WHEREAS it has pleased an all-wse Provi-

well beloved brother, Jno d. Allen, and as it be-
hooves US as Brothers to pay some passing
tribute Of respect to his memory:


Therefore, Be it Resolved, That the Mem.
bers of this Division feel il 10 be a duty to give
a suitable expression 10 the feelings occasioned
by the loss ofa Brother, whose kind and affec-
tonate manners and upright department had
endeared him to all hearts a youth against
whom the voice of calumny or detraction had
never been raised, one whom "none named but
to praise" and whose christian virtues gave II
hattering promise of future usefulness.


Resolved, That whilst we mourn over the
memory of Brother thus cut down like a
blooming flower in the morning of life, we are
comforted with the well-grounded hope that
he has exchanged this vesture Of dust for the
bright garment Of immortality.
Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize
with the relatives Of our deceased Brother, in
their sorrow for the sad bereavement which
they and we have sustained.


Resolved, That TO testify our attachment to
our late Brother, the Hall be shrouded in
mourning, and thata a copy Of these Resolutions
be sent to the relatives Of the deceased, and
to the Columbian Fountain for publication.
