of the surviving members of the Indiana
constitutional convention of 1850, on the
night CT the 10Th of October last. He took
very great interest in the meeting, and his
address OF that occasion was evidently q
very thoroughly prepared production. He
supervised its publication with great care,
and YVES taking much interest in the con-
templated publication of the lives of the
members of that convention. l had been
in conference with him with respect to
the sketch of his own life, and he had that
subject under consideration this very day,
and sent me a message relating to it. This
was probably the last line he ever wrote.
He conferred very freely with me in re-
gard to the contemplated book and sketch
OF his own life, and had ever indicated
what plate he preferred of the various
hkenesses of himself that had been pub
lished."
The death of Mr.. Hendricks leaves Mr..
English sole survivor of the delegation that
represented Indiana in Congress in 1879.

with outbursts of grief once or twice
The house was darkened and everybody
moved about with a quiet tread. In thu
large double parlors, where Mr.. Hendrick
was accustomed to see his friends, werI
many articles with which they were yer,

On a table were several panel photograph
