unexpected. he had been In feeble health
FOR some time, his once active. vigorous
brain breaking under the strain OF the
many activities Of his life and the weight
Of advancing years. The decline Of mis-
faculties became clearly marked about
two years ago.
Nathaniel Prentiss Banks was born at
W Ndlthdm, Mass, on the 9th OF January,
1910. After receiving a common school
training, ne worked IN cotton factory,

than two months followed, and ne was
elected by a small majority on the one
hundred and thirty-third ballot. the dead
lock having been broken by the adOp-
ton Of a plurality rule. The American
party Went out OF existence, but Mr..
Banks was elected 20 the Thirty fifth
Congress as a Republican. he receiving a
larger majority than ever He served un-
iii the 4th OF December. 1851, when he re-
signed from Congress 10 become Gov
ernOr OF Massachusetts,. He was re-elect-
ed Governor i'm 1858 and 1853.
