OBITUARY.
Death of the Hon. Samuel Hoar.

CONCORD, MASS, Nor. 2, 1856.
The Hon. Samuel Hoar, gentleman who
had long filled prominent place in the estima-
ton of the public, died at his residence in this
town this Sunday morning at six o'clock.
He had just completed his 18th year, and ss
an active man, belonged to the last age rather
than to the present, being the contemporary of
men most of whom had long since either retir-
ed to private life or left altogether the affairs
of this world. He was one of the first lawyers
of the Massachusetts, bar, at a period when its
fame stood high, but relinquished the practice
of the legal profession many years since. he
was at one time a Judge of our Court of Com
mon Pleas, believe, and served in the 34th
Congress (lS35-'37) from the old Middlesex
district, of revolutionary fame. He was more
than once elected to the State Legislature,
serving in both branches, being member of
the House of Representatives 60 late as the
wear 1850. In 1874 he was appointed Masss-
ohusetts Commissioner to the State of South
Carolina, to see if some legal decision could
not be had respecting the practice of that high
and mighty sovereign State, of imprisoning our
colored seamen but the valiant chivalry were
80 frightened at the mere thought of being
requested to modify an oppressive law, that
they compelled him to leave Charleston by
threats of lynch law. Mr.. Hoar was member
of the Constitutional Convention of 1920, of
which Webster, Story, Lincoln, Parker, and,
Others Of our principal men, were also members !
and he maintained high reputation, even,
alongside of those great leaders OF opinion
he was what is commonly called "a gentle
man of the old school," and his manners were
remarkably bland and courteous, contrasting
strono,v with the brusquerie that is common
with Our pres;.nt public men. he retained his
Intellectual powers to the last, and, from his
temperate habits and fondness for exercise,
was little troubled with i'll health. His form
was as upright at seventy eight as that of moa
men of half that number of years. His final
illness was Inflammation of the bowels.

KANsAs.-Gov. Geary had, at the last ac-

recent disturbances near Ossawatomie. He
was invited there by the Free State men, to pro.

the responsibility of making these arrests him
self, by having the United States Marshal with
