 In 1 became a iiK-niher of the bar in Now Ips- 



and preserved the reputation through life 



.mud and learned lawyer, faithful in the 

 discharge of protcsMonal duty, and a model of 

 diligence and integrity. Originally a warm ad- 

 mirer of lli'iiry Clay, he aeied \vith the Whigs 

 until the formation of the Liberty party, and 

 since the year 1844 took a conspicuous rank as 

 a Free-S,>iler and Republican. lie was a mem->

 years and in 1852 was the Free-Soil candidate 

 lor I nited States Senator. Upon his first elec-

'ft 10. HCGGLES, EDWARD, M. D., a phy- 

 sician and artist of high reputation, died in 



.lyn, N. Y., aged 50 years. lie was born 

 in Fall River, Mass., and began the study of 

 medicine at an early age. After the usual course 

 of instruction in this country, lie went to Paris 

 to perfect himself in his profession, and while 

 in that city pursued the study of art as a pas- 

 time, with no intention of devoting himself to 

 any other profession than that of medicine. A 



ars later he returned to the United States 

 and soon obtained a large practice as a physi- 

 cian, still amusing his leisure hours with the 

 work of an amateur at the easel. About five 

 years ago, at the earnest solicitation of his 

 friends, he consented to a public exhibition of 

 a few of his pictures, and the success which at- 

 tended this introduction of his works to the 

 lovers of art finally led him to relinquish his 

 practice and devote himself to painting cabinet 

 pieces, which became quite popular. Dr. Rug- 

 gles painted rapidly, although carefully, and his 

 industry was remarkable. Sometimes he pro- 

 duced more than a hundred small pictures in 

 the course of a single season, and all were ea- 

 gerly purchased by the public.

 Flemington, N. J., February 2), 1817. 

 near the Union Course, Long Island. He com-

 his bravery and efficiency. In politics he \\ EM 

 a Whig until that party ceased to be a power. 

 In 1844 he was the Whig candidate for Gov- 

 ernor, and was beaten by Francis R. Shunk. 

 Ho joined the Republican party just after it 

 was organized, and was an active and enthusi- 

 astic supporter of its principles. When the 

 war broke out, so deeply were his feelings 

 enlisted that it required great efforts on the 

 part of his friends to dissuade him from enter- 

 ing the service, although he was then in his 

 eighty-fifth year. During the first three 

 months of the war, when the news came that 

 the enemy were at Morgantown, Va., and were 

 coming into Pennsylvania, the old veteran 

 could not be restrained from taking a hand in 

 defence of the border. With 'a squad of men 

 and a brass six-pounder he took a platform car 

 to Uniontown, and joined the forces then as- 

 sembling to resist any approach of the enemy.

 physical vigor and endurance, and was pos- 

 sessed of a clear-headed common-sense which 

 enabled him always to wield great influence 

 among his friends and neighbors.
