A Good Man Gone to His est.-We
never had the pleasure Of the acquaintance Of
the subject of the following obituary notice, and
therefore shall not attempt to do honor to the
memory OF one held in snch high esteem by
his fellow-citizens for bis ability and honest
cnreer lest failure might attend effort.
This brief sketch Of his useful lie s tnken
from the Baltimore Amsricaa, between the
editor Of which and the deceased close in
timacy existed
Benjamin Hallowell died at his residence
in Montgomery county Friday morning Al
though he attained The ripe age Of 49, he was
in the enjoyment Of reasonably good health
A letter written by member of his family on
Thursday made no mention Of his Illness and
we infer from this that his death was sudden
and unexpected. Mr. Hallowe was a dis
tinguished mathematician and a most success
fIl teacher For nearly half a ceutury he wat
looked upon as a sage BY his pupils and neigh
bors, and surely few men have lived in our
0ny whose counsel and instruction were more
worthy Of being followed. He was philan-
thropst, but he escaped the weaknesses tha
are often associated with charitable disposi-
ton lie was as much distinguished for hil
strong practical common sense as for his be
neyoence. For many years he had lived II
comparative retirement, buI he took the live
lest interest in passing events, and whenever
any question of commanding Importance wal
under discussion he was pretty certain to giv'
the public his views through the columns o
The American He was just man, abound
ing in good works, and dving has left th'
record of pure, noble and useful life.
