His degrees of d. ID. was received, both
from the University of Vermont and Mid

also dd eundem from Trinity College two
years later. In August, 1860, his wife

The leading quality in the character of
DR.. Hicks was a conscientious fidelity.
He held firmly and clearly the distinctive
principles of the Church to which he had
pledged his allegiance, and every duty
involved in that obligation was discharged
with the most punctilious and salf-sacri-
ficing care. 1t was owing to this-which
is the quintessence of the pastoral Office
that he retained for SO many years his
charge over the growing parish at Rut-
land, and hence, too, the latest strength
of his old age was given to mission
airy labor which found him ever ready,
ever patient, ever constant, in season and
out of season.
scholarship accurate and thorough; and
he was every ready with unpretending
courtesy to place his intellectual stores at
the service of Others. He was not only
gentleman of the old school, but was
business man also, Astounding in cool,
quiet and practical common sense and
his services on committee and in the man
agement OF church funds were, therefore,
all the more important. Even in the de.
lirium Of his last sickness, his mind con-
stantly wandered among these, the dear
est responsibilities of his daily life, thus
proving how wholly they absorbed his
best affections. As friend he never
affected a degree of feeling which he did
not experience, and he preferred to seem
less cordial than he was rather than run
the least risk of awakening false expecta-
tons or unreal impressions. Modesty and
truthfulness pervaded all his ways and
all his work. Not naturally Of san
guine or hopeful temperament, the main
spring of his life was found in silent and
tenacious devotion to duty. 1t is no won
der that the transformations beauty of
life like his, should have gained friends
whose number steadily increased, and
whose regard ripened with each passing
year, resting IKE benediction upon the
silvery head which is now laid to rest in |
its long sleep.

JAPAN CLovER.-We have been told that this clo-
YER or something very nearly resembling it. has made
its appearance in parish. There is scarcely any
thing that would more largely add to material
prosperity than the introduction of clover grasses
which could withstand the hot summers and protraced
droughts of this latitude Thousands upon thousands
of acres have been suffered waste because Of
want of labor to cultivate them, and but eye
sores to the owners. Imagine what a change if all
these acres were carpeted with uxurant and nutritious
grasses. Could such thing come to pass, there
would be no more dependence upon Missouri or Ken
lucky for mules and horses upon Goshen for but
ter.
1t is said that the Japan clover is in few places
west of the Blue Ridge mountains, but seems to be
crossing the whole country southeast of it, 1t does
not inefere with fields in active cultivation nor even
penetrate much into oak forests but seiZes with avdiy

last named plant, slaughterng it without mercy. 1t

doned portions of roads, and will probably cover the
entertainments of railroads, to render turng them

this mysterious visitant. Who can say but in the
providence of Cod this little plant may accomplish
