Bishop Of the Diocese Of Vermont, and
Presiding Bishop of the Protestant

Thursday afternoon at the age ef rs

in this county, preaching in St. Luke's
Church in st. Adams on that day
in the forenoon and afternoon, with
his usual vigor and earnestness. AT
ter a week of labor and exposure, he
visited Plattsburgh, n Y. at the re-
quest OF Bishop Potter, OF New York,
and administered confirmation, and
Monday started for home. The Free
Press says:
He got back late Monday night, and
leaving heated car at Winooski, was
brought to town and thence to his
home by sleigh, becoming much chill
ed during the ride Symptoms of Sc
we're cold showed themselves on Tues
day, increasing and joined with con-
gestion of the lungs, which became
alarming on Wednesday, and for
which the best medical skill availat lie
could bring no relief. He himself ex-
pressed the conviction that he should
not recover. On Thursday morning
he remarked that his work on earth
was done" and though able to say lit
tie, from tue oppression on his lungs,
repeatedly expressed his perfect res
ignation and peace. On Thursday
afternoon at four O'Clock. he passed
suddenly and quietly away, sitting in
his chair, supported by the arms of
his son Theodore.
Bishop Hopkins was born in Dublin.
