MR.. MARvIN's REMARKS.
Mn. CHAlR1AS: In reporting these resolutions
do not feel that they are formal, although similar
to those SO often presented before. have at times
realized that words uttered on like occasions
were very hollow as hollow as the character they
would praise. But on this 0ccnsiun desire to bear
testimony to the worth OF our departed brother,
whom had known intimately for several years,
aud whose life was living example OF the

The Cleveland Herald has wei said That his

His worn spirit struggled in prison, anxious for

pain, kimdled once agoin with thoughts OF father,

"angol" came, and ut word the bars are burst and
our friend and brother is beyond his troubles and
pain. His spirit has entered that higher sphere TO

Amos Denison, esq, followed With few touch
ing remarks upon the life and character OF the de-
| ceased, speaking as follows:
MR.. DESIsoN's REMARKS.
Mr.. CMAInMAS: Once more is the silver chord
loosed, the golden bowl broken, the pitcher broken
at the fountain, and the wheel broken at tie els
| tern. once more has the dust returned TO the
| earth as 1t was, and the spirit unto God who
| gave IL.
Not as when we last met to lament the close ofa
life that had ripened into richest fruition, bur.
| dened with its weight OF malured riumphs and
| bending with accumulated lulurs, do We meet,
| but TO 6emonn far saddcr futc--the cutting down
OF young life the days of It's years had reached
one score and ten and long ere its sun had climbed
| TO the meridian height.
| Far from the comforts and endearmeus Of home
| aud kindred, severed from those associations to
| which he so ardcntly chung, stranger in strange
| land. leaving all behind TO feek relief from that
| unrelenung grasp Of death which never loosed
| its grip, our friend and brother struggled with
| the king OF terrors while days heightened into
| months and months INTO years, From early man
hood that sword OF D0mocles, now so fatally fallen,
| has hung pendent over that young head, momen-
tarily threatening destruction yet that brave soul
| never swerved or faltered from tho limo of duty,
| but pressed on 10 the mark with determination
| and resolution nowhere found but in heroes and
martyrs. Uric II; Brney sprung from noble

lerstiCs of line OF ancestry distinguished In the
annals of our country for its wisdom It's yalor aud

tions and shrinking modesty; independence aud
u winning confidence; pride and humility; courage
and tcmerity; severity aud tenderness; Indignation

His life though of late so heavily shadOwed, in
turn never cast u shadow. II seemed one pcrpetu-
ally clouldiess day and the nays Of his sunny,
buoyant nature many time have shot their light
and warmth into our colder hearts. with his gen

We who knew him best loved him best and ever
recognized In him the sincere devoted friend, the
able, progressive lawyer ana the courteous, cnrls

There has gone from our number one whose life
though short, was long, aud long because II Gn
