From The Baltimore Chronicle, April %.

General SAMUEL SMITH-a Revolution.
airy officer--a veteran statesman--an &C.
complshed merchant--a public spirited
citlzen--a man whose name is interviewer
with the history Of our city, our State, and
the United Sa,es--died at his residence in
Baltimore yesterday afternoon, in he 87th
year Of his age. He was, we believe. a
native of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.
but had resided 10 years in Baltimore
Leaving TO those who have more init.
mate acquaintance with his personal hiso.
~ than we have enjoyed, the execution of
the task of writing his memoirs, it is suffi'
Gent for us to say, that he was, in bis day
and generation. patriot, in the widest
meaning of that word. IN The war of the
Revolution he fought for the liberty Of his
Mud Fort, immorlalized his name as brave
and sklIful soldier. In peace he was ever
the object of the confidence and regard Of
his fellow countrymen.
We have heard that Gen. SMITH leaves
behind him q mass Of papers which are
calculated to shed much light upon the
political incidents in which he bore so dis
linguished part. We trust that they
will be arranged by competent band, and
that along with them will be published a
memoir of his eventful and useful life. He
was, we believe, the last ofthe field. Officers
Of the Revolutionary Army.
Although Gen. SMITH had reached a
very great age. his death was sudden and
unexpected. He had been riding in his
carriage after dinner, and, upon returning
to his house, laid himself down upon sofa
to repose. The servant in attendance left
him for few minutes, and on returning
found him dead.
Of no disemper, of no blast he died,
But fell like autumn fruit that meoWs long.

DEATH OF ZERAH COLBURN.

am surprised to learn that no notice
has been forwarded to our papers, and
through them to the public, of the death OF
Mr.. Colburn, so extensively known in
childhood and youth as the "WondeUul
Mathematician" aud since as talented
and interesting preacher. AS personal
friend of the deceased, feel It my duty 10
furnish this brief and imperfect sketch for
publication, hoping some one better quail.
fed will soon give more extended notice.
Zerah Colburn was native Of Cabot, in
this state, born April LIST, 1904. His sin.
guAr gift began to attract public attention
when he was in his sixth year. at which
time he was taken to DanvIle, Montpelier
and Burlington. where large numbers had
an opportunity TO witness the readiness and
correctness with which perfect y unedu.
Gated child could give answers to questions
that required the long and careful attention
of a well instructed mathematician. At.
tended by his father, he afterwards travel
lad extensively through this country and
Europe. Mr. C.. has published a very in
leresting memoir, in which he relates, in
