A. Harris, princiial of W. F. Institute on Saturday, and the re-! mains were attended to the grave by a very large number of sympathizing friends. Dr.

remained there about a year, and then accepted a position as an editorial writer on the Indianapolis Journal, where he remained about 12 months. Hf returned to Staunton and resumed the! practice of the profession bf medicind, his inclination running more to thai line than that of law. He was recognized by his -brother physicians as an hhe, and learned member of the profession, and by the caiumunity as an intelligent and successful practi tioner. Dr. Harris' natural talents and gifts and rich fund of information made him a delightfu numbered friends and companion, and no one i larger circle of devoted admirers than he did.

His keen insight into human nature his accurate appreciation of the varied shades of human character; his lively ridiculous, and happy fac ulty of understanding the moods and conditions of men, were rare character- istics, which he. indulged occasionally, to the aiuuspment of those around hum, but always with such a discriminating judgment and line sense of propriety, as not to cause offense. He was a grace-I ful. incisive and forceful writer, and had he devoted Jiiiiiself solely to the editorial profession he would have become one Of the distinguished and noted men in the calling. He was a rare combination of humor, learning, pathos and logic, and had he cared for the plaudits of the world, could have played a prominent part either law-or literature.

He preferred the quiet of social lifej the freedom of friendship's circles, and the elbow touch of congenial companions to thf attritions and strutrarles of oublic Ijife, and the arduous duties of public gerviee. j)r Harris never married.

Harris, antl i ii ke the intimate relation held during a useful business life by him with the members of our profession makes it fitting that we record our appreciation of him; that his kind heart, generous disposition and geuial nature made him an ever-welcome visitor.

In every ifitfion of life In which it lias Ueen our lot to be cast with hbii. we have found him the same hi)h-toiied gentleman, ever ready to concede what was honorable and right, at the same time having firm convictions; of his own.

In his death the community has ilost a good citizen, in the prime or life; the poor a warm friend; and the profession onS Of Its i best and most worthy members. Tlierfore, i Renoieeti, That the sudden removal of such-a man from our profession leaves, ft'vacancy that wiU be deeply realized by all member's of the profession and its friends, and will prove a Krievous loss to this city and the public, That with deep sympathy with the affliotea gisfer, revives and friends of the de- ceased we exprew our earnest hope thatven so great- a ibereavement may be overruled for their highest good.
