LITERALLY KICKED OUT.
A new court crier and permanent tipstaH
were selected last January by our Judges to
take the place Of Jerry Seitzinger and
Robert Dougherty, who gave universal salts
faction by the polite and attentive manner of
fulfilling the duties Of their respective
positions. The displaced officials were not
informed of their dismissal until the Presi.
den Judge arrived home from a brief visit
last month, when Jerry and Robert were
unceremoniously kicked out. Jerry is an
old man and il would have been 70 graceful
act to have allowed him to remain and close
the few remaining years Of his up and down
life in a position which just suited him and
the lawyers and other court officials who he
served so well. But it was not to be so. Mr..
Seitzinger was a little too independent with
his little one vote for Judge last fall, and he
had to go. The result was he advertised and
sold his home and will retire from public

SAVED FROM NEGLECT.
Shortly after Judge Green died among
other features of the respect paid to his
memory it was decided at a meeting of the
Bar Association to drape his judicial chair in
mourning for thirty days. Nobody took it
upon himself to see that this mark Of respect
was complied with for a period Of two weeks
and the officers Of the association especially
forgot about it until a friend and great adj
mirer of the Judge engaged a decorator to do
the draping and paid the bill out of his own
pocket. This friend is a prominent lawyer
who did not like the slow pace Of the asso-
citation and to show that he for one had not
so soon forgotten the departed Judge, he took
upon himself to see that the mark of respect
intended by the Bar Association should be
saved from neglect by ordering and paying
for the draping. This brings to mind Joe
Jefierson's remark in his character Of Rip
Van WinEie. When he wakes up after q
twenty-years' siesta ON the mountain and
wanders back to his native village, Falling
Waters. Rip failing to get any one to know
him exclaims with tears in his kind old eyes.
How soon we are forgotten when we are
dead"
And this also brings to mind the departure
to that land called the Great Unknown, of
another lawyer, the sixth within one year.
John W. Roseberry, Esq, than whom there
never lived a kindlier soul nor a more ex-
emplary citizen. Mr.. Roseberry was laid to
rest last Monday in that cemetery wherein
repose the remains of so many Of the once
shining lights of a great legal fraternity
Laurel Hill, or Charles Baber, as it is now
called. There are the graves of F. w.
Hughes, Lin Bartholomew, John T. Hobart,
George r. Kaercher and a host Of others-an
gone and, it is hoped, not forgotten.
