A "PenrI of Grent Price"

AS no calamity is greater than the
loss of eyesight, so any invention
which repairs the loss is literally a
pearl of great price. The celebrated
"Diamond Spectacles," manufactured

a blessing to many thousands who
have, by their use, had failing sight re-
stored, or so arrested as to give COM
paratively little Inconvenience. For

The Late Hon. Samuel r. Hcrsav.
From the st. Paul Pioneer.l

The telegraph yesterday brought the
sad intelligence Of the death Of Hon.
Samuel F. Hersey, member of Congress
from the Bangor, Maine district. Gen.
Hersey had been in feeble health for some
time past, but the news of his death was
none the less sudden to his many friends
in this State, where he has almost been
considered in the light of resident.
General Hersey came to this State as
early as 1853, in which year he laid the
foundation of the firm OF Jersey, Staples
& Hall, and invested largely in pine lands
in the St. Croix valley. The same year the
firm built large saw mill at Saltwater.
Since that time General Herscy has been
in the habit of visiting the State twice a
year to look after his investments. The
original investment Of the firm in mill,
pine lands and merchandise was $3.50, 900,
from which amount it has grown
to a valuation of $4,000, 900.
if not more. General Hersey always
took deep interest in Saltwater
and the St. Croix valley, and has made
many liberal donations to charitable edu.
cdtional and religious objects. His per.
sonal property iii the st. Croix valley
will figure up valuation of 81, ,OO0, 900 If
not more. He has also large investments
on the Chippewa river. He was ono of
the projectors. director and large stock.
holder Of the St. Paul & Sioux City and
Sioux City & St. Paul roads, and also q
large stockholder and director of the St..
Paul, Saltwater & Taylor's Falls road. He
was Vice President and heavy stock.
holder in the Lumberm1n's National
Bank Of Saltwater. Beside his western
investments, he was large owner of
landed property in Pennsylvania, Maine,
Michigan and the Canadas. lie also owns
property in Lake City in this State, Du.
buque, Keithsburg, Ill.,, Muscatine, Iowa,
and Hannibal, Mo. He leaves an estate
in the aggregate valued at between
$4,000, 900 and $3,000,000. He leaves q
wife and four sons. Two of his sons, Col.
Roscoe Hersey and W. H. Hersey, whe
are both married, have been and are now
residents Of Saltwater. One of his sons
is in business in Boston, and another is at
home in Bangor, Maine.
General Hersey has all his life been en-.
gagged in the numbering business. He was
eminently self-made man, and amassed
l his great wealth himself, starting in life 4
poor boy. He was akind-hearted, gener.
Gus, liberal spirited, enterprising man,
and one whose loss will be felt as keenly
in the:St Croix valley as in his distant
native city Of Bangor.
General Hersey has held number OF
public Offices in his native State. and was
: member Of the 43d and also member
elect Of the 44th Congress.
