George Taylor died at his residence, in this place, on Tuesday morning, of last week, about 0 o'clock. The Court, which was emu in session, immediately adjourned, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon a meeting of the Bar was held in the Court House, and On motion of John Williamson, Esq., John G. Miles, Esq., was called to the Chair. On motion of lion. R. M. Speer, J. M. Id - iley and K. Allen Lovell, Esqrs., were appointed Secretaries. We are indebted to R. M'Divitt, Esq., for the following report of the proceedings and re marks made on the occasion. Mr. Miles, on assuming his seat, said I wish to say a word, or two, iu regard to the mel ancholy circumstance, which prompts us to meet here, to take into consideration what is proper to be one, under the circumstance, of this solemn dispensation which has called from us this brother and tuember of this Bar, and we may say of the liar of the entire State, for Judge Taylor was cer tainly a distinguished light in the profession. He adorned this Bench upwards of twenty years, serv ing out almost two terms under elections, and about two years of a previous term by appoint ment. He discharged his duties faithfully as a Judge, wills credit to himself and the country. Ile had one very distinguishable feature, a marked trait in his judicial character, which ought to mark the judicial character of every man, who attempts to administer the law, that is he had unswerving firmness and uprightness of purpose. No party nor individual could swerve him from his straight for ward path of conviction. He knew nobody, but held the scales of justice equally balanced between friend and foe; between political friend and politi cal foe. Ile seemed to know no party upon the Bench. He has been stricken down, we may say, comparatively in early life, being between the ages of 58 and 59 yearswhcn called to his final account. It is proper that wo mingle our sympathies with the members of his family, in the r great bereave ment, for they have lost a friend. His children have lost a father, and his widowed wife has lost a husband. Other relatives mourn his death but it is our duty here to submit to the righteous dispen sation of Providence. God knows what is best for each one of us, and this only serves to admonish us that our time will soon come, and we will have to part and leave mourning friends ; and I can only say to you, ,gentlemen of the Bar, and brother members, cultivate the uprightness of purpose which characterised the life of Judge Taylor; and when we leave this earth and go to unknown lands, may you leave as upright a character and worth in your legal relations as he has in his judicial. We are now ready for any action that may be taken. Mr. Speer, said Mr. President: It certainly is befitting thatthe members of the Bar, on this occuion, should meet, not alone to mingle their grief over the loss which we have sustained, in the death of Judge Taylor, but also to render deserved and honorable tribute to his upright and able life. In our profession it cannot be denied that in his death a great man has fallen. As a Judge, I think I can say, uttering the unanimous voice of the Bar in this Judicial Dis trict, that Judge Taylor, iu this State at least, had few equals, and no superiors. His judicial life was marked by those traits of character which always adorn his station ; his innate and overpowering love of justice, his strong and commanding sense of the right, and his firmness to follow the right as God gave him to see it. And yet, in his love of justice and unbending judicial firmness, he had a heart that ever responded to the calls of mercy, and when it became his solemn duty to pronounce the judgment of the law upon those who had offended against the law, his heart always yielded to the dictates of mercy. When the sword of justice fell upon the head of the guilty he burnished its blade with the sweet sunshine of mercy. In giving this tribute to his memory, I but speak the voice of my own heart, and I believe the unbroken voice of the members of the Bar, in this county and district.— As a Judge, he adorned his station, and discharged its duties with impartiality, ability, and unpureha sed integrity. I never saw a man upon the Bench who had a quicker and clearer perception of the law, or a greater capacity to see the right and dis tinguish it from the wrong. I never saw a man whom it was more difficult to mislead, or who could sift,with greater readiness, the wheat from the chaff, —the grains of gold from the sand—and as be has gone now, and see are met here in the presence of his opening grave, we can bear honest and deserved testimony to his upright life, his distinguished ability, his kind heart, and the honored memory which he leaves behind him. Beginning life as he did, in the vale of poverty, with neither name, wealth or position to aid him, his upward course to honor and fame was the result of his own great ability, pure purpose and unpurchasable integrity; and I feel, Mr. President, that the richest legacy that he has left to us and his family, is a name unpolluted by the charge of corruption, and a mem ory unsullied by any unworthy act in his judicial and official capacity. Ile goes down to his grave, thus early in life, with the praises and the benedic tions of all who have known him, as an upright Judge, and as the noblest work of God—an honest man. That name and memory are dearer than any earthly possession; than either wealth, place or Rower; and it will be well for us, Mr. Chairman, in view of our great and unquestioned loss, under the cloud of unbroken grief and sorrow which over spreads us to-day, if we take this lesson to our hearts, that the highest reward this earth affords is that of a life honestlyand faithfully spent in the disdiarge of public and personal duty. . _ . _ I move that a committee of five members of the Bar be appointed to draft reeolutious expressive of the sense of the Bar at this meeting, upou our great loss. Mr. Brown said, Mr. President: My acquaintance with Judge Taylor does not extend bank to the time when he was, like ourselves, a member of the Bar, but it begins with the beginning of his judicial career. On the morning of April 9, 1819, I walked from my home, six miles distant. in the country, to enter upon the study of the law, in the office of Mayor Campbell, and remember that as I came up this street the Court House hell rang for Court, at 9 o'clock, and soon after Judge Taylor entered this house for the first time as a Judge. His commis sion was read, and he took his seat on that Bench, in the position you now occupy, a position he oc cupied every day that the court has been in ses sion since, until yesterday when it was vacant. How he