@&SA~ voices the sentiments of all who knew Mr Corbit:
 Editor of D4e Neaos:
 Sir:
 I trust I may be pardoned for asking space in your paper for a tribute to a personal friend. My apology is the conviction that in all I may say I shall but express the feelings of large num- Der who have esteemed 1t no little pleas ure to be counted among the friends of Julius s. Corbit, whose recent depart ure from this life has filled very many hearts with sorrow.
 My acquaintance with MT Corbit be- gan in the spring of 1879, when I be- came pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in your village, and through all these years I have held him in very high esteem. As man, I have looked upon him as an embodiment of honor and integrity. In all his business affairs he was entirely above the many little schemings and machinations politely spoken of in common parlance as | shrewdness, and too often excused and even apologized for by an over-charit- able public. While thoroughly conver- sant with, and largely master of, busi- ness principles he operated along the line of the "Golden Rule" He was a man of enterprise, and that, not exclu- lively in matters of personal interest He was man of public spirit. The community did not belong to him; he belonged to, and was fsitbful to-. the community. Whatever was for the nublic Oood had his endorsemapt and cooperation. His native largeness of soul, and breadth of life, could not be compassed in the narrow limits of selfish ness. His industry and thrift have ad- ded not little to the we'll being of his town. He was 8 man of broad views and of general information, being in the habit of economizing fragments of time at his command for the acquisition of knowledge from newspapers, maga- zines and books, of all of which he had a generous supply.
 Mr Corbet was generous man. As he had been prosperous and successful in business, his helping hand was free and open to all cases of genuine need; and all who knew him, and the pleasure he had in helping those deserving help, could easily believe that, at least for him, it as "more blessed to give than to re- ceive."
 He was a man of unbounded hospi- tality. His friends were surer of noth- ing than of the warmest welcome to his home and to all it was capable of doing or affording for their comfort He was eminently genial in his companionships. While he felt, and was capable of ex- pressing, cordial contempt for any
