Resolved,  That  by  this  sad  event  we  mourn  the  loss  of  one  to  whom  we  were 
endeared  by  ties  of  personal  friendship  ;  a  leader  to  whom  we  looked  as  au- 
thority for  guidance;  a  journalist  whom  we  delighted  to  honor  as  honest,  in- 
telligent and  fearless,  and  an  instructor  who  was  thorough,  reliable  and  patient  ; 
as  a  pharmacist  living  in  the  enjoyment  of  the  perfect  confidence  of  all  who 
knew  him,  and  perfectly  reliable  in  every  respect. 
Resolved,  That  while  filled  with  grief  and  sorrow  at  this  earthly  separation, 
"we  acknowledge  and  humbly  bow  to  the  Divine  Will,  which  guides  us  in  our 
efforts  to  do  right  in  this  world,  and  removes  us  from  it  at  the  best  possible 
moment. 
Resolved,  That  we  tender  our  most  earnest  sympathy  to  the  family  of  the 
deceased,  the  wife  and  children  whom  he  so  tenderly  loved  and  cared  for  ;  and 
while  we  feel  keenly  the  poverty  of  human  consolation,  we  invoke  for  them  a 
Savior's  blessing  and  a  Savior's  care.

\  New  Hampshire  Pharmaceutical  Association. — A  meeting  of  about  fifty 
pharmacists  of  New  Hampshire  was  held,  in  Concord,  January  22d,  and  orga- 
nized by  electing  Charles  A.  Tufts,  of  Dover,  President ;  C.  F.  P.  Hildreth, 
of  Suncook,  Vice-President;  G.  F.  Underhill,  of  Concord,  Secretary,  and  H. 
B.  Foster,  of  Concord,  Treasurer.  An  Executive  Committee  of  ten  was  also 
chosen.  The  gathering  was  considered  a  preliminary  one,  which  will  open  the 
way  for  an  early  formation  of  a  State  pharmaceutical  association.  They  want 
a  law  that  will  regulate  the  sale  of  medicines  and  allow  druggists  to  sell  spirits 
for  medicinal  purposes;  they  strongly  oppose  that  feature  of  the  New  Hamp- 
shire Prohibitory  law  that  gives  one-half  of  the  fines  to  the  informer. 
New  York  College  of  Pharmacy. — At  the  conversational  meeting  of  Feb. 
12th,  Dr.  Fr.  Hoffmann  delivered  a  lecture  on  the  application  of  the  microscope 
in  pharmacy  and  the  drug  trade,  and  illustrated  his  remarks  by  exhibiting  the 
sections  of  many  drugs  by  the  aid  of  an  oxy-hydrogen  stereopticon. 
The  decease  of  Prof.  Procter  having  been  announced,  a  Committee  was  ap- 
pointed to  represent  the  College  at  the  funeral. 
The  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association  held  a  meeting  at  Jersey 
City  Feb.  11th,  which  was  well  attended.    We  have  not  received  an  account 
•of  its  transactions,  but  we  are  pleased  to  inform  our  readers  that  this  Associ- 
ation has  at  last  been  successful  in  obtaining  a  pharmaceutical  law.  The  "  New- 
ark Daily  Advertiser,"  of  Feb.  19th,  announces  this  success  in  the  following 
complimentary  remarks: 
After  five  years  of  hard  work  and  steady  perseverance  the  druggists  of  New 
•Jersey  have  obtained  the  passage  of  their  Pharmaceutical  bill.  Regularly 
every  year  a  number  of  druggists  have  visited  Trenton,  urging  its  passa_e,  but 
without  success,  and  each  year  their  number  has  become  le.^s  aud  less,  as  con- 
tinued defeats  disheartened  them.  At  the  opening  of  this  session  a  few  drug- 
gists appeared,  but  again  left,  until  Mr.  C.  H.  Dalrymple,  of  Morristown,  alone 
remained,  aud  he  urged  the  bill  vigorously.  By  dint  of  carefully  explaining  it 
to  the  members  individually  he  secured  its  careful  consideration  and  passage. 
On  the  bill  coming  up  in  the  House,  having  already  passed  the  Senate,  Mr.
