Death of Sherman Croswell, esq.

Sherman Cro->well. esq, late editor Of the
Albany Argus, died last week at New lla-
ven. aged % years. Mr.. Croswcll was the
son of the late Rev. Harry CroSwell. ID. d..
rector of Trinity Church in New Haven,
and was born in the city Of Hudson. where
his parents resided at the time. lie was Il
graduate Of Yale College of the year 1922.
The New Haven Journal says
after studying the Law. he was admitted
To the bar in this city i'll the year 1876 In
ISL, I've removed to Albany. where he was
associated with Edwin Croswcll, esd, i'll the
editorial management Of the Albany Argus
from Which he finally retired in the year
1856. lie soon after removed 10 this city
where after protractcd illness, he died Of
consumption, aged ID years.
For Il man so widely known, he was known
to few. lie made not many friends. but
these few once made. were lifelong friends
Enincntly courteous in his MANNERS to all,
he was vet a man Of reserve. His confidence
was given slowly and even reluctantly but
when given was amo>t never withdrawn.
He was Il man Of singular refinement Of
mind. and Of taste ia>tidiuusly delicate
Nature fitted him Tor IN artists life. or for
some other pursuit, success in which needs
a larS" admiXturr Of tn" aesthetic element.
But by one OF the rcrycrsitics in life, not
uncommon, he was thrown into the uncoh-
genial field of politics. \ service of nearly
n quarter Of a century, first rs an associate
and subsequently, ~ chief editor of one Of
the most influential political papers in this
country, had not been without it, influence
upon Mr. Croswcips character.
No one familiar only with the always
vigorous aud sometimes trenchant style OF
the argus" would have suspected that
many of thc most characteristic articles
came from the pen Of writer whose tenn
permanent was essentially poetic one. and
whose feelings were made more in harmony
with whatever i beautiful in nature or art.
than with the detail, OF politics. Yet such
was the fact. and only the earne,tncss and
sincerity of his political convictions could
have made such an occupation tolcrabIe 70
