profession Of the Territory has been re-
quined to EssnOriEs the deaths Of two
members Of the bar and Of tS0 others,
officers OF the courts: In September 1878
that Of a young lawyer, who had been
recently admitted, and whose excellent
character and amiable department had
won for him unexceptionable regard; in
October following that Of the Hon. Ed
ward r. johnson, whose vigorous and
acute intellect and energetic tenpera-

had gone on before. He crossed the
bourne, which no traveller recrosses;
and beyond which the way IL ever on
ward. Alone he entered upon the most
sad and solemn OF all journeys-the
passage thro' the Dark Valley: yet, we
are allowed TO hope, not alone; for One,
whose assurances are unfailing. and who
has said-"I will never leave thee, no
forsake thee"-.the All Merciful, was
his rod and staff upon the way. On