discharged his duties as a Judge, and of his character and virtues, it is needless for me to speak to this audience composed of the members of the Bar, officers of the court, and his fellow citi zens. We know him and his character and vir tues, and to know them is to respect them. He was a man, as has been said, of sterling integrity, un purchased and unpurchaseable. It is true that, as 8. member of the Bar, and officer of the Court, we were thrown into more intimate relation to him than others, and would therefore be better able to speak of him ; but while that is so, the relations we bore did also, more or lees,endanger collisions; and while they sometimes doccur—and I regret that they ever did—yet that they occurred so sel dom, was perhaps to the credit of Judge Taylor, and due to his kindness of heart more than to our discretion as members of the Bar. Every true at torney makes the cause of his client his own, and, with his sympathies enlisted in that cause, and every power of his mind strained towards the so eqmplishinent of that end, it could not be other wise than that collisions would sometimes take place, but, as I have said, it is to the credit of the head of the Court that.they occurred so seldom. I know and you know that when they did occur they cost his Honor, Judge Taylor, sincere regret, and that he sought the first occasion to remove the sting occasioned sometimes by hie hasty words, nod when owing to the perplexities of his position, and the over zeal of attorneys, any estrangements occurred, be took early occasion to repair and re wove the unpleasant feeling. This we all know, who are members of the Dar. I have only to say, fur myself, that up till re cently my relations with him have been of the most friendly character; and now that he is gone, I am glad, that never by tongue or pen, have I ever used any harsh language towards him, and can say sincerely that I entertaiu,and ever have enter tained towards him, the most kindly feelings. It is to be regretted that the last days of his life were somewhat embittered and rendered unhappy by the political strife of last summer. But Judge Taylor is gone, Iris death has been, perhaps, hastened by this turmoil and e4eitetnent ; but we can all bear testimony that a great man, and a wise Judge has fallen, and it behooves us to re member that where he lies we soon mast lie. Of his preparation for the great change let another speak. Judge Taylor was a believer, and looked fur pardon to a higher power than any earthly Court. Let us pause thus, in the busy strife of life, and profit by the solemn warning which his death affords us, John Williamson, Esq., said Mr. President : I rise deeply sensible of the lots which the Bar of Huntingdon county has sustain ed. Many of us have lola a personal friend. I was very much attached.personally, to Judge Tay lor: he has gone the way of all the earth, and we are following rapidly in hie footsteps. I re member him when only a poor boy, Veen. to this county to write in the office of D. R. Porter, Esq. I remember the wonderful promise he then gare of a mind capable of almost reaching the highest climax in any department be might choose in life. I was struck with the precocious genius then dis played by him. He and I often bad convoreations on religious subjects, an I remember well of him writing out a thesis on the subject of the Bible, which would have done credit to any Theologian, and which furnished the strongest evidence of his belief in the doctrines of christianity. Judge Taylor was always a man of great integrity and honesty, and of his kindnees of heart and purity of purpose all can bear witness who knew him. But, as the poet has said, "The way of death must be trodden by all." His example should be imitated by every member of the Bar so that all feelings of auituosity be buried in oblivion, and that the character of our Bar may come up to the perfect standard it once had. You, air, are the oldest member 4f this liar, and I am the next. All the luminaries which owe aderned it have paid the debt of nature. Informer days 1 tried many cases before Judge Taylor, and always considered him the equal of Judge Burnsider, as a man who knew nothing but justice, and I never knew a man having a good ease to lose it before him. I sorrow that the law has lost one eine best !nowhere, and remember of presenting his name in Convention in connection with the Supreme Bench, as the best law writer of any Common Pleas Judge in Penn sylvania, and of Thaddeus Stevens adding to it, ' , including the Supreme Court." But with all his learoing and all his virtneS he has gone to hie ac count, to answer for hie deeds, and hope qnd be- bore that for a man of such integrity and christian principles as I knew be possessed, we may sorrow only as those that have hope. I loved_ him as a man, respected him as a Judge, honored him for his learning, and gloried in his integrity, and may safely say that I considered him one of the first Judges in the State of Pennsylvania, knowing how he begun, and how he arrived at last to such a po sition as a Ju'ga that every member of the Bar in this eounty and the entire district should be sorry that they have lost him. Wm. P. Orbison, Esq., said, Mr. President: It is with feelings of sadness and sorrow that I arise to speak on this oecasion. I feel that as Judge Taylor and I were fellow-stu dents together, as we came to the Bar about the some time, and an we always maintained relations of friendship, the moat cordial and intimate, it be comes me to add my testimony to that which has been uttered in his favor. As a man of learning, integrity and industry, and at the some time of great ambition and earnest desire to do what is right, and preserve a name unspotted, I cannot but add my testimony to that of those who have spoken in his behalf. I feel that we have lost a friend,— a brother, lamented, who adorned the Bench, and while at the Bar exhibited talents far above medi ocrity. I remember well when. as a student, and after being admitted to the Bar, we attended to gether at our debating societies, and he always took a vigorous hold of every question, anal with logical arguments enforced his opinions, and gen erally carried his side of the case. I remember how well when, after admitted to the Bar, and on the occasion of the trial of McConally for murder, ho first made his brilliant and remarkable display of eloquence, oratory and argument, when the whole house, for three or four hours sat with un swerving attention, and with the greatest eager ness hung on his words throughout the whole of his argument, seeming, at the close, to be sorry he was done ; and yet every step he took made an im pression, from which the jury and audience