Pursuant to the resolutions adopted at Il
meeting of the members of the Bar, a COM
plimentary dinner was given to Judge |. X.
hrickbaum on the occasion of his retirement
from the bench, at the Exchange Hotel on
the evening of Friday, December Both. The
lawyers and guests gathered in the parlors
ut seven o'clock, and at about half past seven
the doors of the dining room were thrown

were twenty-eight persons present. Judge

Shiman at his left and Judge Krickbaum at
his right. Judge Lake, the incoming asso-
ciatc, eX-iudges L. b. Rupert and NJ. G.
Hughes were also present. We believe the

county is Tram Derr, and he was unable to
| be present The tables groaned under their
weight of good things They were set in
elegant stylSand at each plate was hand
| somcly printed bill of fare, containing "A list

tended to him while on the bench, and then
the meeting adjourned to the paror, where
after pleasant intercourse for IL time, they
\ bar supper once year would
