TfTE LATB JOHN Y, M'DEVITT. Captain Stephen Winslow, from the eommit ,ee to prepare a memorial of the late Johu F. McDevitt," presented the follotfiuir, which was unaniinou9ly adopted uud ordered to be entered upon the niiLUtet: The memory of the just ia blessed. That grateful thought remains with us as we sadly reflect that iu the death of our lute colleague, John F. McDevitt, bis family have lost an affectionate son and brother, our profession an invaluable and well-beloved m?mb?r, and so cletv one of its brinhtest orna:ueu:s. A simplo narrative ol the lile aud character and works of such as he const'tutee the highest eulogy that can be paid their memories. John F. McDevitt was bom la this city In the year 1340. lie entered the L cust Street Gram mar ischool at an early ae, aud pursued his studies with such marked fidelity and zeal as to cam the frequent comim-ndntiot'S of his teach- eis. In .lulv. 1H54, he wns admitted to the Cen. tial Rich School, and entered upon the full course of four years' study. He speedily be came popular alike wiih pupils and professors, mill iilwuvs held a bitch oositton in his class. lie wns especially successful m declamation, but Le had already imb.bed a taste tor the news paper profession, and devoted hiaiself particu larly to acquiring a kbowlele of the phono graphic art, iu the practice, of which he became very expert in the course of a tew months. In the year Wis, he praduated Irom the institution with distinguished honors and the esteem of all with whom he hal been associated. In the fol io wine vear be became connected with the Com mtrcuil'Ltsl, as a reporter and amanuensis for Wr. Stephen N. Winslow, Sr. He was also a contributor for a lomj'.h of time to the local col umns of the Inquirer, his reports belnsc Invaria bly marked by good sense and accuracy. Sub frequently he Occam e attached to the staff ot the I n sa as a reporter, and discharced his duties in this capacity with such couimoudable ability and industry thot he wai soou elevated to the more responsible position of financial editor. A tier wards he devoted his atten tion solely to the financial depsrtroeut which, under his judicious supervibion. attained A liitih reputation lor reliability. While dis charging this important trust, he nover for a day nealccted the pbouoijrapiiic art, bnt was constantly employed in reporynrr the proceed ings of conventions aud tri lls at law, an well as ecrmons and lcoturt-s lor the tress. As a phouosrrapher his ability was admitted to be ot the highest order, and many cf his law reports will be of Incalculable service to the legal pro fession in all future years. At the same time lie contributed frequently to the columns cf the Oaihono H'.andard and the Universe, and during the late Ka6ter festival at the Cathedral, he edited a little daily journal, entitled "The Cathedral Tablet, or Plea-aut Memories." It is a Me.nal proof of the unl!ugiug energy of the subject of our memoir, that while busied with these multifarious cares and duties and others arisiug from his portion as secretary of the High School Aljinni Association,, secretary of the PLilopu'rian Institute, aad membership with various literary societies, he nevertheless found time to commence the i-tudy of the law, for which he had acquired a tu-.le, and in which he had gained considerable hisinht in his re Tort oiial practice. About M mouths ago he was admitted to the bar, and contemplated fully adopting this protes-don, wbn iea'.U closed bis liriahtund promisine career of no hie us-tulne-s. expired at his reidi-nce in this city at eleven o'clock on the niorniiifT of July 14 last, after two weeks of intense neony r,:.unuii; horn influtnma ation of the bo els.
