OBITUAKIES, UNITED STATES. 



1862 he was elected to represent the second 

 district of Maine in the Thirty-seventh Con- 

 gress, to complete the unexpired term of the 

 Hon. 0. W. Walton, who had resigned. 



Sept. 28. HINDMAN, General THOMAS 0., an 

 officer in the Confederate service, was assassi- 

 nated by one of his former soldiers at Helena, 

 Ark., aged 50 years. He was born in Tennes- 

 see, in 1818 ; served as a second lieutenant of 

 Mississippi Volunteers in the Mexican War, and 

 was a Democratic Eepresentative in the Thir- 

 ty-sixth Congress from the First District of 

 Arkansas. He was reflected to the Thirty- 

 seventh Congress, but when the war broke 

 out he entered the Confederate service, was 

 early made a brigadier-general, and served at 

 Bowling Green until the evacuation. After 

 the battle of Shiloh, in which he participated, 

 and from which his commission as major-gen- 

 eral dated, he was transferred to Arkansas, 

 and commanded in that State at the time of its 

 occupation by General Curtis. His military 

 administration was severely criticised for his 

 severity in enforcing conscription and in main- 

 taining discipline among his troops. After the 

 close of hostilities he went to the city of Mex- 

 ico, where he remained until the spring of 

 1867, when he returned to his home in Helena. 



Sept. 29. ANDREWS, Eev. LORRIN, a mis- 

 sionary, teacher, judge, and author, died at 

 Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, aged 73 years. 

 He was born in East Windsor, now Yernon, 

 Conn., April 29, 1795; educated at Jefferson 

 College, Pa., and Princeton Theological Semi- 

 nary ; sailed for the Hawaiian Isla'nds in No- 

 vember, 1827, and preached at Lahaina. In 1831 

 established Lahainaluna Seminary, which sub- 

 sequently became the Hawaii University, in 

 which he was a professor for ten years. He 

 translated a part of the Bible into Hawaii; 

 resigning his connection with the American 

 Board, in 1840, from antislavery scruples, he 

 was for some time seamen's chaplain at La- 

 haina. In 1845 he was appointed judge under 

 the Hawaiian Government, and was also Secre- 

 tary of the Privy Council. These offices he 

 held for ten years. Since 1855 he had pre- 

 pared a large Hawaiian dictionary and several 

 works on the literature and antiquities of the 

 Hawaiians. 



Sept. 30. GTJRLEY, Rev. PHINEAS D., D. D., 

 an eminent Presbyterian clergyman, Chaplain 

 of the United States Senate, died in Washing- 

 ton, D. 0. He was born in Hamilton, Madison 

 County, N. Y., November 12, 1816, and grad- 

 uated at Union College in 1837, and at the The- 

 ological Seminary at Princeton, N. J., in 1840. 

 He was immediately settled as the pastor of 

 a Presbyterian church at Indianapolis, where 

 he remained for nine years, and subsequently 

 removed to the First Presbyterian Church at 

 Dayton, Ohio. In 1853 he was called to Wash- 

 ington, D. 0., and became pastor of F Street 

 Presbyterian Church in that city. In a few 

 years a union was effected with another con- 

 gregation, and a new and handsome edifice 



on New York Avenue was erected for the 

 joint bodies. At this church Mr. Lincoln 

 attended, and Doctor Gurley, as his pastor, 

 preached the sermon on the occasion of the 

 funeral solemnities of the lamented President. 

 He was a man of fervent piety, and his man- 

 ner of presenting the truths of the gospel was 

 peculiarly attractive. 



Sept. . CHUN-LOCK, better known as CHT- 

 LUNG, a noted Chinese merchant in San Fran- 

 cisco, died recently in that city. He went to 

 San Francisco in 1850, and immediately began 

 business as a merchant, importing teas, opium, 

 silk, and lacquered goods, Chinese groceries, 

 etc., extensively, and soon built up a large 

 wholesale and retail trade, which extended over 

 a large part of California and the Pacific coast. 

 During our civil war he gave liberally toward 

 the Sanitary Relief Fund. When the great Sa- 

 cramento flood of 1861-'62 brought desolation 

 and distress to so many American households, 

 his liberality was manifested toward our people 

 and his own alike. The firm had a house in 

 Shanghai, one at Canton, another at Hong- 

 Kong, and recently one in Yokohama, in addi- 

 tion to that in San Francisco. A few days 

 before his death he expressed his determina- 

 tion to visit New York and Chicago on the 

 completion of the Pacific Railroad, with a view 

 to establishing stores in those places. 



Sept. . GAGE, GEORGE, a prominent law- 

 yer of New Jersey, died at Dover, N. J., aged

 lican side. 



Oct. 1. GERARD, WILLIAM, an old and emi- 

 nent merchant of New York, died in that city 

 aged about 80 years. He was born in Broad 

 Street, and commenced his career as a clerk in 

 the shipping-house of Mintum & Champlin, 

 where he early evinced such a decided business 

 capacity that at the age of eighteen he was 

 sent by the house to the East Indies, as. super- 

 cargo. Subsequently, he was in the employ of 

 Ebenezer Irving & Sons, where Washington Ir- 

 ving was a fellow-clerk. He engaged in busi- 

 ness as junior partner in the firm of A. S. 

 Glass & Gerard, which finally became Gerard, 

 Betts & Co. In 1866 Mr. Gerard retired after 

 a business career of sixty years, throughout 

 which he was noted for his strict integrity, 

 correctness and probity in all his dealings, and 

 his sound judgment. 



Oct. 3. JAMIESON, GEORGE W., an actor of 

 considerable ability, was killed by a railroad 

 train, aged 58 years. He was a native of New 

 York City, his mother being an American, and 

 his father an Irish Protestant. His education 

 was limited, but he held high rank as a Shak- 

 spearian scholar. At an early age he was ap- 

 prenticed to the trade of a lapidary, and his cam- 

 eos were models of artistic beauty. His tastes, 

 however, were for the stage, and his first pro- 

 fessional appearance was made at the old Bow- 

 ery Theatre, in 1835, in his own farce, " The
