 Deaf and Dumb Institution, and also of the 

 New York State Colonization Society. He was 

 one of those consistent men who cared not for 

 the empty honor of a place without being known 

 as a worker, and was always found faithful in 

 his attendance upon the various meetings of 

 committees, councils, societies, etc., with which 

 he was connected ; and his devotion to every 

 good work won the love and respect of all 

 associated with him. His last illness was a long 

 and painful one, but borne with Christian pa- 

 tience and submission.

 news, and five years later ran an express from 

 Philadelphia to New York, by relays of horses, 

 and thus were enabled to publish Congressional
