WM Llkrariaa •( •he Law IMIIMIC HIBM IW. Mr. Caleb Judson Richardson, the well known assistant librarian of the Chicago Law Institute, died at his home, No. 161 Locußt street, at 5:80 o'clock yesterday morning. The funeral services will be con ducted by Dr. Simeon Gilbert and Dr. G. S. F. Savage at the New England Congregational church, Dearborn avenue at 2 o'clook. The funeral will be private and the inter ment will take place at Rose Hill. Mr. Richardson was born in Har ford, Susquehanna county, Pennsyl vania, July 8, 1827. He attended public school until his fifteenth year when he entered the Hartford Acad emy, then under the supervision of his uncle, Dr. Lyman Richardson. From the Academy he entered Ham ilton College and was graduated with high honors, receiving the des gree of B. A. He then entered the law office of Judge William Jessup and commenced the study of law. He came to Chicago Thanksgiving Day, 1860, In 1867 Mr. Richardson became assistant librarian of the Chioago Law Institute and until June 16 of this year had retained the same position. During the late civil war Mr. Richardson was a member of the Christian Commission and spent many months in this work on the Held of battle. Mr. Richardson has always been active in church work. Before coming to Chicago he was an elder in the Presbyterian church of Laporte, Sullivan county, Pa. In 1863 he became a member of the Chicago New England Congrega tional church, and had been a deacon of this house for ove» ten years. For ten consecutive years Mr. Rich ardson was also the superintendent of its Sunday school. He had been prominently connected with the Sedgwick street Mission since it had been established by the New England church. A great part of the success of the church and mission work was due to the great efficiency of Mr. Richardson. He was a hard and earnest worker in all that pertained to his church. Of his efforts it may be said: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." Mr. Richardson was married to Miss Priscilla Meylert, in Scranton, Pa., August 29,1871. Two children are the fruit of their marriage, Miss May Meylert Richardson and Wil liam Lee Richardson. The mother and children survive him. Two brothers and a sister also survive him. Dr. Wm. Richardson is one of the brothers and a noted physician of Montrose, Pa. For twenty-3ve years Mr. Richard son has been in poor health. June 10 of this year he visited his brother Dr. Richardson, with the hope of re gaining his health. His Eastern trip did not improve his lung trouble and c'her complications set in which resulted in his death— Chicago In ter Ocean. Those ot our older citizens who were resident* of Sullivan county thirty-five or forty years ago will re call the subject of the obituary given above. Mr. Richardson came to this county in 1854 and became a partner of Hon. A. J. Oietrick in the practice of law. It was during this year that the act providing for a more effioient system of publio schools was passed. Mr. Richardson was an earnest advocate of the system of free schools which was then receiv ing strong opposition in sections of the county. Judge Bedford was at that time 1111- iug the newly created office of county superintendent At the expiration of his term Mr. Richardson was the unanimous choice of the directors of the county for the position which he held from 1857 to 1860. It was on account of this work that many of our older citiaens will bring him to mind and will unite in expression of sympathy for tbe wife and children in the time of their affliction.

