seen in court although he was counsel
lor Of some of our most influential men
in matters affecting the largest interests.
His reputation was known through New
York, New England, and some of the
western states. His example was most
useful one in all the relations of his life,
prominentas he was necessarily in society,
standard bearer and an active member
of his church, and one who zealously per-
formed every duty of the citizen. Surely
in his case we perceive the memory of
the just is blessed" Above all, the crown
of his life was the bright shining of his
Christian faith, in which he was in
structed by mother he tenderly revered,
and in which he lived; which sus tanned
him and gave him sweet peace in his pro-
tracted sickness, complete resignation TO
the will of God in the nearness to death,
and On assurance clear and all sustaining
that he should soon be with his Saviour
and with the dear ones already in Heaven.

"A careful observer, who spends few days at this
