OBITUARIES. 
Heinrich  Hermann  Hlasiwetz  was  born  at  Reichenberg,  Bohemia,  April  7th, 
1825.  After  studying  chemistry  in  Jena,  he  became  assistant  at  the  chemical  labor- 
atory at  Prague,  and  in  185 1  Professor  of  Chemistry  at  Insbruck.  Subsequently 
he  accepted  a  call  to  Vienna,  where  he  labored  in  a  like  capacity  until  the  time  of 
his  death,  which  occurred,  suddenly,  on  the  morning  of  October  8th,  by  apoplexy. 
The  deceased  was  widely  known  as  an  earnest  and  careful  investigator,  many  of  his 
researches  having  been  undertaken  in  conjunction  with  Rochleder. 
r  R.  P.  Clayton,  of  Dover,  Del.,  died,  suddenly,  last  October,  in  this  city,  where 
he  was  learning  the  apothecary  business.  He  was  a  promising  young  man,  and 
intended  to  graduate  here  next  spring.  In  respect  to  his  memory,  his  classmates 
will  wear  a  badge  of  mourning  at  the  next  commencement.
