REMARKS OF JUDGE LoNeBoN.

This occasion is more than ordinary moment.
The tragical event laat has called us together is
without precedent in our history. 1t has suddenly
removed from among us well known and prominent
member of the legal profession and created sadness
that shrouds a community in gloom, and stricken
family in sorrow and fiction. The strange silence
of this hour seems impress with a solemn and
reverential as If we surrounded with fnvis
ible messengers from the spirit land Possibly the
spirit of our deceased brother is lowering within
these walls where his voice often heard

should be performed Over his frailties I would
throw the broad mantle of that chrrfty that

the day of his DEATH I had in Levi DUNCAN a warm
and sincere friend To me- he was always lust gen.

ceptor and nv mariner in the profession which he
