Some Oxford county lawyers are
not dependent upon their profession for
a living. as they are excellent farmers
We heard one of them say, the other
evening, that he wintered four or five
head Of cattle, and kept horse up all
the time, on about six acres OF land
Another has twenty-five acres of land,
part of which is occupied by his build
ings, and part is wood land. He is
wintering seven head Of cattle and horse,
A little land, well cared for will do won
ders. and exc out a small professional
income wonderfully. In fact, the pro-
fessional income may easily be made cash
surplus for deposit in the bank till the
coming of a rainy day. Then, again,
the care of little land allows the brain
TO relax, and gives a hardness to the mus
Gle, and q color to the cheek, unknown
TO the city attorney, cooped in his view
less Office, or driven by host of clients.

observer to fear that due regard to the
prophecies Of court Of justice was In
danger Of being overborne and lost 10 its
onward flow, but, however great the zeal,
there was beneath it sense Of obligation
to the court and to the opposing party
which kept 1t within bounds. well re-
member case tried by him some years
since, in which he evidently believed, and
as the evidence went to show, with good
reason, that his clients rights had been
shamefully disregarded and trampled upon,
case which largely drew upon his SYM
pathies and which might well in the es.i-
nation OF many, have justified IN appeal to
the sympathies of the jury In behalf of his
client, accompanied with abundant vitup-
Grafton of the opposing party; get even
here, though there was no lack of fidelity In
prosecuting his case, his zeal was not per-
mitted To outrun his discretion, but the
rights which he claimed aud the wrongs
of which he complained, were presented
upon their merits.
But he Is gone, His commanding pres
ence will no more be seen in this place
where he has so long been known aud
where the most of his entire life has been
passed. But how little OF such man can
lie. His body may mouder in the grave,
but the soul still lives, though it may dad
home in another world. 1t lives too in
this world. The example OF his life, the
influence which that life has shed upon his
relatives, friends and associates, shall
never die. 1t lives not only in the lives
and character OF those relatives, friends
and associates, but through them 1t eX.
tends to others, and thus for all time shall
continue in an ever widening circle. None,
who have ever come within the sphere Of
his influence, can be as they otherwise
would have been. His labors too have
largely contributed 10 modify and form
the laws under which we live and give Us
protection in our dearest rights. IL has
been well said that good Bar makes
good Court and il is certain that without
the one we cannot have the other, aud
each must contribute it, part in the forma..
ton OF those laws which IN great meas
ure mould our lives aud protect or destroy
all that Is worth having. Though Mr..
Black has not To any great extent held
public Office, his influence may not have
been diminished, but probably increased
thereby. The thought or retired and
obscure man msy live when thrones havo
crumbled TO dust, and the memory OF those
who have filed them has fallen into Oh.
liyion."
II is well then that we should take note
OF the departure Of those who have lived
with and among Us. That we should talk
over aud cherish their virtues, and so lar
rs we may be able, make their example
aud influence, which must be immortal, OF
the highest benefit.
In cordial sympathy with the members
OF this Bar for the loss they have suS-
tanned. aud in the respect aud admiration
for the deceased which they have so we'll
expressed. order the resolutions offered
10 be entered upon the records OF tn,
Court, and as a mark OF respect % our
brother the Court will now adjourn

Mr.. W. +. Skillings of Bethel has
been tried By fire" as severely as it Of
ten falls TO the lot Of man to be tried.
A short time ago his large steam mill at
Bethel was destroyed by fire. involving a
loss of some 100000. Soon after
his mill a, the bog was burned. His
large boarding house was burned last
winter, and few days after, he discov-
cred his dwelling to be on fire. By
prompt action, he extinguished the fire in
his house. and thus saved another heavy
loss. A party named Mckenzie and his
ite have been under arrest for burning
the boarding house at Bethel, and were
confined in jail at Paris 10 days The
Grand Jury failed to bring in an indict
ment against them, and they were re-
leased on Thursday The fact that these
parties resided near the " bog mill when
that burned, led to the suspicion that
they were guilty but we understand
that the evidence presented to the Grand
Jury was theoretical rather than circum
stantial, and did not impress the mem
bers with the force necessary to procure
an indictment. Mr.. Skillings has been
very kind TO the prisoners. and expresses
himself perfectly satisfied with the result

REMARKS OF JUDGE DAxroRTH.

REMARKS OF JUDGE DANfORTH.
l have listened with great interes. to
what has been said by the associates and
intimate friends of him whose decesse we
now mourn. They have known him in all
his relations so much better than can
pretend 10, that can add nothing to what
has been said, but can, as most cordi-
ally do, express nv entire conviction Of its
truthfulness.
When first came TO this county Mr..
Black had arrived at the maturity OF his
manhood and was a very prominent men,
Der of this Bar; il needed but look at his
stately form and manly carriage TO become
convinced that he possessed mind of no
mean order, that he was in fact one OF na.
lures noblemen. further acquaintance
with him in no degree diminished that con.
victlop. Ny observation Of his practice
in this courthouse has satisfied me that
he was well grounded in the principles OF
his profession, and that he possessed in a
high degree that acuteness OF perception,
nice discrimination and good common
sense. which enabled him 10 make an ac-
curate application OF those principles TO
the facts OF his case, together with clear
ness Of thought and force of language
which enabled him TO convey clearly TO
Others that which existed in his own mind !;
thus showing that he was not only good
lawyer but excelled also as an advocate.
But more and better than all this and