could not get away, that the man was guilty; while all depended upon a chain of circumstantial evidence, which be presented in such a clear, logical manner as to enforce upon the mind of every one the con viction that he was guilty. Sineethat he practised at the Bar, part of the time in partnenhip with the Chairman, and afterwards by himself, when called in 1849 to the Bench, appointed first by Governor Johnston. With all these recollections of the Judge, and the intimate relationship that existed between us, I cannot but add my testimony to what bee been already said, and express may great sor row that he has been called so early away from our midst. The motion was adopted, and Messrs. Speer, Williamson, Orbison, Alyton and Cremer ap pointed a committee, who reported the follow ing resolutions : liavingheard with profouni sorrow of the death of lion. George Taylor, President Judge of the Courts of this Dis trict, which occurred at his residence this morning, and recognizing in this sad event, a common loss sad a public bereavement, and expressing the unanimous voice of the Bar of this County, we do Resolve: . . Ist. That Judie Taylor, by his modest manner, his em inent ability, his spotless integrity and his unquestioned fairness, has discharged the doties of President Judge of this District for more than twenty-two years, in such a manner as to make honorable his high office, to deserve and receive the unshaken confidence of the people, and to surround his name when living. and his memory now, when dead, with the highest reword of honest labor,—the grateful acknowledgment of duty well and faithfully done. 2d. hat, in the presence of his opening grave, we de clare him to have beet an honest man and a fearless, able, and incorruptible Judge, the deafness and strength of whose mind were equalled only by the warmth and kind nem of his heart. 3d. 11;71;;;;ng begun the struggle of lif unaided and alone,his steady march to deserved distinction was alike the reward of his great ability and his conscientious dis charge of public duty. 4th. That eminent as he was in official life, and much as he will be missed and mourned in the Courts over which helms so long and so acceptably presided, the tenderness and affection of hie heart, and the kiudnms of hie nature, do bly endeared him to his family and his friends, to whom in this hour of their grief, wo tender Vie poor consoution of onr unmixed sympathy. stn. That as our last tribute to the memory of the hon ored dead, we will attend his funeral in a body, and wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days; and we here by direct these resolutions to be presented to the Court, to be entered upon its records, a copy furnished to his family, and that they be published in all the parers of this Dis trict. On motion of J. W. Vattern, Esq., the above resolutions were adopted. On motion of John Williamson, Esq., the meeting adjourned to meet in this room on the day of the funeral, in conjunction with the members of the Bar from the other counties of the district. Thursday afternoon, Nov. 16th, being the day fixed for the funeral a joint meeting of the members of the Bench and Bar of the 24th Judicial District of Pennsylvania, composed of the counties of Blair, Cambria, and Hunting don, suggested by the death of Hon. George Taylor, late its President Judge, was held in the Court House at 1} o'clock, p. m. Hon. John Dean was, on motion, called to the chair, and Aug. S. Landis and K. Allen Lovell, Esqs., elected Secretaries of the meet- in The President, on taking the chair, in a few appropriate remarks, referred to his ten years acquaintance with the deceased, and spoke with impressiveness of the great fidelity to du ty which characterized his useful life. P. M. Lytle, Esq , moved the appointment of a committee of two members of the Bar, and an Associate Judge from each county of the district, to prepare resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, which motion was adopted, and the Chair appointed Hon. Jos. Irwin, Hon. Samuel Calvin, and Col. B. A. McMurtrie, of Blair county ; Hon. George W. Easly, Robert L. Johnston, and George M Reade, Esqs., of Canibria county; Hon. D. Clarkson, Hon John Scott, and P. M. Lytle, Esq., of Huntingdon county. The committee, through the Hon. John Scott, reported the following resolutions : The members of the Bench and Bar of the 24th Judici al District of Pennsylvania, assembled to express their feel ings upon the death of lion. George Taylor, late its Presi deut Judge, feel that they are called to pay &tribute to the memory of no ordinary man. We come not only to bear testimony to the purity and ability of his judicial adminis tration, but also to drop the teary/bid., is due to the es teemed and beloved friend, for of him it may in truth be said that he had in as high degree as any Judge bon the Bench the warm personal regard of hie judicial associates, and of the gentlemen of the Bar among whome he discharg ed his duties. Added to a strong, clear, discriminating mind, thoroughly disciplined by early study and imbued with the elementary principles of legal science, were a reverence for Supreme authority, a zecognition of his re sponsibility to that authority, a love of justice and a high moral courage. Strong as were his feelings and convictions upon any subject, which might lucid-D.lly mingle in the contest °film Courts, his sense of right was stronger, and of no man who ever eat upon the Bench was there less com plaint of personal biasor partiality to suitor.. If proper to apply to any man the first ideal of a Judge, "an able man, a man of truth, who fears God and hates covetousness" it might he applied told'. Feeling that he has died at the clone of an honorable service of almost a quarter of a cen tury, who we have had every opportunity of observing and learninst the traits of his character bear testimony - to its worth in these brief words, and do resolve Ist. That we will now proceed in a body to attend his funeral, and will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. 2d. That the members of the Bar of the several Counties of the District will take measures to have the proceedings of this meeting plated upon the records of their respective Counties. - . . 