 At meeting of the directors of the New Haven County National bank held on Saturday last, the following minutes were passed, and copy of the same, signed by all of the directors will be sent to Mrs. English:
 It is with feelings of the profoundest sorrow that the directors of the New Haven County National bank meet to- day to take official action upon the death of James G. English, a director of this bank from 1870, and it's president from 1876 to 1890.
 MT. English's mind was clear, discrim- mating and acute, so that he readily saw and decided all matters that came before him. His moral perception or right and wrong was keen to discern any subterfuge. He had a calm decision of character that gave authority to his opinion on all business matters, and both as president or director he won the unquestioned respect and confidence of his associates.
 In his private life he was the devoted and loving husband and the true friend, with a memory for the past history of New Haven and it's citizens that made him ever a most charming Companion to all.
 He passed suddenly and peacefully from this life to that of the better life beyond with the love and respect of all who knew him.,
 Inadequate as these words are, for l language ever fails to express the deep est feelings, we desire to enter these l minutes upon the records of the bank, | and request the secretary to send a l copy, signed by the board of directors, | 70 Mrs. English.
