The Farmers, Mutnnl.

Alta meeting OF the directors Of the Farmers
Mutual held at their office on the 10Th utimo,
Mr.. GEORGE W. LESLIE was unanimously elected
as treasurer OF said company, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by tho recent death Of MIR. WELLS.
OF this election II is sufficient 10 say, that no other
selection was for moment contemplated, and
none better could have been made. At the same
meeting the following resolution was introduced
and unanimously adopted, after appropriate re-
marks by several Of the directors:
" Resolved, That while we bow uncomplainingy
to that mysterious providence which has removed
by death our associate and friend SAMUEL WELLS
we are nevertheless keenly alive to the fact that
the officers and members Of the Insurance Com
pany with which we are mutually connected have
thereby sustained loss that Is utterly rrepar-
able. The actual progenitor Of the company; oc-
cupying the responsible positions of treasurer and
director from the date of its organization until the
day of his death-a period of more than twenty
eight years; exceptionally prominent and active
in the management of all its affairs in general
and in detail we come far short Of expressing the
whole truth in saying that we shall look in vain
for one to fill his place. Simple justice to his
memory demands our united and heartfelt testi-
mony to his ability and fidelity in the discharge
of all his official trusts; to his intelligence and
public spirit citizen; his geniality as n COM
panion, and his trustworthiness as friend.
While deep sense of loss must ever remain fresh
in our hearts, the memory of his example will
serve as a perpetual stimulus to earnest and hon
orable activity"
