 promise, died in Brooklyn, L. I., aged 34 years. 

 He was a native of New York, and a son of 

 A. L. Dick, whose engraving of "The Last 

 Supper " gained him an enviable position among 

 artists. The subject of this sketch manifested 

 from infancy a love for art, and at the age of 

 fourteen, while on a visit to England with his 

 father, entered as a competitor for the prizes of 

 the Manchester Academy of Design, and carried 

 off a majority of them. Among his most popu- 

 lar productions are "Cooling Off," "Leap- 

 Frog," and " At Mischief." Mr. Dick was one

 School, from which sprang the present Art 

 Association, and was also one of the founders 

 of the Academy of Design.

Jan.. 21. VANDERBERGH, FEDERAL, M.D., an 

 eminent homoeopathic physician, died at Rhine- 

 beck, N. Y. He was born in Beekman, Dutchess 

 County, N. Y., May 11, 1788; studied medicine 

 and entered upon the practice of his profession 

 with a license in 1808. In 1815 he removed 

 to Geneva, N. Y., and in 1822 changed his resi- 

 dence to the city of New York. In 1826 he 

 received the degree of M. D. from the med- 

 ical department of Yale College. In 1833 he 

 adopted the system of Hahnemann, known as 

 homoeopathy, and continued in the practice 

 thereof until his death. 



Jan. 24. LORD, Rev. NATHAN L., M. D., a 

 missionary and physician of the Madura Mis- 

 sion, A. B. C. F. M., and previously of the Cey- 

 lon Mission, died in New York City. He was 

 born in Norwich, Conn., December 8, 1821. In 

 1829 he removed with his family to Fairview, 

 Pa., and in 1837 to Ellsworth, Ohio; was 

 educated at the Western Reserve College, where 

 he graduated in 1847, and after completing a 

 theological course was employed for a time 

 as agent and financial secretary of the college. 

 Having decided to devote himself to the mis- 



sionary work, he was ordained in October, 

 1852, and sailed with his wife for Ceylon. 

 After six years of faithful labor, the failure of 

 his health compelled him to return to this 

 country, where he spent nearly four years, dur- 

 ing a portion of whiph time he performed with 

 great acceptance the duties of a district secre- 

 tary of the Board of Missions, in the southern 

 districts of the West. He also attended several 

 courses of medical lectures, receiving the de- 

 gree of M. D. at Cleveland, Ohio. In 1863 he 

 sailed with his wife and children for the Ma- 

 dura Mission, but the climate of India was un- 

 favorable to his debilitated state, and, his wife 

 also being in feeble health, he was compelled 

 again to return to the United States, reaching 

 New York in June of 1867. With a view of 

 prosecuting his medical studies he arranged his 

 plans for spending the winter in the city, but 

 the termination of his disease was sudden and 

 unexpected. 



Jan. 26. DEAN, AMOS, LL. D., an able jurist 

 and author, died in Albany, N. Y. He was 

 bom at Barnard, Vt., Feb. 16, 1803, and re- 

 ceived his collegiate education at Union Col- 

 lege, where he graduated in 1822. Having 

 made choice of the legal profession, he com- 

 menced its study under Jabez D. Hammond 

 and Judge Alfred D. Conkling, two names of 

 great eminence in the State history. On his ad- 

 mission to the bar, he formed a partnership of 

 long continuance with Mr. Azor Taber, and 

 soon attained a high reputation for his profound 

 legal attainments. In 1833 he projected the 

 Young Men's Association of Albany, of which 

 he was a lifelong friend and supporter. In 

 1834 he delivered before it an interesting course 

 of lectures, subsequently published. He pre- 

 pared numerous treatises on law subjects, all of 

 which have been recognized as standard works 

 on their respective topics. In 1851, at the or- 

 ganization of the law school, he was appointed 

 a professor, and he had also filled the chair-of 

 Medical Jurisprudence in the Albany Medical 

 School, we believe, from its organization in 

 1839. He had been engaged for some years 

 upon an extensive and elaborate work on the 

 "History of Civilization," which his death 

 leaves incomplete. 



Jan. 26. HARNET, J. H., an editor and au- 

 thor, died in Louisville, Ky. He was the author 

 of an excellent treatise on Algebra, with the 

 hardest problems ever inserted in a mathemati-

 connected with the daily press, and at the pe- 

 riod of his death was editor of the Louisville 

 Democrat.

 Mott, the Quaker preacher, died in Brooklyn, 

 L. I. He was born at Manhasset, Long Island, 

 in 1788, but when a very young man removed 

 to Philadelphia. During the religious contro-

 divided the Society of Friends, Mr. Mott took 

 an active part in support of the " Liberalists." 

 He was also a cordial sympathizer with the
