It has been four or five years since we met with that pure and incorruptible old Roman, Judge Edward Barry, now gathered to the household above; yet so lively is our recollection of his vivacity, noble heart and great learning, that the sad news of his death creates deep and unfeigned sorrow in our breast, inclining us to mingle our tears with those of his late neighbors over the calamity which has befallen them in his removal from earth. Truly a good man has gone from their midst, leaving a void wide, deep and long. Here, where the lamented deceased was well known, and particularly among the legal fraternity, regret at his death is sincere and universal. Ouachita parish would fain condole with its sister parish in this affliction and claim a mourner's place beside the tomb of a man whose name and fame belong to the whole country. The preamble and resolutions published elsewhere, although highly eulogistic, are not too much so. Words can scarcely portray the true worth of a man so pure and of such noble traits as the subject of this brief and unworthy notice. Noble old Virginian, rest forever in peace!