3d. That a copy of these proceedings be furnished to the family of deceased, and the same be published in all the newspapers of the District. In the absence of the committee and during the meeting, the following remarks were made by gentlemen present, for a verbatim report of which we are indebted to the same source : David Blair, Esq., said, Mr. President: In view of the circumstances that surround no; we feel like exclaiming, "what shadows we are; what shadows we pursue," when reflecting upon the shortness of life ; and especially are we admonished of that fact by the mortality in the profession in this county, this being the third meeting the Huntingdon County Bar have had for this purpose within one year. J. Sewell Stewart, Esq., lien. Wilson, and now Judge Taylor. I hard ly know what to say iu regard to agentleman whose life and character were public property for the past twenty years, in this section of the State of Penn sylvania. I Gan throw no new light upon a char acter so conspicuous to those who knew the emi nence to which he attained. He was born in Chester county, and raised prin cipally in the same neighborhood with me. 1 met him here in 1836, when I came to practice at this Bar. He had been admitted some time previous to that, together with Menem Orbison, Campbell and Calvin. From that time to this Judge Taylor has been well known to all of us, in the practice of his profession. Ito set oath) , adopting a principle which every young lawyer should, that anything that was worth doing at all was worth doing well, and that nothing was to be treated as a trifle in professional or any other kind of life • and adopting that principle, whatever he undertook to do he did well. Although in the outset of his professional career he was not very extensively engaged in practice, yet what eases lie undertook he prepared and studied with such care and diligence that he could make, and did make, more character out of the trial and argument of a single ease than many a lawyer could out of twenty years practice. This is something of the oharacter qf his start in pro fessional life, and before he had practiced more than six years, he wan appointed to the Bench, in 1819. During that time he had held the office of County Treasurer two yearn, and Practised law, as a member of the firm of Miles Taylor. In 1841, during a very extensive revival of religion in this town, he became a member of the Presbyterian church, and thought seriously for tome time after wards, of studying for the ministry, but for some reason or other gave it up, and continued in the practice of his profoselon. In 1849 he was appoint ed Judge of the 24th Judicial District, a new Dis trict formed at that time, and has held that posi tion from that time to this, a year and a half by appointment, and twenty years by elections. The fiFSt time his qpponerlt wan 1, P. Campbell, 141, now of Davenpqrt, lowa, a man qf ryglt Brilliant talents as a lawyer, one of the finest waken) we we had at our Bar, and q gentlersan of fine social hab its. lie wan the opponent of Judge Taylor, and Judge Taylor was elcdted. In ten leans after he was brought forward as a candidate by petition, signed unanimously by the members of the Bar, in the whole Diatriet, and was sleeted; and now, it happens strangely in the mysterious decrees of Providence, that about the close of his last term, his term of life should end. He was comparatively In the full vigor of manhood yet, and with a great amount of physical strength and mental force; a man of legal learning and great amount of charac ter, he had hopes of a future before him that would even surpass the brilliancy of his past life. But in the midst of his duties, and as observed by the Chairman, "with the harness on," he was stricken down, and died within a period of three weeks from tha time ho was first attacked, and we are called together to-day to call up in the history of his Ho those things which will be proper on an occasion of this kind, and to express our admiration and re gard for him. At a time like this, wo all feel that whatever differences may have taken place, either at the Bar, in social or political life, they should all be forgotten now; and I think they arc all for gotten, and we can, with sincerity, unite as citizens, and as members of a high profession, in doing honor to his memory. We feel that as such we have sustained a'great loss. We feel that the Ju dicial profession of Pennsylvania have sustained a great loss, for it is to minds and intell.ta like Judge Taylor's, and men of his superior abilities, that the advancement is to be made, both in the making and administering the laws. 1 can only i say that I sincerely drop may tears on the grave of my fellow-member of the Bar. Hon. Samuel Calvin, said, Mr. Preeident Many of you have long and in timately known Judge Taylor. but I suppose none more so than I. Soon after I came to this county, in December, 1833, to take charge of the Academy in this town, 1 first became acquainted with him. and he was the first intimate friend I had in town. I found that he had been a teacher sometime pre vious, and was at that time engaged in the Pro thonotary's Office with Gov. Porter, then Prothon otary. In the fall of 1833-4 I organized a debat ing eociety in the old Academy, un the canal, now torn down, and the Judge was the most prominent member of that association. We had many in teresting debate., and a number of the members of the Bar were members of that association, includ ing Mr. Orbison, Mr. M'Murtrie, and others. It was entertaining and instructive, but I do not re member the performance of any of them so dis tinctly ns that of Judge Taylor. His speeches were of decided ability, eloquent, and of finished oratory. He cold me, I remember, that he would frequently write out a sentence and transcribe it three or tour thnee, correcting and improving it. He wad in the habit, after thinking or hearing people talk on subjects of interest, of sitting dawn and writing out his thoughts on the arguments, and would oftentimes transcribe them to get them into such shape and form, having the arguments arranged in such logical sequence, and the style so improved as to conform to his judgment. He was not a man of learning; but a good common scholar, and after studying law he studied Latin to some extent. But one of his most remarlcable features was his wonderful power of analysis, and his clear statement. No matter how complex a ease was, or how much the members of the Bar might be at a lose, they had not heard his analysis of the case, Isis statement of the principles of jus tice that lay at the bottom, until it was very dear where the truth lay. His analysis was all argu ment, and was almost sufficient without anything further. Ile had a mathematical mind strong and decided, and I think it was by this early training that he became such a remarkably concise, meth odical and clear writer. You nee.' rend a charge of his, or any production from hie pen, that he attempted a description, that you did not discover that distinct and clear analysis of all the princi ples involving the case ; that clear statement and logical sequence of ideas. the speeches were of the disnacteric