GOOD MEN GONE TO REST. 
It becomes our painful duty to chronicle, this 
week, the death of three men of great moral 
worth and nobleness of character, who have 
boon prominently Identified with the cause of 
Rural Improvement. 
The non. William A. Reynolds, in many 
respects the foremost among the many good and 
prominent citizens of Rochester, departed this 
life on the evening of Jan. 12th, aged fil years. 
Deceased was a man of noble and generous na¬ 
ture, ever first In good wonts and efforts to pro¬ 
mote the welfare of his fellow citizens, the city, 
and country at large. Mr. Rev. qlds held many 
positions of trust, honor and responsibility, aud 
discharged every duty with fidelity. He was a 
mombor of the last State Constitutional Conven¬ 
tion, and at the time of his death was one of the 
Managers of the Western House of Refuge aud 
also President of the Rochester Savings Bank. 
Mr. R„ was ono of the founders or the nursery 
business in Rochester, and did much to advance 
the cause of Agricultural Improvement gene¬ 
rally. Messrs. EllwanCER A Barky of the 
celebrated Mt. Hope Nurseries (now the most ' 
extensive on this Continent i were both formerly 
in the employ of Mr. Reynolds. He was also 
among the pioneer seedsmen of Western New 
York— for wc well remember that the seed firm 
of Reynolds & Bateham was doing business in 
Reynolds' Arcade, Rochester, over thirty years 
ago. A good, noble-hearted man—a Christian 
gentleman and true friend and patriot—has gone 
to his rest aud reward. 
The Hon. William Kelly of Rhinebeck, N. 
Y., died on Sunday, Jan. 14th, at Torquay, Eng¬ 
land, whither he went some months since in 
quest of health. Mr. K. was a distinguished 
citizen of our State, widely known for his noble 
manliness and generosity, and also for his earnest 
efforts to enhance Rural Improvement. His 
fine estate—“Elleralie” on the Hudson—exhibit¬ 
ed his fine taste, for its flowers, shrubs, small 
domestic animals, and herds of splendid Short- 
Horn and other cattle wore the admiration of 
every visitor. As has been well said by a con¬ 
temporary, “ Mr. Kelly was a retired New York 
merchant of large means, large heart, and large 
head—a man of spotless integrity'and irreproach¬ 
able character.” Though n Democrat, he was 
in lfsW elected to the Stare Senate from Dutchess 
and Columbia, a Republican district, and served 
with distinction—was loved and honored for hts 
courtesy, his integrity and high sense of moral 
obligations. In 1880, Mr. Kelly was the Demo¬ 
cratic candidate for Coventor, on the presi¬ 
dential ticket with Stephen A. Douglass— but 
the division in the party made his defeat a fore¬ 
gone conclusion, though he ran largely ahead of 
his ticket. Mr. Kelly was long prominently 
connected with the N. Y. State Agricultural So¬ 
ciety, once holding the office of President, As a 
breeder of improved stock, he was widely and 
favorably known. Deceased was an earnest 
Baptist, and did much by voice, presence and 
purse to sustain the churches and educational 
institutions of the denomination. lie was elect¬ 
ed President of the Board of Trustees of the 
University of Rochester in 1859, and held that 
position at. the time of his death. Mr. Kelly 
was sixty-five years of age.

erts held many town and other offices—serving 
the public faithfully whenever his services were 
demanded- and was a member of the Legisla¬ 
ture in 1861. In all the relations of life deceased 
was greatly esteemed — Tor he was a time friend, 
vise counsellor, and strictly conscientious. His 
death was caused by a serious accident on 
Christmas day. when his arm was drawn Into n

THE FRANKLIN STATUE IN NEW YORK. 
On the annn srsary of the birth of Benjamin 
I Franklin— Wednesday, the 17th inst.,—a large 
and beautiful statue in bronze., twelve feel In 
hight, representing the eminent Printer, Phi¬ 
losopher, Diplomat and Statesman at the age of 
seventy, in full court dress, was unveiled in 
Printing House Square, New York. It was a 
present to the Press and Printers of New York 
from Oapt. Albert De Groot, who made the 
famous Vanderbilt bronzes. The ceremonies 
took place at raid-day, Prof. Samuel F, B. Morse 
unveiling the statue amid the oheers of thou¬ 
sands, the roar of cannon and strains of music. 
Horace Gref.ley (not inaptly called the later 
Franklin) made an able and characteristic 
speeoh, presenting the statue to the city. Mr. 
C. C. Savage of the Typographical Society, re¬ 
plied, accepting the statue. 
• In the evening there was a grand banquet at, 
Dklmonico's in honor of the event, and the 
anniversary, attended by Mr. Greeley, II. W. 
Beecher, Dr. Prime, Dr. Ciiajpin, Frank Les¬ 
lie, Mayor Hall, and many other prominent 
Journalists and Printers of New York. Many 
eloquent speeches were made at the least. The 
statue is much admired for its beauty, and is 
doubtless the finest one in New York. It wu.s 
modeled and cast in the city, and is, therefore, 
an American Work of Art.
