DEATH of THOM, the SCULPTOR.
From an American paper (the Newark Advertiser),
we extract the following notice of the death c't,
the self-taught Ayrshire sculptor, who attractea,
some notice in his own country about twenty Yeti%
ago :—We notice with regret the death of Jamey
.Thom, the sculptor, who expired at his 10dg1,,,11g
in New York, on Wednesday of this week. 2`ll.
Thom came to this country from Scotland sound
twelve or fifteen years ago, in pursuit
who had hPen previously sent over by the pr priet.or
to exhibit his Tam O'Shenter and Old Mortalq:
but who, we believe, made no returns or repoll
York, lief
of his proceedings. Arriving in New
traced hint, the delinquent—a fellow Scotchmsn,
r°B
some shrewdness and address—to this city, andiehe
recovered, if we rightly remember, a portion 0' he
money for which it appeared these admirable
.wor,
of a p.ersos
had been sold, and transmitted it to the proprietort
ho had been his benefactors, concluding to remainhere himself to pursue his profession. In exPl°rihnis
the country in this vicinity for stone adapted to
g_
purposes, he brought into notice the .fine frootrs:
quarry at Little Falls, which has since become s° ,t)
mous, having furnished the stone for the Court ociliv
in this city, Trinity Church in New York, And man'
other public buildings in various parts of the countrfi:
With this stone he reproduced the two groins ss
ready named, executed an imposing statue of Blirfor
and fulfilled various orders for ornamental pieces
pleasure grounds. The copy of the Old Diortslbtg
group—including the pious old Presbyterian tuelrtat
Pony,. with the familiar presence of the jinni° ni.
genius which made them the property of the 0.„
versal mind—was sold, at a fair price, to the pror'd
tors of Laurel Hill Cemetery, near rbiladelphika:ol
is now the appropriate frontispiece of that sPeci-ter
city of the dead. Tam O'Sbanter and s`)tivof
Johnny "keep watch and ward" at the entrap
Colt,
the hospitable mansion of our friend Roswell L. `l-131
Esq., at Paterson. It is upon these incomPlial„,t
works that the fame of the Ayrshire sculptor best'
chiefly rest. They are, beyond a doubt, the bbee,
illustrations. of his peculiar genius ; and set.wea,
lieve he himself considered them - though, Jill ;be
other men of his class, he was alwaysi antieiPat'rhtta,
time and opportunity when he would surpass -TPbe
That " more convenient season" never came* to
Tam O'Shanter first raised him into notice, from „
condition of an obscure stone-cutter, without °tete;
dents, education, or the slightest knowledge 0f,40
" schools"—conciliated the admiration of his -my
countrymen, and secured for him fame and eraPofis
nnent in the world of London. In that metr°,P;r
he received numerous orders for busts, which," Fe
we believe, creditably executed in the favourite Thom
grey stone, with which he had been faniliar.
.had a strong predilection for architecture, end, fli.n,";t,
leg that he could excel in that department 01 sot
gave considerable attention to it, but we are a
aware that he produced anything remarkable, uheJa- it
a few designs that were never executed. W"ehe
-
wa s concluded to build Trinity Church with to,
Little Falls stone, Thom made an advantage°°,of
tract to do the stone cutting, and executed Inu'hder,
the fine carving for that costly architectural bill°. ect
Owing to some misunderstandin with the arcbitit
or the committee, he left the work, however, bef°rero•
was completed, and, having realised considerable ro
fits, purchased a farm near Ramapo, in Itc'el'!64ol
county, on the line of the Erie Railroad, and gratl;,o
his fancy by putting up a house after one of his °iv
conceptions. Since that time we have had no llnGed
ledge of his pursuits, but believe that he aband°.ntit
a profession in which, with due cultivation, be 11311'
have attained the highest rank.