order, always commencing with the weaker points, and terminating with the stronger. We both set out to practice law under Judge Burn sides, a most excellent, honest, true hearted and public spirited man, but as hard a judge as ever presided, and there was not one of us that did not feel afraid to try a case before him without some of the older lawyers at our back. The Judge formed an association with Mr. Miles, who took the lead in all civil trials, but the Judge had his full share in the preparation of the cases, and generally un derstood them well. His first great speech was in 1840, in the old Court House, in the case of the Commonwelth vs. M'Conahy, for one of the most atrocious murders, or series of murders ever per petrated in the country, and there never was a case that excited more intense public feeling. If that man had been acquitted, I have no doubt, that even in good moral Huntingdon county he would have been torn to pieces by the populace. Messrs. Bell, Wilson and myself were assigned to defend him, and I remember when we endeavored to turn the current in hie favor, the crowd was ready to mob us when we went oat of the Court House. In that case Judge Taylor was associated with Prosecuting Attorney, Alex. G win, Esq., in' the preparation and prosecution of the case, and ho and Mr. Gwin bad gone la the ground, made a map of it, and examined every witness beforehand, I and had a most thorough preparation; but when In got up to make that opening speech, for four hours he poured forth such a torrent of argumen tation and eloquence as I never heard before in any court of justioe. The speech was afterwards published in pamphlet form, and cannot but be pro nounced one of the finest arguments ever heard in a criminal case. it was intensely earnest and overwhelming, and no one felt it more than I did, being called upon to follow him as junior counsel in the defense. He told me frequently of an ar gument made by him, in the ease of the Elanigans, in Cambria county, which he believed equal to the one made against M'Conahy, and in which he did not observe them lighting the candles, and took no note of the lapse of time until reminded by Mr. Miles that he had already spoken three hours. In many reepects I considered Judge Taylor a re markable man. He took up everything inn case, and sot merely one side. His mind was so com prehensive that he appeared to know everything in n ease, aunt gave the proper force and weight to every part of it, so shot it was seldom that we alle ceeded an reversing him. I once had five cane carried up and told him 1 would reverse him in four of these, but to my utter astonishment they were all affirmed before 1 got home. excep t one which was affirmed the other day at Pittsburgh, in which ease the substantial justice, I have no hesitation in saying, was against us. His social qualities were well known. Of undoubted integrity, unhes itating truth and veracity, and a man of honor; no man ever knew him to do a mean act or utter a sentiment that would net meet the approbation of every one. lie appeared to grasp a ease at once, and was certainty, in my judgment, the finest writer in the Judicial District. I think his writings, whether Judicial or any other, were as clear, methodical, concise and powerful, and as strong a representation of the ease as could be done by any one. His opinions, written or spoken will compare favorably with those of any judge, whether Common Pleas, or the Supreme Bench, and were models of learning. He has now left us. We will see him no more. We have been familiar with his face and in communication with him for years; but we will meet him no more on this side of the grave. I have been on the most frindly terms with him from the beginning. His was one of my earliest friendships when I cams here a young man, a stranger in a strange land. I found in him a genial whole sealed companion, and from that to his death I was one of his friends. a a a a a e There were few men that I had more respect for. True he had his faults: but who that is human has not. Even the Sun has its dark spots, and everything human must be more or less imperfect; but his virtues were of the highest order, and I shall continue to cherish, during my life all the re spect awl kindness for him that I ever had. Hon. Jno Scott, said : M. President: I have felt my own sentiments so fully expressed by what has dropped from Mr. Calvin. that I have very little to add. I well re collect the first 000asion upon which I met Judge Taylor. It was in Alexandria, after he had ad dressed a very large public audience, and the ad dress delivered that day, when I was very young, made upon my mind so strong an impression, by its power, its earnestness and its logic, as well as the pare forcible English, to which Mr. Calvin has alluded, that I have never forgotten it, and I think, if called upon to-day, I could give its divisions and arguments. This was about the time I had made up my mind to study law, and after that meeting was over, during an hour's conversation with him in my father's house, I perhaps received the first real lessons of a student, for be gave me what was his own experience in that direction. From that day to this I may say, we have been friends. When I came to the Bar the first important case in which I was concerned was one in which I was associated with hint, and that case revealed to me, not only the remarkable power whioh he possessed, but also another characteristic, to which Mr. Calvin has not alluded, but one which I think we will all unite in saying was a characteristic of his great ability, and that was his unwillingness to go before the public in any display of that ability that he could avoid. That was the case of Cryder's appeal which went to the Supreme Court, and it was only because of bis persistence in refusing to appear before that tribunal that the argument fell upon me. In 1845 he went upon the Bench, and from that day to this, in all the relations that existed between counsel at the Bar, and Judge upon the Bench, not only in this Court but in others of the District, where I practiced, our intercourse has been marked by friendship. I have had occasion, I suppose, as all other members of the Bar have, at times to feel that my clients bad not obtained what they were eptitled to; but, upon reviewing the case,l have generally found that the opinion was the error of the advocate, instead of the calm decision of the Judge; but even when my feelings have induced me to go higher, I have in the ma jority of instances, fared as Mr. Calvin has stated. He was an honest man—he was a just man ; and, sir. permit me to say that you hav e go greater task before you than tq fill the measure of the honesty and the justice