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.

[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.

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"
