DAUGHERTY—On the Bth dav of December. 1563, at his residence in Bedford, Pa., after a brief illness, Hon William T. Daugherty, aged 57 years, 4 months and 7 days. The subjeet of this notice, whose age is as stated above, was born in the borough of Bedford, on the Ist day of August, 1811. He began his career from tho humbler walks of life—and the conspicu ous part that he subsequently performed in its '•fitful drama"' is the writers apology for this fur ther imperfect tribute to his memory. It is said, that the story of every human life, if rightly told, may convey a lesson to those who survive. His was an instance in which success was acheived without the brilliant qualities, which the world calls genius, but by what is better far, a sound judgment, a resolute purpose to pursue the right, and capacity to gather wisdom from experience. Whilst quite young, as I gather from his earliest companions, he was remarked as a boy of great assiduity, with a clear, strong and vigorous mind —poor indeed, and as it would seem, almost alone he rose from the quiet walks of life, that seemed at first to promise little hope of advancement to the vari >us positions of public eminence which he fill ed before he died. Quisqitt suae fortuuae faher. —"Every one is the architect of his own fortune," seemed to be the motto upon which he lived and acted, —and whether viewed as the young aspiring merchant, a judge, a legislator, or a private siti icn, he was always seen moving among his fellow men with manifestations of constant respect for their rights and their positions, and was ever diss tinguistied by that constant deference t" other whieh is always the characteristic of excessive modesty and available talents. In 1818, he was put forward by his friends for the position of Associate Judge of theseveral Courts of the county, and on the 25th of February of that year received the appointment and was commissioned by David R. Porter, then Governor of the State, "by and with the advice and consent of the Sen ate," for the period of five years, to bo eoraputtd from the 7th day of February, 1843. On the 28th of February, 18IS, ho was again appointed to the same position and received a commission, t f that date, signed by Francis R. Shunk. then Governor, entitling him to hold the office five years longer, to be computed from that date. In 1851, he was nominated by the Democratic party, as one of their candidates for the same position, and on the sec ond Tuesday of October was elected to the office by a inj >rity considerably exceeding that of any candidate upon the tiekct. In 1853 he received the nomination of the same party as one of their candidates for tho Legislature, in the district then composed of the counties of Bedford, Cambria and Fulton, and on the 17th of October, 1853, was duly elected with a majority 153 above that of his col league for the same position. In 1854 ho was re nominated, by the same party, as one of their can didates for the same position, in the same district, and was agaia elected, loading his ticket in this instance by a majority of 134y votes. In 1357 he was appointed Revenue Commission er for the lfith district of the Stato, composed of the counties of Franklin, Fulton, Bedford and Somerset, under the Act of Assembly of 2ath April, A. D., 1814. On the 11th day of February, A. D , 1891, he was admitted to practice law in the several courts of Bedford county. Ho never engaged actively in ' the practice ot Lis profession, but teems to have read rather for the reason suggested by Black stone, "That a com; tent knowledge of tho laws of the land in which ha lives is tho proper accom plishment of every gentleman and scholar." To say of him that he performed his duties well in all the positions he occupied is not enough. Firm, hut courteous, frank and fearless, of high honor and irreproachable morals, he brought a vigorous intellect, with varied and extensive information, to the public councils, and the ripe fruit of his ex perience, joined to these endowments, gave con viction to Lis opinions and authority to his exam ple. As a legislator he was remarkable for bis quiet and unobtrusive, but active practical use fulness. He was emphatically a business member of the Hjtue, and without ostentation, procured the adoption of more useful measures than many who filled the public eye with greater exhibitions of rhetorical display. Certain it is that no one ever did more than Lo to procure all proper legislation for the people of his own district, and it is perhaps not saying too much, to add. that to no oue here, more than he, are our people indebted for the eon struetion of the Broad Top Mountain Railroad, and consequent development of one of the most valuable coal fields in the State, which, prior thereto was but Htttle known and appreciated. With ail that rich mineral region, composed in UFWOURA ASEACOYSJ* parts of Huntingdon, Fulton and Bedford counties, he was familiar, ami readily forsaw what it would speedily become when once afforded the proper fa cilities necessary to its development. He was a mong the first 1* borers for the enterprise and enter ed upon tr e work with the same earnest heart and determined will, tuat he engaged in everything The task seemed herculean, aud to some, of less resolution, impracticable. Yet he never paused until he saw success crown ing that vast public enterprise, and found him self, also, the possessor of a comfortable fortune, thus proving again to the world, by his example, that—*' For a bright manhood there is no such word as fail!" But life and its busy scenes on this side the grave are now closed on him forever ; and he has left us to chase for a little while longer the shad ows which he has exchanged for unutterable re alities; Here, where his character was best un derstood, and his usefulness and virtues most highly appreciated, his loss as a public man, and a private friend, is most painfully felt and deep ly lamented. In all the relations of private life, as son, husband, father, friend, in the family and social circle, he was Icved and honored as well from the amenity of his manner as from the kind ness of his heart But. perhaps, we should — "Weep not for him who dietb, For he sleeps and is at rest; And the couch on which he lieth, Is the green earth's quiet breast !" In this pasting notice, there is not room to do full or ample justice to the memory of the deceas ed. Outside of hisown family circle. I kuew him perhaps more intimately than any one else. The friend of many, he was also my friend, though I can here but feebly express the sentiments of af fectionate regard with which an intimate acquain tance of many years had inspired me. And now friend of my early years — "WheL hearts whose truth is proven, Like thine, are laid in earth, There should a wreath be woven To tell the world their worth ; An 1 I, who woke even morrow To greet thy hand with mine, Who shared thy joy and sorrow. Whose weal aud woe were thine, It should be mine to braid it Around tby faded brow, But I've in vain essayed it, ' And feel I cannot now. While memory bids me weep thee. Nor thoughts nor words are free, The grief is fixed too deeply That mourns a man like thee." H. MARRIED. BOOB—RIDDLE—On the morning of the 16th inst., at the Luthern Parsonage, by Rev. J. Q.
