Close of a Remarkable Life.

The venerable Peter Cooper, who

of life broad and deep enough to rear
the record that stands out coll

A sketch of his lie work IN au

years OF bis life were given to indus

with the development of the railroad
system. which lac lived to see inaugu-

in New Jersey, and finally established

poor young men and women have
