We met Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner, of tho
Legislative Rovisory Committee, on the train
on Thursday afternoon last, on his way home
for day or two. Mr.. faulkner says that
the committee is snugly fixed in the Press
idents House at the White Sulphur Springs
and is progressing rapidly with its work.
Ten to fourteen hours day are given to
systematic labor, and much has already been
accomplished. There is, however, an i'm
mense amount of work yet before the CON-
mittee, and this, MIR. Faulkner thinks, would
be greatly facilitated, and the work give
much moro general satisfaction if those of
the legal profession would communicate to
the committee promptly such suggestions as
may occur to them, and thus give tho COM
mittee tho benefit of the largest opinion upon
which to decide and base It's report to the
Legislature.
DIR. West Brooke Rocker died at tho res.
ldence OF his brothersin law, Col Francis
Yates, near this town, on. Tuesday last. The
Free Press appropriately says: He vas
lawyer, but his inclinations rather led him
into the paths of literature, and from wells
stored mind he contributed to the public
journals and thus sought to edify and to en-
terrain as opportunity presented itself. He
was genial, and won to himself friends here
and elsewhere who will hear with sincere re.
greet of his death.