which this District accords to your predeceseor, r Ineed not enter into any expression of friend ship, or of the feelings awakened by the severance of the ties that existed so long. Whatevor occa sion there may have been, in the 25 years that have elapsed sines I came to the Bar, fur difference of eentiment or opinlon, I shall drop the tear of sincere friendship over his grave, Augustus S. Landis, Esq., said Mr. Fruitiest:l have not, sir, heard one of what might be called the junior members of the Bar, pay any tribute yet to the memory of Judge Taylor. and I may be exonced for claiming the attention of the meeting for a few momenta. I have known Judge Taylor for 14 years, which I believe covers about the time I have been at the Bar. I met him as a stranger, and well I remember that he was present on the eve that I was examined, when I tirg bora 1 4 knoa , him, perhaps, like all other young membecs of the liar on meeting the Judge, I was impressed with the great distance that seemed to exist between as; the far of atand peipt be oeoupiect from ice, tie ono who had achieved honors on the Bench, and greatness, who had won the respect of his fellow men, and of the Bar on one hand, and I, an humble aspirant for piroles- Monet success, as it were just letting down the bars leading to the great field that lay before me. I felt that the presence of the Judge was almost forbid ding, and remember well when I first appeared be fore him in Court, and the feelings of dread and trembling with which I approached the duty of making answer for the defendant in some case. I was clearly wrong, but the point I wish to snake is the kindness and gentleness with which lie pointed out my mistake, and which wade such au impres sion upon me that I shall never forget it. That was ono of the first kind impressions I had of him. As other business came into my hands I came to know him better, but then it was that I began to understand the great qualities of which I thought him possessed; and now as I take a retrospect of those 14 years I claim it as a privilege to have been admitted by him, and to have practised in his Court, because I believe that he must rank amongst the first Judges in the State, and perhaps if the facilities bad been afforded him his fame might rival that of Judge Gibson. I have often been im pressed with the marked clearness with which he viewed the questions in a case and often when sup posing I understood all the questions in it, I only discovered, when I heard one of his clear, strong and forcible charges, that I knew nothing about it. His was a mind capable of comprehending all the principles of a ease and of laying it before a jury with such clearness that the entry to the jury room was but the legal formality to the recording of a verdict. I only desire to pay this tribute to his abilities as a Judge, and also to the qualities of his heart, as I learned to know him. He always treatad me with the utmost kindness, as was his invariable custom to treat all the yoang members of the Bar. I esteem it, sir, a melancholly pleasure to be here to-day, to join with raj brethren of the profession, in paying this tribute to his memory, and follow ing his remains to their last resting place. It is One of the beautiful features in our profession that when one is stricken down by the hand of death, we forget for the moment all the bitterness of the past, and that we ever were adversaries, and come togetheras a band of brothers to pay our devotion to the memory of the stricken one, and follow him to his last resting plate. I therefore esteem it a pleasure to be here for that purpose. But, sir, has it not occurred to you, as remarked by Mr. Blair, that these occasions are frequent of late, when we are called upon to bear testimony to our feelings for some one departed in this county and others, stricken down by the hand of death? Now, sir, what are we to think of this ? Are we, as educated men, endeavoring to fill a position inn high and honor able profession, to be forgetful of the great truth of a life beyond this, and come together thought lessly and carelessly, to pay a tribute to the mem ory and pass resolutions in regard to those who have passed away, and think nothing of the great truth which lies behind it all? I feel that, as mem bers of the profession, we have a higher duty to claim our attention. These Providenees I hold should make their proper impression on us. We must not forget the high responsibility we owe to the Great Judge above us. These slays are only as it were loaned to us. We are here for other purposes than filling the mere pleasures of our earthly stations in life. I trust as we assemble thus, from time to time, we shall not forget the great lesson of life. I was assured by one who spent some time with Judge Taylor, shortly after his illness, that from the time when he was first stricken by disease up to that time, he was truly thankful that his mind was left to him unimpaired, though it might truly almost be said that one-half of his body was in the grave. It was a God's mercy that the portion of that body was yet strong and that his mind was left him to view his past life, and he stated that the impression of early years, and the faith once gr sited to him had come back to him as strong It+ ever, and that be still had an abiding confidence in the redeeming power of the saviour. It was a great privilege that when his body was robbed of its vitality that his mind was left, and only seemed to drop at last like a pall upon it. Let us therefore take the lesson of this sad occurence, and remember the responsibility we owe to the Great Judge above us. It is a great thing for a man who has been a Judge for twenty years to pass away to the Great Judge above that he in turn may be judged. We pass through these courts to another Court, and let us lire and prepare ourselves that it shall be said of us that we have acquitted ourselves like men. P. H. Lytle, Esq., said s Mr. President: I don't feel like allowing this oc casion to pass without joining Mr. Landis in at testing the feeling of high regard which theyoung er members of the Bar entertained and should en tertain for our deceased Judge. I presume that no young member of the Bar has been on terms of more intimate friendship with him than myself. I have been at the Bar about nine years, and came at first fearing the Judge, it is true, like Mr. Lan dis; but I did not fear the Judge after I became acquainted with him. Ever since that time I have found him my true friend. He lived my friend and I believe that he died my friend. I never needed advice but what I found it upon application to Judge Taylor. His heart was always as open as his band. To his legal ability I can pay no high er tribute than that pronounced by Chief Justice Thompson, when he said that Judge Taylor was the ablest President Judge in the State. Every one here knows what his social qualities were, and no one who mingled with him in daily intercourse entertained for him anything but the highest re gard. This is not alone felt by the members of the Bar, but all classes of society are in mourning to day, on account of his death ; the white and the black, the rich and the poor. I can say nothing to add to the eulogies pronounced upon him. He was a good man, and I glory in the opportunity of be ing here to-day, and having the privilege of drop ping a tear upon the sod where a good man rests. THEODORE TILTON'S LECTURE.