THOMAS HANCOCK. 
The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, by the death of Mr. Thomas 
Hancock, has lost one of its most valuable members. For a long time con- 
nected with it, he contributed much, by his knowledge and activity to its 
prosperity and usefulness. There were few who came in contact with him 
who did not admire him. There was a straightforward honesty in his man- 
ner which made him an agreeable companion ; and the same quality inspired 
a trust in him which was never misplaced. He always expressed a decided 
opinion on any subject which came before him without reference to persons, 
and acted as became a man. Would there were more like him in the horti- 
cultural world.
