Meeting of tine Bar.

A meeting Of Garrett county bar
was held Wednesday afternoon at the
Court House. Mr.. A. B. Gender, a
former student of Judge Pearre, was
made chairman, and w. p. Town
shend Secretary of the meeting.
Messrs. Thos, j. Peddicord, J. w.
Veitch and HI. w. Combs were APP
pointed a committee to draft appro-
pirate resolutions, and reported the
following:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the AL
mighty, in the wise dispensation of
His providence, by death to remove
the Hon. George A. Pearre from the
scenes of his lab0rs and the circle of
his friends, therefore be it
Resolved, That whilst we have
heard of the death of Judge George
A. Pearre with feelings of profound
sorrow, we humbly submit to this
decree of Divine Providence.
Resolved, That Judge Pearre while
a practitioner at the bar, performed
his duties fearlessly, and attained an
enviable reputation as an advocate,
and in his death the legal profession
has lost one of its brightest lights.
ReS0lUed, That Judge Pearre pos
sessed a vast fund of legal knowledge,
which, combined with his keen per-
ception and fine powers of discrimi-
nation, admirably fitted him for the
high office of Judge. In the discharge
of his official duties, he was upright
and impartial, and in his death the
bench has lost one of its ablest jurists.
ReSOtUed, That as citizen Judge
Pearre was public spirited, progress
siye, and always ready to cooperate
with those who were honestly en-
deavoring to promote the public in
tereStS.
Resolved, That we tender our heart
felt sympathy to the family of the
deceased, and in their bereavement
commend them to the fatherly care
Of Him who doeth all things we'll.
ReSOtUed, That a committee COM
posed OF three members of the bar be
appointed to attend the funeral of the
deceased.
Resolved, that the Clerk of the
Court be requested to drape the Court
House in mourning suitable to The
occasion.
Resolred, that the newspapers of
Oakland and the daily papers of Cum
berland be requested to publish the
aforegoing preamble and resolutions.
The resolutions were adopted and
Messrs. G. S. Hamill, w. P. Town
shend and F. A. Thayer were APP
pointed as the committee to attend
the funeral.

The Harding Murder.

The excitement here still runs high
on the late murder of Josiah Hard
ing Tor Harden).
Saturday last Col. Veitch received
a dispatch from Winchester, stating
that a coIored man had been arrested
there, who answered the description
given in Col. Veitch's telegram of
few days previous. Sunday evening
Mr.. jeremiah Browning, of Elkins,
who knew the murderer well, was
sent on to identify him. When Mr..
Browning arrived at Winchester he
satisfied the officers that they had the
right man even before he had seen
Smith, by description of his cloth
ing. When he was taken into the
prison where Smith was confined he
readily identified him, but Smith
protested that he had never seen
Browning, and that he had never
been at Eikins. Mr.. Browning inn
mediately telegraphed to Col. Veitch
that the prisoner was the man he
wanted when the Col. made applica.
ton TO Governor Hamilton for a
requisition, which will probably be
returned the latter part of this week,
when the Sheriff will proceed to Vir-
ginia for the murderer.
Saturday Mrs. Harding, the wife
of the murdered man, three of her
children, and Mrs. Lee, who were
present at the time of the murder,
were brought to Oakland, and exam
ined by Esquire Gender. Mrs. Lee
was released on her own recognizance
for her appearance before the Grand

died previous to his election in 1871.
He leaves seven children, Mrs. A.
II. Blackiston, Mrs. Wardlaw Nc
Gill, Mrs. Merwin McKaig, Miss
Madge, and William, George and
Graham.
During the early history of the coal
trade of this county the deceased was
counsel for C. E. Detmold and j. A.
Graham, two of the pioneer coal men,
and since then for several corpora
tions. He was also engaged at diff
ferent times in various important
cases. His record on the bench is too
recent and well known to require des-
eruption. The unsuccessful attempt
to impeach him before the legislature
of 1880 will be generally remember
ed.
From his lucrative practice and
shrewd investments the deceased had
secured quite a competence and 1T is
estimated he leaves at least 100000.
Just previous to going to Hagers-
town Judge Pearre had cleared up all
the important judicial work he had to
do. So far as known his two last Off
cial acts were signing of an order in
an equity case and an order granting
a writ of haheas corpus. Both were
dated May q, and were received here
yesterday, the equity order by Mr.. j.
j. McHenry and the habeas corpus
order by States Attorney Sloan.
Both bore post-mark "HagerstoWn,
7 A. NJ, May %" The habeas corpus
order was endorsed in pencil, 81 will

The Christian Mother.

There she sits, old Christian moth
err, ripe for heaven. Her eyesight is
almost gone, but the splendors of the
celestial city klndle up her vision.
The gray light of heavens morn has
struck through the gray locks which
are folded back over the wrinkled
temples. She stoops very much I'M
der the burden of care, she used to
carry for her children. She sits at
home. too old to find her way to the
house of God but while she sits there
all the past comes back, and the chill
dren that forty years ago tripped
around her arm chair, with their
griefs. and joys and sorrows-those
children are gone now. Some she
brought up are in better realm, where
they shall never die, and others out
in the wide world, testing the excel
lency of Christian mothers discip-
line. Her last days are full of peace.
and calmer and sweeter will her spirit
become, until the gates lift and'let in
the worn out pilgrim into eternal
springtide and youth, where the
limbs never ache and the eyes never
grow dim, and the staff of the ex-
hausted and decrepid pilgrim shall
become the palm of the immortal
athlete!

as time passed the fraction increased.