—We attended the Lecture of Theodore Tilton, on Wednesday evening last, at Tyrone, under the auspices of the "Juneauta Club," and were highly pleased Witt the masterly manner in which the lecturer handled his subject— " Home, Sweet Home." His peculiar views upon Marriage and divorce have been severely criticised by those who are too illiberal and and one-sided to listen to an opposite opinion to that entertained by themselves. Much as we may have been disposed, from prejudice, to controvert, in our mind, some of his extreme positions, we felt that his logic was irresisti ble, and based, apparently upon the be::t of common sense, and if there was anything det rimental to sound morality in it we failed to hear it. And we here desire to say, that we have no sympathy for that class of Prurient Prudes, who are eternally turning up their hands in holy horror, at sons imaginary in dency, and yet whose lives, every day of their existence, gives the lie to their professions. We were not a little annoyed, by the giddy twaddle, of at least two of the female portion of the audience, in retiring from the pail. Af ter listening, for an hour and a half, to one of the grandest pleas ever made in behalf of wo men, even if they differed with the lecturer, a little appreciation, on their part, would have suggested to them the propriety of treating his views with a little respect : Evidently the plea for the elevation and education of women—at least of some of them,-.does not flume a mo ment too early, whether they be capable of ap preciating or not. We were very much de lighted with the Lecture, and freely confess, that much that was so well said was strikingly new to us. ANOTUER MAN KILLED ON TIIE RAIL- SoAD—aeorge Couts, of this place, was killed by the Fast Line, at Spruce Creek on Saturday evening about eight o'clock, under the follow ing circumstances, as near as we could learn them, viz : Couts was employed on a wood train on the Central. He was unwell for sev eral days and had gone on to Tyrone, and on Saturday evening he came down to Spruce Creek, on a freight train, and stopped off. He and a comripe were walking on the rail road, when his comrade suggested that the train would be along in a few moments and that he had better step off, and he did step off partially. His comrade again said : "George, you are not off far enough." He rejoined pet tishly implying that he was, when in a moment the train dashed out of the tunnel and struck him, killing him instantly. Conte was a faithful soldier during the en tire rebellion, and escaped unharmed, and af ter the esplratiou of his enlistment as a vol unteer, he enlisted in the regular service and served a term. He was a single man. He was buried from the residence of his brother, Samuel Costs, in this place, oq Sunday after noon: He was a young man of sober and in dustrious habits and his untimely end is mash regretted by all who knew bigl , JUNIATA VALLEY CAMPMEETINO As- SOCIATION.—At a meeting of the Directors of the Juniata Valley Oampmeeting Assooiation, held in Huntingdon, Nov. 13th, the following officers were elected : President,Rev.

TINSEUE6.—Monday morning, 6th inst., broke bright and beautiful, and at 8 o'clock a. in. a train of ten cars left Martinsburg, well filled with excursionists, and arrived at Hollidays burg, at 9a. m. After remaining here awhile the train proceeded to Altoona and returned at 11 o'clock. At this place the party was joined by a number of our citzeus, who were invited to participate. A splendid car, mag nificently furnished,was supplied for their use, and also the Altoona guests. At half past 11 the train rolled out of the depot at this place and proceeded to the gap. The new portion of the road commences at this point. The road takes the eastern side of the mountain and rapidly ascends till it reaches Upper Maria Forge. As the slope of the mountain is very declivitous great difficulty must have been ex perienced in getting a good bed. But there it is, and solid as the eternal hill it skirts. At Upper Maria, the road by a bold span, by a tressel bridge 47 feet high, across the turnpike and the hollow, leaves the rocky ridge and takes the limestone bluff on the south side of the turnpike. This it pursues, with still as cending grade, till it reaches the Paper Mi.l, where leaving the Paper Mill and Grist Mill, it meets the Woodberry turnpike, and leaving it to the west it makes up into that magifi cent plateau of limestone land called Morrison's Cove. Farm after farm, of the richest soil, is passed, and away in the distant plain are seen the spires of Martinsburg glistening in the morning sun. The Summit is gained, and then down, by easy grade, and Martinsburg, "this loveliest village of the plain," is reached in a few minutes. A large multitude of people were assembled et the Sta..ion to meet the excursionists, and, headed by the Social Band of this place, the crowd formed into procession and marched up to the public square. Here the large assembly was called to order by S. B. Lysinger, Esq., who introduced Prof. Lucien Cort, of the Martinsburg Seminary, who, as one of the railroad committee, gave an informal report of the operations of the committee and announced the completion of the great enterprise upon which the people had embarked. He was followed by S. B. Lysinger , Fsq., and A. S. Landis, Esq., and Hon. S. Cal vin, of Hollidaysburg, who were respectively called upon. These gentlemen congratulated the people of the Cove upon the arrival of the iron horse in their midst, and with complimen tary tributes to the energy of the committee, and the enterprise of the people, predicted a bright future for Martinsburg and Morrison's Cove. At 20 minutes before 4 o'clock, p. m. the train returned to Hollidaysburg, and thence to Altoona. All were delighted with the ex cursion. The citizens of Martinsburg received their friends with great kindness and hospital ity, and the thanks of one and all are due to Maj. Theoph. Snyder, Col. J. C. Everhart, Jacob