 at Dartmouth College in 1847, studied law in 

 Concord, N. H., and was admitted to the bar 

 of Merrimack County in 1851. His talents soon 

 secured him a large practice, and for several

 taking at once a high rank among the jurists 

 of New England.

 a prominent publishing-house, and for nearly 

 half a century he was identified with the trade 

 in Philadelphia. He was a conscientious mem- 

 ber of the Society of Friends, and carried his 

 principles into every-day life, so that at the 

 close of a long business career he could say 

 that he was not conscious of ever having pub- 

 lished any thing calculated to injure the morals 

 or shake the Christian principles of any fellow- 

 creature.

 side of Mrs. Gaines. 



Sept. . DUDLEY, ELBRIDGE GERRY, for- 

 merly a philanthropist of Boston, Mass., died 

 in Beaufort, S. C. He was a native of New 

 Hampshire, graduated at Dartmouth College, 

 and entered upon the profession of law. Dur- 

 ing a long residence in Boston he was known 

 as a large-hearted and public-spirited man. 

 Reverses in speculations, however, induced him 

 to seek another field, and soon after the out- 

 break of the war he purchased from the 

 Government a plantatien in South Carolina, 

 upon which he settled and continued to reside 

 until his death.

 He commanded the gunboat Sagamore in the 

 Gulf Squadron, during the late war, and subse- 

 quently the Penobscot. At the time of his 

 death he was unemployed. 



Sept. . WIESNER, Dr. ADOLPH, a Ger- 

 man Liberal author, died in New York City. 

 He was born at Prague about 1815, and first 

 attracted attention by a work against the Rus- 

 sian Zengoborski. He took a prominent part 

 in the great movement of 1848, and represented 

 the city of Vienna in the German Parliament 

 of Frankfort. He was a member of the ex- 

 treme Left, went with his party to Stuttgardt, 

 and when the rump of the German Parliament 

 was dispersed, emigrated first to Switzerland, and 

 from there to the United States. In this coun- 

 try he was very active as a German Republican 

 speaker during the elections, and rendered, in 

 particular, great service to his party in Mary- 

 land, of which he was for several years a resi-

 clergyman, died of yellow fever in New Or-

 consistent and able champion for human rights. 

 After the capture of New Orleans by the 

 Union forces, Dr. Smith went there and took 

 up his abode, having been chosen pastor of one 

 of the Baptist churches of that city. He strong- 

 ly urged upon the citizens the importance of 

 giving equal school privileges to all children 

 without distinction of race or color. His ser- 

 mons displayed a depth of pure and earnest 

 thought, and were touchingly impressive.
