On The Death Of JAMES HoBAN, Esq. before the
United Brothers Of Temperance, 81 association


No 1.


Brother President, and Brethren of Associa-
ton No - rise to announce the death of our
fellow-citizen and brother, JAMES HoBAN Esq.
He expired at his residence in this city, last eve
ming, about o'clock, leaving behind an afflicted
family, and large circle Of warm and devoted
friends Mr. Hoban was a member of the Wash
ington Bar, and had lately received the appoint
ment of Attorney of the United States, for this
District. AS an advocate, he had attained dis


nclion at the Bar, and was just reaping the fruits
Of his labors and well-spent life, when he was
summoned hence forever. M -


Within few years past, his mind became
considerably exercised upon the subject of intern
perance, and in contemplation of the evils il had
produced, he resolved to raise his potent voice in
behalf of that noble enterprise. Never had that
cause more faithful, more efficient, or more
eloquent friend. The father of our deceased
brother, was an honest emlgrant from Ireland
and one Of the most venerable inhabitants of this
city, and never was son more attached to the land
Of his sires; all her great names, he honored and
cherished their example stimulated him in his
career of honor and fame. He seemed to adopt
them as model; it was no wonder then, with
this strong and early prediction for Ireland, and
her great men, that he should have participated
in sentiments, so heartily, in all those popular
struggles, which have so often, and so long agi-
tated that oppressed land, that he should have
loved to plead her cause, and direct his burning
eloquence against the grasping power Of England
But friends and brothers he is gone, no more
shall we hear his thrilling tones within these
walls. We closed his eyes, in the place where
they first saw the light, in the midst of his
friends, and in the warm embrace Of his family
He has fallen to rest, like a laboring man, ia
tigued with the toll Of the day possessed Of
delicate frame, untitled for the sedentary labors
Of the bar, and the fatigue of incessant forensic
discussions, his physical energies gave way and
like noble vessel sinking under its full blown
canvas and ponderous freight, 50 sank our friend
to rest beneath the wave Of death. He was my
intimate personal friend through life. We were
school-mates and classmates, commencing, con-
tinuing our studies together at the same senina-
ry Of learning, and in all the stages, and through
all the vicissitudes of life, ever found him the
same confiding, amiable and honorable friend -
Honor TO his name, and unfading be the memory
ofhis virtues Aud may he who holds in his hands,
the issues Of life and death, enter the house
made desolate by his inscrutable providence, and
bind up the broken hearted, protect the atherless
and cause them all to feel, that ii is none other
than the Lord who chasteneth.
