March 20.-DE CHARMS, RICHARD, died in Philadelphia, aged 67 years.

D., at the same time superintending the publication of the "New Jerusalem Magazine." His theological studies were continued in Baltimore with Rev. John Hargrove, and his first sermon on the "Paramount Importance of Spiritual Things," was published at that place in 1828, and was afterwards reprinted in London. After a year of pastoral labor in Bedford, Penn., he went to London and studied under Rev. Samuel Noble. On returning to this country in 1832, he became pastor of the First New Jerusalem Church in Cincinnati, and conducted a periodical called "The Precursor." He subsequently preached in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York. In his later days he devoted much attention to various mechanical contrivances and inventions of his own. He was the author of "Sermons illustrating the Doctrine of the Lord." "Series of Lectures delivered at Charleston, S. C." "The New Churchman," and "Freedom and Slavery in the Light of the New Jerusalem."

In 1792 the subject of this notice came to this country, fitted for college in the Boston Latin School, and graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1801, having the salutatory oration assigned to him at commencement. After graduating he spent sixteen months in foreign travel, and in 1803 returned and settled upon his estate, devoting much of his time thenceforward to its

improvement and to the benefit of the town which bears his name. A church, a lyceum, and a public library owe their existence to him. He was an active member of the Maine Historical Society, and was its president from 1846 to 1855. He was also a corresponding member of the Massachusetts Historical Society. March 23.-VAN RENSSELAER, Col. HENRY, Inspector-General of the United States Army, died in Cincinnati, aged about 53 years.

In 1841 he was elected a member of the House of Representatives from his district, and served through the three sessions of the 27th Congress. For some years past he had resided in Cincinnati, but upon the breaking out of the rebellion offered his services to his country, and was made by Gen. Scott chief of staff, with the rank of brigadier-general. Upon the retirement of Gen.

March 25. JANVIER, Rev. LEVI, a missionary of the Presbyterian Board of Missions, was murdered by a fanatic Sikh at Mela, in Lodiana, Northern India. He was born at Pittsgrove, N. J., April 25, 1816. His early studies were pursued under the instruction of his father, who was a Presbyterian clergyman. He subsequently entered Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., and studied for awhile at Lawrenceville, and then entered the junior class of Princeton College, where he graduated in 1837 as salutatorian of his class. Having united with the Presbyterian Church, and decided to prepare for the ministry, he entered the Theological Seminary at Princeton, and while a student there offered himself to the Board of Missions as a missionary to Lodiana. He sailed for India, accompanied by his wife, in September, 1841, and reached his destination in the spring of 1842. During his voyage he had commenced the study of the Urdu language, which is largely spoken in Lodiana; and possessing a remarkable facility for acquiring languages, he was able to preach in it soon after his arrival, and a few months later to translate some tracts and books into it. He next acquired a thorough familiarity with the Panjabi language, and with the aid of Dr. Newton, of the same mission, undertook the preparation of a Panjabi Dictionary, which was completed in 1854. It is a quarto volume of 438 pages, in three columns. He continued his labors as a preacher and translator up to the time of his death. He had gone to Mela to preach and distribute tracts, and in the evening was met by the

Michael's Parish, Litchfield, Conn. In 1854 he became rector of Grace Church, Utica, N. Y., where, also, a church was erected under his auspices. The honorary degree of D. D. was conferred on him by Hobart and Hamilton Colleges in 1863.

April 10.-THAYER, WILLIAM SIDNEY, United States Consul General to Egypt, died in Alexandria, Egypt. He was born in Haverhill, Mass., 1830, graduated at Harvard University in 1850, delivering the commencement poem on that occasion; and after engaging in literary pursuits in Boston, became in 1852 an attaché to the New York "Evening Post," with which journal he remained connected until his appointment in 1861 as consul general. For several years he was the Washington correspondent of the "Post," and in that capacity exhibited a sagacity and ripened judgment rarely seen in so young a man, and which gained him the esteem of eminent men of all political parties. It may be doubted whether any contemporary journalist of his age possessed so many influential friends in political or social life. By Mr. Seward and Mr. Sumner he was held in special regard; and during the illness of the latter, in consequence of the assault of Preston S. Brooks, Mr. Thayer spent many hours of each day with him, and was entrusted with the delicate task of reading and an

swering his correspondence. During the lat ter part of his connection with the "Evening Post," he performed, with rare tact and skill, the duties of associate editor. His own contributions were written with great perspicuity of style and knowledge of his subject, and not unfrequently were pervaded by a pleasant vein of humor, which formed a marked feature in his conversation. Ill health finally compelled him to desist from editorial labors to seek a more genial climate. His appointment to Egypt, it was hoped, would enable him to recruit his health, and at the same time to serve the country in a useful public capacity. Although the field was of limited extent for the display of diplomatic ability, it was the opinion of the Department of State that he was one of the most useful and successful of our representatives abroad. The manner in which he interposed in favor of Faris, a Christian missionary, and secured the punishment of his enemies, showed the energy and address of a practiced diplomatist. His health, however, was too shattered to enable him to derive much benefit from his residence in Egypt, and he gradually sank under the pulmonary disease which af fected him, his death being accelerated by official labors, from which he could not be persuaded to desist.

April 10.-TICKNOR, WILLIAM D., an eminent publisher of Boston, died at the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia. He was born in Lebanon, New Hampshire, in 1811, and entered a broker's office in Boston, Mass., at the age of 15, and accumulated considerable property by the time he was 21. Subsequently he was for two years a bank teller, and then entered upon the bookselling and publishing business, in which he continued till his death. He early formed the acquaintance and became the publisher of some of the most eminent of the poets of Boston and its vicinity, and his editions of the poems and prose works of Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes, Whittier, and Saxe, as well as Tennyson, Leigh Hunt, Massey, Dobell, Bulwer, and other English poets, and of De Quincey, Sir Walter Scott, Dickens, Kingsley, Hawthorne, Holmes, and other eminent English and American novelists and essayists, had established for his house a high reputation on both sides of the Atlantic.

House, and then of the Senate. In 1829 he was appointed Register of the Court of Probate for Hampden County, which position he held for over twenty years.
