ReS0lged, That in the death of the Hon.

est and most ennobling qualities as man

ticc in his profession, he furnished an ex-
ample N every way to be classed and fol-
lowed as a standard of professional action.
ReSolced, That this bar deeply sympa-
thize with the friends and relatives of the
deceased in their bereavement, IN the loss
of one greatly endeared to all with whom
he was associated.

Z. J. oRMsBEE's REMARKS.
In conclusion Mr.. Ormsbee said:
1t may not be out Of place, in this con-
ncction, for me to say few words. My
acquaintance with Judge June commenced
when l was law student and continued
till his death. Residing IN the same town,
our relations, both professional and social,
were intimate, and perhaps no one knew
the real man better than l. No man was
more worthy of admiration for strict integ-
rity and Roman firmness of character than
he. Few men have lived SO long life
about three score and ten-leaving so few
examples but what were worthy of emula-
ton.
His life is an example for all. In his
profession he was strictly honest, and alb
horrcd any practice not perfectly upright.
The town of Brandon owes more to him
than any other man for its Identification
and external attractivenees. No man had
his extreme care and pride in the appear
ance of the town. He had not, as we all
know, means for this work, but he labored
| for it with his own hands, and gave it his
| personal guardianship and care. In that
respect the town met an irreparable loss.
| His acts and his life deserves to be held ia
| remembrance by his brethren of the bar as
an example worthy to be followed
d. L. NICHoLsoN's REMARKS.
Dir. Ormsbee was followed by ID. L.
| Nicholson, who said that he had been hon.
| ored with place on the committee ; it had
| been pleasure to subscribe to the resolu-
tions and he heartily endorsed their pur-
port. 1t had always been prominent rec
| objection of his life that fifty years ago he
stopped over night in Brandon, and entered
a court of justice for the first time. Judge
June, as town grand juror, was prosecuting
a hardy offender for robbery. The whole
scene Impressed him yividly, particularly
the character of Judge June, which he
studied closely and from which he received
his first inspiration for the profess
sion of the law. Mr.. Nicholson's
description was very vivid. In conclusion
he said; see here gentleman MIR.
Frsbie who in his youth studied his pro-
fession with Judge June and had the bcne-
| fit of his counsel. 1t seems as if should
| po eiicul anu ict niiu spear. foiIlCc L came
to the bar have seen it almost entirely
change, one generation pass away and an
other take its place, and am deeply i'm
| pressed with the importar ce of those vir-
tue, and traits of character which we hon
or in Judge June. feel admonished that
we should take his life as an example that
departing we may leave behind us as
| pleasant a memory as his. This bar is the
| only society with which have ever been
connected by membership and it has been
my fondest hope that when have passed
away my brethren may hold me in as
| pleasant remembrance as we now hold the
memory of the deceased.
| JUDGE wHERLER's RESPONSE.
Judge Wheeler spoke very briefly, say
| ing that his personal acquaintance with
Judge June was short one, but from all
he had ever known of the man he was
high-minded and pure and in every way
worthy of esteem. He had been county
judge one year with him and was strictly
honorable and Conscientious in the discharge
of his duties. The Court ordered the res
olutions entered on the records of the
court and adjourned out of respect to the
memory of the deceased.
