THE ACC0MAC BAR
ACTION ON THE DEATH OF UPsHUR
ID. QUIyDY.
Reco1Iections of Some of the Dis
tinguished Practitioners of the
Oystermen.
Oystermen.
COTRTHOTSE

ACCOMAC, COURTHOUSE, VA,
February -(SpeciaL)-During the ses-
sion of the County Court Of Accomac,
held here yesterday a meeting Of the
members Of the bar and officers Of the
court was held to take action touching
the death of Upshur b. Quinby. Esq,
who for more than thirty years had
been one of the most prominent lawyers
Of the Eastern Shore. Resolutions re-
ported by Mr.. Stewart X. Powell were
unanimously adopted extolling the cha
racter Of the deceased as an honorable
man, a learned lawyer, and q genial
friend and companion, and regretting his
untimely death
On motion, Judge Blackstone ordered
the resolutions to be spread on the re-
cords of the County Court, and appoint
ed Montcam Oldham, Esq, to present
the resolutions TO the Circuit Court at
its next session. In seconding the reso
lutions Mr.. Samuel r. Ross paid touch
ing tribute to Mr.. Quinby, saying that
he had known him since 1864, and that
he regarded him as one Of the purest
known. Mr.. Ross, who is comparatively
q young man, is now the senior member
of the Accomac Bar in active practice.
When in the fan Of 1880 the Dispatch
correspondent first came to the East
err Shore of Virginia, there were eight
resident lawyers practicing at this bar.
OF these Abel T. Johnson, William Z. NJ.
Kellam, Judge John w. Gillet. and Up
shur Il. Quinby are dead; Hon. John
Nelly, with whom Mr.. Quinby was long
associated in the practice of law, has for
years been living in Norfolk, where he
enjoys a large and lucrative clientage;
Judge b. II. Gunter, now recovering from
q long and dangerous Illness, Is on the
bench of the Circuit Court, and Hon.
John w. II. Parker i'm his old age IS
living in honored and graceful retire-
ment at Franconia, his beautiful coun-
try seat on Onancock creek; leaving MI.
Ross as the only member Of the bar OF
1854 now in active practice. The Acco-
mac Bar is, therefore, composed almost
entirely of young men, only one ot theh'
being 50 years old.
Last wednesday night the roof OF r.
7. Milliner's store. at Louisville, on the
seaside. was found to be on nre. An
alarm was given, and the bucket-Drigade
came out in full force and succeeded IN
extinguishing the flames before any Sc
rious damage was done. high wind
was blowing at the time, and rev
minutes later the fire would have been
beyond control, and would have doubt
less. destroyed other houses in the neigh
borhood. The fire is supposed to nave
originated from a defective fue in the
chimney Just where it passes through
the roof.
No one who has not lived here and
visited the oyster settlements along the
coasts and the tidal creeks can have any
conception of the loss that would result
to these hard-worked people If alien cor
poraton and syndicates should De al
lowed to control any great amount OF
the oyster-grounds Of the State.
The weather continues very cold, and
the young people are enjoying skating
carnival on the ice that now covers the
sheltered coves Of Onancock creek.
