in the heat of debate, though quick of
temper, hti was dignified and courteous,
and dealt fairly with his adversary, at
the same time showing -a marked dif
ference to the Court now rarely seen.
Such conduct, however, was dot studied.
A more kind, amiable and excellent dis
position falls to the lot of few men. His
heart was full of tenderness and affec
tion; his attachments were ardent; his
resentments few. In his intercourse with
the bar, he was all that politeriess could
I require, and more than ordinary cour
tesy could ask. For the young aspirant
toiling along the, weary way of profes
sional life, he had a smile of encourage
ment and a hand of help.. If applied to
for information upon an intricate subject,
he opened the storehouse of bis knowl
edge and experience and gave out all he
had. Ho sent no one empty away. His
library was a resort far the junior mem
bers of the profession, who looked upon
him as a father, and felt guilty of
no intrusion when accepting his
kindness. Added to these winning
traits he was a gentleman in its

as the arrow he drew from his 'quiver,
pleasing in his address and delivery, af
fable, modest and scrupulously neat in
his person and apparel, he was • a noble
specimen of a polished gentleman and an
able lawyer. • He was, morover, entirely_
angelfish. The love of money had never
thrust its poisonous root into his bosom,
for there was no soil to nurture it there.
He loved and followed his profession` as
a science, at once attractive-and noble,
without degrading it to the base use of
mere money-getting, esteeming it more
h6norable to be eminent in his vocation,
than rich and- unlearned. His honor
was as untarrilahed at the hour of his
death-as it had been throughout his
-long
professional carreiti, for he led a pure
and blameless life, scorning to yield to
-the blandishments and allurements that
too often lead others astray.
, In all the relations of life, he exhibited
traits of character that endeared him to
a large circle of relatives and friends,
who must now with sorrow see himJcen
signed to the tomb. His eventful e`iiielir
has closed, but howjoyful for them to
contemplate it, filled with good " deeds
and precious with sacred memories. His

who thus passes away.
At the conclusion of Mr. Hampton's
remarks B. 'F. Lucas, Esq., addressed
the meeting. He said it would be more
gratifying to him to hear some one else,
who, perhaps, knew Judge Shaler for a
much longer time than he had, eulogize
him, but be felt it his duty to add his
testimony to what had been already said
of his viet=es. He had known the de
ceased under . different circumstances
from what those who had already spoken
of him had, and he could say heartily ,
that he knew him to be an honest man.
At the conclusion of Mr. Lucas' re
marks the resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
On motion of A. W. Foster, Esq., it
was resolved that the members of the
bar and judges of the several Courts, as
semble at the Conrt House at one o'clock
P. at., and proceed thence to the Union
Depot, to receive the remains of the de
ceased and, escort them to Trinity
Church.
On motion of Hon. T. 'J. Bigham, the
officers of the meeting were authorized
to till the blank in the last resolution, by
appointing a person to deliver an address
on the profession and character of the
deceased, together with the history and
organization of the Courts : with which he
was con a cted.
l AT THE DEPOT.
A larg number of persons had assem
bled at the Union Depot awaiting, the ar
rival of the train upon which the re
mains ware expected. The train for
some reason was detained and did not
arrive until-three o'clock, almost an hour
later than when it was expected. The
.1, corpse', 'accompanied by the friends,
Jse were in a special car, and as soon after
ide- its arrival as:possible the realms, which
ind were enclosed in an elegant , rosewood
dm coffin, were taken in charge by the pall
bearers, twenty in number, appointed by
ds the Masonic fraternity, and carried
le through the depot, followed by the
I friends and members of the bar to the
front entrance, where a hearse awaited
the corpse and a number of carriages to
carry the friends and pall bearers. .
TRINITY CHURCH.
On arriving at the church the remains
were met at the entrance by the four
officiating clergymen in surplice, Rev.
Mr. • Scarborough, Rector of Trinity
Church, Rev. Abel Kerfoot, Assistant,
Rev. ',Dr. Preston, Rector of St. An
drew*and Rev. Mr. Crumpton, of Bt.
Paul% and were by them conducted to
the church railing. The first portion of
the -Episcopal burial services were then
read, after which the remains were re
placed in the hearse and escorted to Al

terred with Masonic rites. Over five
hundred members of the Masonic frater

whom accompanied the solemn cortege

unusually large one, and the services
both at the church and at the grave were

lames BroWri and John Pktiefson, two
young men residents of Alngheny, were
arrested and taken before Mayor Drum
last eveniraz, on an information for rape
made against them by Mary Ann Wat
son. The p osecntrix alleges that the de
fendants on Saturday night came to the
house of Moses Trible, at the head of
Federal street, Second ward, where she
was stopping for the night, and after ter
rifying Treble 1 their threats, accom
plished the purpose of their visit by out
raging her person. They then, accord
ing to the allegations, commenced
an onslaught on the house, and tore
Wlown several pictures from the walls,
discharged a loaded gun which they dis
covered on the premises, and otherwise
acted in an outrageous manner. Trim
•bless a colored man and the prosecutrix
a white woman. She seems to have a
bad reputation, which was rather con
firmed by her appearance at the hearing
in an intoxicated condition. After lis
tening to the evidence in the case, the
Mayor discharged the accused on the
information for rape, but fined them ten
dollars and costs each for disorderly
conduct. The woman he committed to
jail for thirty days for drunkennen.
The men paid the fines imposed and
were dismissed.

The New Market Mouses.
The action of the Market Committee
of City Councils looking towards the es
tablishment of a new market place in
some locality where It will prOVf....•l2nye
nient to the people residing in the upper
wards of the city, has met with unquali
fied approval from all of the . citizens re
siding in these localities. Several sites
have been. proposed for the new market
house but of course in the absence of any
authority, from Cciancils to locate the pro
poied cohvenience, the Committee has
g
been pow rless to do anything more than
listen to a
ggeations made. It is probable
that the City Fathers will hold a meeting
this week, at which the subject Will be
brought up 'and, discussed. At the last
meeting a petition for a market house
was received from Lawrenceville and re
ferred to the Committee. It has _not yet
been acted upon but will in all proba
bility be favorably endorsed and return
ed to Councils, as'there is an equal ne
,cessity for a market place in or near
'Lawrenceville as anywhere else. +

roughness experienced in cod weather. It is
found most useful In alleviatr rt..' the irritation
produced by dryness of the skin.
On account of its great purity it recommends
itself to all persons that suffer from the use of
common soaps: for delltate skins it is the only
soap that can be tolerated. I. is particularly
useful for cleansing tilseissed skins where the ir
