 (See MILITARY COMMISSIONS.) 

 HAGANY, Rev. JOHN B., D. D., a Methodist 

 clergyman, born in "Wilmington, Delaware, 

 August 26, 1808, died in New York, June 28, 

 1865. He united with the Methodist Church 

 about the year 1828, and commenced the work 

 of an itinerant minister in 1831. In the follow- 

 ing year he was received into the Philadelphia 

 Annual Conference, and was stationed at Port 

 Deposit, Maryland. From 1833 to 1850 he 

 was stationed successively at Elkton, Md., 

 Easton, Md., Burlington, N. J., Kensington, 

 Pa., Potts ville and Minersville, Pa., Philadel- 

 phia, Ebenezer, Middletown, and Cantrell's 

 Bridge, Delaware, and at Trinity, Philadelphia. 

 In 1851 he was transferred to the New York 

 Conference, and stationed at Vestry St., New 

 York city, and subsequently at Mulberry St. 

 In 1856 he was at Yonkers, and in 1858 was 

 transferred to New York East Conference and 

 stationed at Sands Street, Brooklyn. In 1860 

 and '61 he was transferred to the New York 

 Conference and stationed at St. Paul's, after- 

 wards at Bedford Street, and finally at Thir- 

 tieth Street, New York, where he closed his 

 labors. In this protracted ministry of thirty- 

 three years he was signally blessed. To him 

 the ministry was not a profession, but a divine 

 vocation. His familiarity with the elder and 

 greater writers of Methodism was a constant 

 surprise to all who knew him, and his apt quo- 

 tations from "Wesley or Fletcher showed that 

 the writings of these great founders had been 

 wrought closely into the texture of his thinking. 

 His studies in the literature of the last century 

 gave character to all his ministrations, impart- 

 ing to them a finish which contributed largely 

 to his success. On the last Sunday of his life, 

 he preached to his congregation from the text, 

 " Let me die the death of the righteous, and let 

 my last end be like his." Not having finished 

 his discourse, he announced that he would con- 

 clude it the next time he preached. The fol- 



lowing Wednesday, while reading a portion of 

 a published sermon to his wife, he dropped the 

 book, and, leaning his head upon his hand, 

 expired. 



HALIBURTON, Hon. THOMAS CHANDLEB 

 (Sam Slick), a well-known English author, died 

 at Isleworth, aged 68 years. He was born at 

 Windsor, Nova Scotia ; was educated at King's 

 College, and admitted to the bar in 1820. He 

 was elected a member of, the House of Assem- 

 bly, and in 1829 was appointed Chief Justice 

 of the Court of Common Pleas. In 1840 he 

 became a judge of the Supreme Court, but two 

 years after resigned the office and went to Eng- 

 land, where the remainder of his life waa 

 passed. In 1859 he was elected Member of 

 Parliament for the borough of Launceston, 

 which he continued to represent' on Conserva- 

 tive principles until the dissolution of Parlia- 

 ment in July, 1865, when, owing to the infirm 

 state of his health, he was not a candidate for 

 reelection. He was a frequent and fluent 

 speaker, but was more widely known by hia 

 writings both in Europe and America. His 

 earliest literary undertaking was a series of 

 letters entitled "Lucubrations of Sam Slick, 

 the Clockmaker," which he contributed, in 

 1835, to a weekly newspaper of Nova Scotia, 

 exhibiting, in a tone of good-natured raillery, 

 peculiar features of the Yankee character. 

 These letters were subsequently collected in a 

 volume, and they have been several times re- 

 printed. Soon after his settlement in England 

 he produced a second series, under the title of 

 "The Attache; or, Sam Slick in England," in 

 which British society is amusingly depicted ; 

 and to this a third series was eventually added, 

 but its success was not so great as that of the 

 earlier volumes. Besides these, his best known 

 works, Judge Haliburton published " Historical 

 and Statistical Account of Nova Scotia ; " " Let- 

 ters to Lord Durham ; " " Bubbles of Canada ; " 

 " The Letter-Bag of the Great Western ; " " The 

 Old Judge ; or, Life in a Colony ; " " Rule and 

 Misrule of the English in America; " "Nature 

 and Human Nature ; " " Wise Saws ; " etc. He 

 also edited several works, including one on the 

 " Settlement of New England." In 1858 Judge 

 Haliburton received the degree of D. C. 1^ 

 from the University of Oxford.
