CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH 16, 1859.
TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF SB. LORAIN.
At a meeting of the members of the Medi
cal Profession, of Clearfield county, held March
9, 1859, at the office or Dr. K. V. Wilson, in
the Borough of Clearfield, there were present,
Drs. M. Wood, R. V. Wilson, D. O. Crouch,
II. P. Thompson, G. F. Hoop, George Wilson
and J. G. Hartswick.
The object of the meeting being stated, it
was organized as follows : Dr. R. V. Wilson
In the chair, and Dr. D. O. Crouch, Secretary,
On motion, the following was adopted as the
Sentiment of the meeting :
Whereas, Almighty God has been pleased
to remove from our midst, our friend and
brother, Henri Loraiv, M. D., we deem it
bur duty to offer this tribute to the memory
and character of the deceased.
Professional eminence crowned the life and
lalors of tho late Dr. Lorain. Enjoying in
the outset, as a studeut of medicine, distin
guished advantages, he laid the foundation of
what proved afterwards to be a long, useful,
awl honorable career. Thirty-five years of
professional toil and devotion, secured him a
name and place high up in the roll of medical
men. As the brother-in-law and pupil of the
Jate Prof. Dewees, of the Universiiy of Penn
sylvania, he sat at the feet of a great medical
Gamaliel.
Most men, in most vocations, have individu
ality. Dr. Lorain wasdistinguished by marked
trails, admirable in his profession. To be
cent for to be called in, was Tor him to go at
"once. Nothing delayed or prevented him.
Despatch was not only the word, but the act.
Quick to decide, and generally prompt to ex
ecute, he would go, prescribe, and possibly be
half-way back, before many a tartly practition
er would be well on the way. - He accomplish
ed a great deal, in a short time. Delay or iu
attention was never laid to his charge. The
xnminans to the bedside of the poor was o-lK-y-d
with as much alacrity, as that to the
more favored of fortune and their grateful
tears bedew his memory. Though his field of
In bor was wide and rough, he never hesitated.
His habit was energy ; and so it continued to
be until his bodily infirmities began to bear
upon him. In these respects, bis example is
valuable and instructive. Let his juniors and
survivors in the profession follow his example.
The above testimony to the merits of a ven
erable and eminent man. is heartily felf, and
It is believed, truthfully expressed and it is
due to ourselves that we publicly acknowledge
the worth of the deceased. It is due, and
justly, to his memory and family circle his
sons, daughters and kindred well deserve it at
our hands ; Therefore it is
Rewired, That we acknowledge devoutly the
hand of God in this dispensation.
That in the preceding act, we dis
charge a personal, social, and moral duty.
Resolved, That while, as a physician, his
practical ability and judgment secured a de
servedly high position, his courtesy and can
dour won for him the esteem and confidence
of all his associates.
Resolved, That as a man, we bear testimony
to his integrity in all hit relations to the com
munity in which he lived.
Resolved. That while we deplore his death,
ind feel lor his afflicted family the deepest
m ii'pathy, we rejoice in the hope that he is in
l"hr t rijoyir.ont of a blessed immortality.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings
Ik: presented to the family of the deceased, j
ind that they be sent to the press for pnblica- j
tiun. R. V. Wilsos, Prest.
D. O. Crouch, Secretary.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
At a special communication of Clearfield
Lodge No. 314 A. Y. M., held in Clearfield,
March 8th, 1800, Bros. R. J. Wallace, Alex'r.
McLeod and John McGaughey were appointed
a committee to drift resolutions expressive of
the feelings of the members of the Lodge up
on the death of Bro. Henry Lorain, M. D.,
who submitted the following Keport, which
was adopted :
Whebeas, the Supreme Architect of the
I'uiverse hath seen fit to call our brother work
inan.IIfcNRT Lorain, from the labors or Earth,
for ti:e first time in the history ol this Lodge
severing one of the links in our golden chain
brotherhood. Therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Lorain,
"we are called upon to mourn the extingnish
Vnent of one of the bright lights of our frater
nity, which leaves a void in our little band that
Cannot be re-fillcd.
Resolved, That while we have cause to la
ment the death of the Brother by whose side
e have been accustomed to sit in our lodge
room, we bow with submission to the will of
Him who doeth all things well," the blow be
ing softened by the remembrance of the worth
of the deceased, and his attachment to our
1 r.itfrnit V.
Reroltcd, That we reverence the memory of
the dead, and desire to mingle our tributes,
vtth the funeral oflerinss which others will
lav upon his crave. An afflicted family sob
over, and a grateful people, around whose beds
of sickness he has ministered for more than
t nncthird of a century, will be stirred with
sorrow, for Earth has never pillowed upon her
lH)som a man more devoted in his profession,
nor our fraternity ever lodged one more at
tarheil to the principles of Masonry.
That ft corv of these resolutions,
under the seal of tho Lodge, be presented to
Ihe family of the deceased Brother.

Storm. A heavy rain and wind storm pas-
Hed over this neighborhood last Friday night
The wind blew a perfect gale,and caused build
ines to shake and rock. Not much damage,
ot which we have heard, was however done
The roof was blown from the barn of Mr. Wil
liam Leonard, in Goshen township, and we are
told that in ono or two Instances buildings
were slightly moved on their foundations. It
Is really surprising, considering the violence
t K trind that so little damase was done

The Weather, for a week past, has been
warm and spring-like, with alternate showers
and sunshine. There is every prospect or an

Pracu Trees. We direct the attention of
all who wish to procure young peach trees, to
. .the advertisement of Mr. Robert Lowhea 1 in
The Limber Bisixess. Since our, last pa
per was issued the water in the . Susquehaiii a
has been at an excellent rafting stage, and our
lumbermen Jiato been making good use of it.
The bulk of t!le square timber, boards, shin
gles, &c., has psssed down the stream, and by
this titiis "the red shirts' are doubtless be
coming plenty iu Lock Haven, Middle-town,
Marietta, and other places along the river.
Our former impressions regarding the quanti
ty of lumber that will reach market were near
ly correct. Ffotu all the information "we can
gather, we are satisfied that not over two
thirds the usual quantity will b taken down.
This is owing in a grc-t measure to the com
parative scarcity of snow during the past win
ter. The tendency of this falling off iu the
supply will be to increase prices to remunera
tive rates. It is reported that a few sales
were made at Lock Haven at 7 and 8 cents for
pine timber.
"Stoved." We hear that a timber . raft,
loaded with some G0,000 ishingles, belonging
to ;ur. aamuci Lanms. ot Jiiauietown, was
"stoved," a few days since, somewhere below
Ellis Irwin's dam. The raft broke in two, and
many of the shingles went adrift and will be
lost. It is also reported that a raft belonging
to Arthur Bell, Esq., of this county, ..was
"stoved" at the "Big Pitch," another belong
ing to Jas. B. Shaw is "high and dry" below
the "Wood Rock," and it is said that several
others are in a like interesting situation, at
other places along the river.
Li Jail. Two men, calling themselves tt'il-
liams,were committed to the jail in this place
on last Friday, on a charge of assanlting and
breaking in the door of the house of Dr. A.T.
Schry ver, on Clearfield creek, the day before,
and for making threats against his life.
