 Few natives of South Coventry have g better record in the history of our county than our friend, OhaunceY B. Ripley, LLD,, of New York City, of whom the following is said by the press of the state where he practices his profession and re- sides:
 AN OPINION OF ML., RIPLEY.-New York among other things is noted for the large number of able lawyers who practice at its bar, and of those none possess greater ability or wider reputation for the same than MT. Ohauncey B. Ripley, whose offices are in the Potter building. MT. Ripley is too we'll known to require any extended notice at our hands. He has been for considerable time before the public, and the cases with which he has been connected have been of so important @ nature and his conduct of the same has been so able and successful that he has, as a result, attracted no small degree of attention. Aside from his professional duties, Mir. Ripley takes an active interest in public affairs and is noted for his generosity and public spirit. Able and cautious and well yersed in the law, MT. Ripley is recognized as dangerous antag. onist, and one of the most accomplished law. yers of the local bar.-Wau Street Herald
 A New Jersey paper before us copies the above and adds:
 Much that is complimentary is said every now and then about Judge Ripley, who, we are glad to say, is an industrious and honored resident of Weetfeld, i'm this county.
