My acquaintance with Mr. Cocroft dates
back to an early period Of my life. We were
residents of the same village and were
much together in our homes. at school and
upon the play ground. As youth he was Of
an even, gentle ANA amiable temper, and
was, as ever, greatly beloved by all who knew
him.
He exhibited in an uncommon degree the
admirable traits of character so prominent in
his after life Home was ever a dear word to
him: his gentle, loving heart, worn by toll
and care, found there a sweet refuge and rest

exhibition of flial, coniugal and parental love-
He is best known in this community as a
clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, in which capacity he has rendered
faithful and efficient service. His piety was
deep, ardent and consistent; il was not ftful
and spasmodic, manifesting itself at times in
high emotion and fiery zeal and then subsid
ing INTO great spiritual apathy and sloth, it
was steady flame which shone brighter ana
brighter and never went out; it was living
spring which never failed in time of drought;
it was fixed principle in the heart which
had a steady and commanding influence over
the whole course of his life. He was not zeal
ous in some things and Indifferent to others OF
equal or greater importance.
There WAS u beautiful symmetry in his
Christian character: in him ell the Christian
grace shone and combined TO form character
of peculiar loveliness. He was meek humble
prayerful, always abounding in the work of
the Lord. His mini was deeply imbued with

New Yorkers 0ie the hest housed folk
In the world, according TO Michael q.
Mulhall. 90 whose estimates on New Eng
land we recently referred. In the carrent
issue of the North American Roviow he
considers the middle states and this Is
one OF his conlusions: There is a greater
concentration OF WEALTH In the state OF
Now York than elsewhere, the average
per inhabltaut being 40 per cont over
that Of the Union at large This is partly
shown in the prodigious value of house
property, including buildings which
averages $50 per inhabitant i'm the state
Of New York, against ei2O for the whole
Union. The six middle states, taken
collectively, give an average of $3.50 of
house property per inhabitant. which is
double tho ratio found in Great Britain,
and hence il may bc affirmed that the
people of these states are on the whole,
the best housed community in the world
The average wealth per inhabitant has
almost quadruplcd in 40 years, mar
yelous proof of the progress Of these
states, and unparalleled in Europe; for
McCulloch lays it down that only pros
porous nations can double their wealth In
that interval The accumulation in the
middle states per, inhabitant has been
5000 per annum higher than in New
England, and exactly double the average
accumulation yearly in Great Britain
In the interval of 1SG0-lS35 Agricultural
wealth forms only Is per cent of the total
in the middle states whereas it is 25 per
cent in the whole Of tho Union"
