[blocks in formation]

Oct. 25. In Exeter, N. H., Benjamin Abbot, LL. D., aged 87, from 1788 to 1838 Principal of Phillips Exeter Academy.

For half a century, Dr. Abbot stood at the head of his profession in New England. The government of his school was easy and firm, and resulted from a native authority, an equal and happy temper, perfect dignity of manners, and a ready perception of character, which secured obedience and affection. Many of our eminent men were his pupils, and on his retirement in 1838, they united in a most honorable testimonial to his merits. The last eleven years of his life were passed in dignified seclusion, and were ended with Christian tranquillity.

Nov. 6. In New York, Jacob Acker, formerly sheriff of that city, aged 56. Nov.-In Pittsburg, Pa., Rev. John Black, D. D., aged 82, the oldest minister of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and one of the earliest settlers of the city of Pittsburg.

Nov. 28. In Cincinnati, Col. Thomas H. Blake, aged 57. He was a native of Calvert County, Md., and while young removed to Washington. Upon the formation of the State government of Indiana, he settled at Terre Haute. He was for many years a member of the Legislature of Indiana, a judge of her courts, District Attorney, and from 1827 to 1829 was a member of Congress from that State. Under President Tyler, he was Commissioner of the General Land-Office, and at his death he had recently returned from England, where, as the financial agent of his State and one of the trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal, he had made satisfactory arrangements with the public creditors.

July 6. In Lexington, Ky., Sauveur F. Bonfils, aged 54, Professor of Modern Languages and Literature in Transylvania University, Ky., and for many years Professor in the same department in the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. He was a native of France, but, for political reasons, early came to this country. He was for the last thirty years of his life constantly and successfully devoted to the education of the youth of his adopted country.

Sept. 8.In Utica, N. Y., Dr. Amariah Brigham, aged 51, a distinguished physician and philanthropist, formerly principal of the Retreat at Hartford, Ct., and since 1842 Superintendent of the State Asylum for the Insane at Utica. Sept. 5. - In Granger County, Tenn., Col. Samuel Bunch, aged 63. Col. Bunch commanded a regiment in the Indian war under Gen. Andrew Jackson, and in the charge of the battle of the Horse Shoe was the first or second man

over the breastworks of the enemy. He was a Representative in Congress from Tennessee, from 1833 to 1837.

Sept. 14. In New Orleans, La., Judge E. A. Canon, of the Second Judicial District of Louisiana. He was a native of France, and emigrated to this country in 1815.

Dec. 18.-In Jackson County, Fa., Hon. Samuel W. Carmack, aged 47. Judge Carmack was born in Davidson County, Tenn., on the 9th of January, 1802. He studied law under Judge Overton, and commenced the practice of his profession in Fayetteville in 1824. In 1837 he visited Nashville, where he was stricken down by a disease which so prostrated his system as to render a removal to the milder climate of Florida necessary. In 1838 he removed to Florida, and continued there the practice of law. In 1842, he was appointed Territorial Judge of the Apalachicola District of Florida, which appointment he held until the organization of the State government. In 1846, he was elected Judge of the Southern Judicial District of Florida, which office he declined. Few persons have ever had the good fortune to reach a higher or more enviable place in the estimation of their fellow-men. He was a man of simple and natural manners, of the kindest charities and warmest feelings, blended with great firmness of purpose and uncompromising integrity. His capacity was of high order. He possessed great quickness and subtlety of mind, playful fancy, a keen sense of the ludicrous, a quaint, sly humor, and caustic wit. These were kept in strict subordination to his judgment, fearful that their exercise might give pain to the feelings of others. As a lawyer, he was worthy of imitation. In consultation he was candid, never misleading his client into fruitless and expensive litigation for the sake of personal profit. To the bar he was uniformly courteous, to the court respectful, and to the younger members of the profession he was a friend and willing counsellor. As a judge, he was humane, but firm and inflexible, clear of apprehension, of sufficient quickness, though not hasty, perspicuous in his opinions and instructions, to which it may be added, that he had a perfect command of himself, never manifesting impatience, or betraying spleen or ill nature to any who had business in his court.

Oct. 11. In Clinton, N. Y., Professor Catlin, of Hamilton College, for many years at the head of the mathematical department of that institution.

Nov. 1. In Kalamazoo, Mich., Hon. Jeffery Chipman, aged 60. He was a native of Rutland, Vt., but for many years was a resident of Canandaigua, N. Y. He was the magistrate before whom Morgan was arraigned on a charge of larceny and committed to Ontario jail, from which he was taken and carried off. This was the first act in the tragedy that ultimately produced so much agitation and excitement. In all the "Morgan trials," J. Chipman was the first witness

called.

Oct. 28. In Macon, Ga., Gen. Duncan L. Clinch, formerly in the United States Army, and from 1843 to 1845 a Representative in Congress from Georgia; a brave soldier and noble-hearted man.

Dec. 14. In Georgetown, D. C., Col. John Cox, aged 74. In the war of 1812, he was inspector of the military of the District, and took an active part in the disastrous battle of Bladensburg. He was Mayor of Georgetown for more than twenty years in succession, and was a man of great liberality and benevolence. Sept. 11.-In Milwaukee, Wisc., of cholera, Hon. John D. Cummins, a Representative from Ohio in the 30th Congress.

Oct. 28. In Geneva, N. Y., Maj. David B. Douglass, LL. D., aged 56, Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Geneva College. Immediately after his graduation at Yale College in 1813, he received the commission of Lieutenant of Engineers. In 1814, he joined the army on the Niagara frontier, under the command of Gen. Brown, with the corps of sappers and miners, and took part in the gallant action of Lundy's Lane. At the siege of Fort Erie, he superintended, as Lieutenant of Engineers, the repairs of the works under the very guns of the enemy. On the night of the assault, he commanded a battery which was assailed by the 103d British regiment, which was most gallantly repulsed after repeated attempts to storm the works. For this exploit he received the brevet of Captain, and the commendation of his commander, Gen. Gaines, although not yet twenty-one years of age. After the war he took a principal part in the reorganization of the Military Academy at West Point, and its estab
