Mrs. 8 F Rogefs, of our city.
The deceased represented his
county several terms in the General
Assembly. On the death of Judge
McCoy he was. appointed to that
place by Gov. Scales and afterwards
elected to the place. AbouYtwo
years ago he resigned the Judgahip
to return to the bar. He was
practicing his profession in the city
ol Raleigh, associated with Mr.

on the evening of the 27th, when the
news came over the wires that that
eminent jarist and genial gentleman
had pissed from the stage of earthly
action in the very zenith of a life of
broad u-efulnees and increasing
power.
He responded to the call of doty

friend, Mr. Lee, whom he told before
retiring that he did not feel very

found him unconcious and in a
critical condition. All efforts : to
revive him proved unavailing and he
breathed his last soon after noon
from an attack of apoplexy.