S. Nicodemus,A. J. Anderson, Dr. Bloom, H. S. Crawford, Fred. Hyle, and Prof. Cort, members of the committee, for their untiring efforts, from the beginning to the conclusion of the whole railroad project, and also to John A. McFadden, Esquire Zuck, L. A. Oellig, and others for their courtesies and kind attentions extended to the guests and strangers present on this occasion. The Railroad to Martinsburg from this place is about fourteen miles long, and for pictur esque and diversified scenery will be considered unsurpassed by any of the same length owned by the Pennsylvania R. R. company. The de parture from this crossing of the river to the mountain affords, in an instant, an entire change of scenery. The route along Short Mountain, with the Reservoir stretched out like a beautiful Lake on the right, fringed on the north side with the shadows of McCloskey's Ridge, is beautiful in the extreme. This view is now greatly impaired by the low stage of water. The road then enters the Gap between Dunning's and Short Mountains. This is a very narrow defile—wide enough for the old pike, the Roaring Spring Run, the railroad, and Martha Furnace. This furnace is located just at the point of Dunning's Mountain. It belongs to the Hollidaysburg Iron Company, but is now being run by our worthy fellow citizen, B. M. Johnston, Esq., under the man agement of our whiom genial townsman, Maj. J. R. Crawford. It is an adjunct of Mr. John ston's rolling Mills at this place, The road then passes Lower Maria Forge, owned by Ess. Hammond, Esq., proprietor of Sarah Furnace and Franklin Forge; then past Rodman Fur nace, owned by the Duncan heirs, but lately leased by Chas Knapp, Esq., of Pittsburg; then past Middle and Upper Maria Forges, also owned by the Duncans ; then by the Paper and Grist Mills of Morrison, Bare & Co., and then over and through as beautiful a belt of farms as can be found anywhere in Pennsyl vania, to Martinsbnrg—Ahe present terminus. It is being rapidly pushed six miles further on, and will be completed by the first of Decem ber, to the Cambria Iron Company's iron ore mines, known as Henrietta, but commonly called "Leather cracker." We protest against this little scrap of nomenclature. 'Leather crack er" may be sonorous, but it is neither sweat nor beautiful We hope the Cambria Iron Syndicate will abolish it. The Woodberry people talk of carrying the road on five miles farther to their village ; then Pattonsville is ready to take it up ; and when there it will go to the Bedford road. So let it be. It is destined very soon to be come a through route. If the Woodberry and Pattonsville people evince the energy and en terprise of our own and the Martinsburg people, they can, before the close of 11372, be upon a through route from the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Altoona, to a point on the Southern system of railroads. The tonnage of the road is already very large, and, when completed to Henrietta, will amount to from five hundred to a thousand tons a day, to say nothing of passenger travel. When completed through, three-fourths of the travel to Bedford Springs will pass over this road, and it bids fair to become, in a very short time, one of the most important and profitable of all the branches of the Pennsylvania Rail road.—Hollidaysburg Standard. PITTSBURGH FEMALE COLLEGE—WIN- Tell TErig.-,Many of our readers will he inter ested in the announcment that the winter term, of the Pittsburgh Female College, will commence on Monday evening, December 11th. 1 Among the requisites are good buildings, a well selected course of study, a full and com tent Faculty, and judicious and faithful over sight. The College - possesses all these, and much more, in an eminent degree, The buildings are large, beautifully and tastefully fitted up and well furnished. The course of study has been selected with great care. The Faculty numbers twenty-two experienced teachers. The Literary department is well supplied, and there are special teachers for all the ornamen tal branches. There are four music teachers, native teachers of Frenclr and German, teach ers of drawing, painting, needlework, wax work, kc. And notwithstanding the college has no peer in the State, and but few equals anywhere, the total charges for boarding, light, furnished and carpeted room, fuel, church Bitting and washing are but two hundred and ten dollars per year—less thin any school in the United States affording equal advantages and ac2om modations. If you have daughters to oduc,,te send to the President, Rev. I.C. Pershing, D. D., Pittsburgh, Pa., for a catalogue, and do not go 1 farther and fare worse.

Tit WAY TO LOOK AT IT.—A friend of the JOURNAL writes us under date of Nov. 15th, 1871, thus: "1 like your editorials and general news, and will be very much pleased to contin ue my subscription, althoughlam taking three newspapers, and one magazine besides. I ful ly endorse the sentiment in your issue of this week—"tlz THAT ATTgxr.Ts To RAISE A FAMILY, WITHOUT GIVING IT THE ADVANTAGE OF A NEWS PAPER, IN THIS ENLIGHTENED AGE, IS CRIMINALLY IRON ORE IN SOUTHERN PENNSYL VANIA.—The recent discovery of immense beds of iron ore in Bedford county, Pa., has had the effect of stimulating enterprise in a won derful degree in that section of the State. The new railroad from the terminus of the Hun tingdon and Broad Top, to a point on the Baltimore and Ohio road, in the heart of the Cumberland coal region, hasbeen completed as far asTedford, and the whole track will be laid and in moving order by the first of the New Year. This road will be immediately stocked, and starts out with an assured freight of a million of tons a year, from the Cumberland mines alone. This will pass over the Broad Top road to Huntingdon, and thence over the Penn sylvania Central to Philadelphia, New York and other shipping points. In addition sev eral large furnaces will be shortly erected along the line of this new road, which will add targly to the freight business of the new road. The iron ore of Bedford county is said to equal in quality the finest to be found any where in the United States.—Philadelphia in dustrial Protector. LIE WAY SOME PEOPLE PAY THE PILINTER.—A few days ago we made out and presented, through the post office, to the gen tleman who has just been elected Coroner by the Republican party, the following little bill: "1117NTINGDON, Pa., Nov. 17, 1871. Mr. James Bricker To J. R. Durbotrow & Co., Dr. 1871. ' ' Oct. 11, To printing Tickets—Coroner, $5.00." This bill was returned to us with the follow ing written across the face of it : "Loos TO THOSE WHO EMPLOYED YOU. I CANNOT SEE IT." We want the Coroner to hold an inquest upon the aboveaccount, and if condemned, it will be for sale. Do you "see it" now ?
