The State has lost a most efficient
and faithful oflicer iu the death of
Maj. W. H. Jiagley. Clerk of the Su
preine Court, who died at his resi
deuce in the city of Raleigh, on last
Sunday, in th fifty-third year of his
agp. His etlieiency as an officer is
best attested by hia repeated re-elec-
tions. having served continuously for
-
seventeen years. It is somewhat re-
uiarkable, and well iMustrates the
conservatism of our supreme court,
that, with the exception of a tempo-
rary appointment in 18;8. there have
. . cuuc
been only two clerks of that court in
a period of over half a century. Mr.
E. JJ. Freeman was elected clerk in
is;i.-, and served continuously until
1-. i..i. iceu i k i .
h,s death ,n 1868. and Maj. Bagley
was elected m January, 1S6'..

the relations of life, Maj. Bagley did
