncle on
the corner OF Sixth and Central avenue.
She positively refused to accompany the
officer to the Station-house, but offered
to pay for a hack-the crowd appalled,
her. She states that Mr.. L. 7. Brown,
the leather dealer, close by, could vouch
for her, but Mr.. Brown was not to be
found.
After some persuasion the lady was
induced to go along with the officers.
The man VINO was with the lady was
captured after long chase, on Water
street near the bridge. He was taken
to Hammond street by officer Kelley,
and gave his name as Henry Adams, but
his real name is FL. Bernard.

Particulars of Minister Avery's death
have reached San Francisco from China.
A CORES pondent of the Bulletin writes:
"Poor, sick Averyl for five years he
struggled with disease, yet his brain
was never clearer or brighter than DUR
ing his one diplomatic year In China.
When he died, and after the embalming,
which was done at his special request,
so that his body might rest amid the
shades of his much loved Berkeley, the
Foreign Office, composed OF the high and
trusted officials of the Empire, sent to
the weeping widow an elaborate silken
scroll, to be hung in the sacred halls OF
mourning. This scroll, emblazoned in
Celestial art and beauty, states that
two continents, the Occidental and the
Orient, mourn for the loss of one ewho
spoke right, did what was right, and
ever active in the right.'n

be int listed with the highest office, il
his humor were the only obstacle in the