Mbylkrt. [CONTINUED FBOM LAST WEBK.] The Wyoming colony not only ens joyed great temporal prosperity but their spiritual wants were carefully looked after. Public religious wor ship was regularly maintained morn ing and evening of each day. The Sabbath was spent in quiet with re ligious services as the result of peace and good order of the place, it was continually thronged with visitors, and so the great lessons of faith in God were learned by many in their brancient visits. Accessions to the church were constant. The children were carefully taught both secular and religious knowledge, and all looked hopefull that the ideal homes of the Moravean missionaries for the Indians would be practically worked out, other mission points from this centre were being reached and brought under like civilization, but their hopes were not to be then rea lized. The ruling powers were against them and they awoke to the fact that their possessions were con verted by others and sooner or later be taken from them. Before making any considerable expendaturo they had secured the promise of peaceable possession of the property from Gov. John Penn and the Indians that laid claim to their property but in both instances they found that no dependance could be put upon eithei of the parties. In addition to this the Connecticut Company were mak ing surveys of the land consequently another location must be sought. Rev. Zeisburger in this instance as he had in many other, become their adviser. He had in his labors for a few years spent considerable time preaching to tbe Delaware In dians in the Allegheny country and they knowing that the Wyalusing colony would be obliged to give up their home, solicited Zeisberger to liave them come and moke their home with them. This plan after being carefully considered was final ly agreed to. A few families had in advtince left Wyalusing and removed to this point. The place selected was the Tuscarawas Valley on the Tionesta creek a tributary of the Allegheny river. During the fall of 1771 Zeisburger gathered a com pany of friendly Indians at place, who assisted him to clear grounds, build huts and make preparations for the reception ot the colony iu the spring. The work at the same time at their homes, for the journey was daily progressing. The plan arranged for the undertaking was to divide into two parties, one by the overland route to the West Branch through our county, the other l>3' canoes down the river to Northumberland :ind thence up the West Branch by water as far as the Great Island near Lock Haven. New canoes had to be built and their surplus stock and grain was sold and on the 10th of June 1772. T» <- ' - wa abandoned. The iell taken from the church, 140 people with the baggage went in 30 canoes, and 54 with the cattle and horses crossed the river and took the palh for the West Branch following up Sugar Run crossing the head waters of Little Loyalsock and Birch Creek and thence the Big Loyalsock at the turnpike crossing, and from that point to the head waters of Muney Creek arriving at the end of five days' journey to the Wells' farm, now H»H« station where they remained for five days awaiting the arrival of the fleet of canoes, the union of the colony being on the 20th of June, fiuding it iinjiracticable to attempt to cross the Allegheny* with so large amount of goods they sold a part or their canoes with much of their iron and woodware and many of their cattle, and farther up the river, sold tbe window glass that had been taken from the chapel. Leaving tbe Weet Brunch took the mountain path to the Allegbeney river and then defending the river by eanoea they arrived at their destination on the sth of August. The Missionary Roth who acooinpanied this emigra tion wrote: "Scarce a day passed but what we were able to distribute ratious of meat, and never did a soul goto bed hungry." from thi* date with the exception of the Moravieu villages there seems to have been no |»rtuiiiaucy to lu* dian homes oit the Susquehanna. The Oelawares like the Shawanese Miatua* aud other ludiau nation* after the formation of our national tjuveriiiuuHi, took the Westward march stopping for a time on the Muskiughaui river iu Ohio, when their failli|nl minister Wev. burger died iu Mtm, afterwards they uiadu their home uu the White j Water liver iu tudiaua, 'l'Ueueu thejr crossed the Mieeieippt aud are MJW vsUWisbed w ike JUMM rim, having a reservation fifty miles square others are in Texas. The religious principals taught by the Quakers and Moraveans have been handed down from generation to generation. They are now among the most prosperous of Indian nations, most of them speak the English language. There are none but would be called civilized people very many of them are well educated cultivated and wealthy. When we take in consideration the other Indian nations that have lost their exißtance, we can but attribute the prosperity of the Delawares to the early labors of Penn and the christian influences brought to bear upon them in the darkest hour of the history of Pennsylvania. COKTIHPED. So many kind words have been spoken for the individual members of the Republican county ticket dur ing the past week or two as to cause a steady growth of the feeling that both our nominees for Sheriff and Prothonotary will be elected. If the situation was encouraging at the start it iB more than encouraging now, and the friends of the respec tive candidates can take off their coats and goto work with the assur ance that their efforts will not be in vain. Both candidates have friends outside of their own party followers who are anxious for success, and trom this it will be apparent to all why there are such strong grounds for basing a prediction of success at the polls in November. Tbe one thing requisite, however, and which should impress itself firmly on every worker, is the necessity for getting out the entire Republican vote to back up the reinforced vote and to make assurance doubly sure. The Republicans in every district should see to it personally that there is no negligence that might result in the loss of a single vote. If this be done and if the Republican strength is polled, the candidates on the Repub lican county ticket will be returned as elected when the votes are count" ed. A Car Load of Tickets, The contract for printing the admission tickets to the Cotton States and international Exposition has been let to the Globe Ticket Co. >f Philadelphia. There will be a lifferent ticket for each daj, and thirty thousand of each ticket will oe printed.

The tickets will be printed at once, ind will make an even car load in all —one of the biggest single ship ments of tickets ever printed in i America. Mileage Books. The W. & N. B. R. R.
