From The Albany Argus, Of Tuesday, Oct. 8.

respected and valuable citizens. judge
JESSE BUEL expired at Danbury, c.,
at o'clock on Sunday afternoon, in the
63d year Of his age In consonaDce with
the general sorrow, and as tribute to the
character of the first proprietor of this
journal, our columns appear in the habiu.
ments of mourning.
Having accepted invitations to deliver
anniversary addresses before the Horticul-
tural and Agricultural Societies of Norwich
and New Haven, Conn, on the 25lh and
9th ults., he left home about a fortnight
since, with that view. At Danbury, he
was seized on Sunday sen'nght with bilious
cholic, of which he was relieved in the
course OF the twenty. -four hours but bilious
fever supervened, and he sank under it after
an illness of more than a week -receiyinr,
during the lime, every attention, and unrc.
milted medical attendance, from the bands
Of strangers. 1t was not until Friday last +,
however, soon after his son had left him
on his return to Albany to request the
attendance o! his family physician, that the
disorder assumed an alarming aspect. He
was accompanied on his journey by his only
daughter, Of whom he took an affecting
and final leave, in the full possession of his
mental faculties, few moments before he
calmly brealhed his last.
Intelligence was brought yesterday morn
ing by express, announcing the expected
fatal termination Of his illness. II was n
melancholy surprise to his anxious family
on reaching the steam boat wharf in the
afternoon, on their route to his place of
illness, TO be among the first TO learn that
his remains had been brought up by the
Columbus, the day boat from New York,
which arrived before the departure of the
afternoon boat. The body had been bro't
from Danbury 10 Poughkeepsie, and thence
to this city.
For The last thirty years, Judge Buel
has occupied wide space in the political
and agricultural world. In 1918. he re.
moved 10 this city from Ulster county, and
established the Albany Argus. In the
following year, he was appointed Printer
TO the State, and discharged the duties of
that station, and Of the edi,orshlp Of the
paper, until 1921, when he retired to the
farm in the suburbs of the city, since so
widely and favorably known as the Albany
Nursery After his retirement from his
editorial labors. he represented the city
for successive years in the popular branch
ofthe legislature, and at The period Of his
death was Regent of the University. HI:
last appearance in political life, was as the
gubernatorinl candidate of the opponent:
Of the national administration in 1886.
But it is as an Agricultural. in the
great and broad sense Of the word, pracl'.
cally and scientifically, that he has bull
bis fame as public benefac,or. As such
he was known throughout this continent
and in the old word and no man has con
tributed more as writer and in practlca
life, 10 elevate, inform and improve TIT
Agriculture of his oge. Nearly six year
ago, as an auxiliary in his plan for the diff
fusion of knowledge on his subject, Judg'
B. established "The Cultlva,or," month";
publication, Of the highest value, and o
great and varied information, and whicl
has attained vast circulation thro'out ih
American continent. His labors howeve
were not confined to his monthly publica
iion, ample as were its pages. His PEI
was in constant requsltion upon near
every subjec. connected with the culliva
ton Of the soil, and his correspondence
throughout the Union, and abroad, wa
extensive. In example, not less than i
precept, he may be said to have conferre
blessings upon the times in which he live
blessings that will continue to fructify
and lipen into fruit, long Nfer his bod
shall have mingled with his favorte earth
AS neghbor and cilizen.-and in a
the relations of domestic llfe-he was will
out reproach. He was esteemed not les
for his integrity than his intelligence an
worth for the unaffected affabili'y an
simplicity of manner in his inlercours
with his fellow men. He may be said /
have lived for utility; and 10 have died

His death is public bereavement, whit
