Dec. 14,

The RIGHT REVEREND NICHOLAS HAMNER COBBS, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Alabama, died in Montgomery, Friday, Jan. 11th, aged 65 years, 11 months, and 6 days. An Obituary of this universally respected and beloved prelate, will appear in our next Number. From no one have we received warmer and kinder expres sions of approbation in our Editorial labors, than from the late Bishop of Alabama; and with multitudes, in all parts of the Church, we mourn his loss as a personal bereavement.

The REV. WENTWORTH L. CHILDS, Rector of St. Alban's Parish, near Washington, D. C., died Dec. 14, 1860. He was a native of New Hampshire; was brought up in the Church; was ordained Deacon by Bishop C. Chase, in St. John's, Portsmouth, July 11, 1849; and Priest, by the same Bishop and in the same place, Dec. 28, 1851. He was for a time Assistant Minister in St. John's, Portsmouth; and in 1853 removed to St. Alban's Parish, D. C., where he remained until his death.

The REV. RICHARD COX died in New York City, Dec. 16, 1860, aged 52 years. He was born in New York City in 1808; was designed for the mercantile profession; comparatively late in life gave himself to the service of God and the Ministry of His Church; fitted for College and graduated at Columbia in 1833; studied at the General Theological Seminary, and was ordained Deacon in 1836 by Bishop B. T. Onderdonk; was Missionary pioneer at Vicksburg, Miss.; was then Rector for several years of St. John's Church, Troy, N. Y.; then, for a year or two, of St. Paul's Parish, Woodbury, Conn.; then, for thirteen years, was Rector of Zion Church, New York City; then, with health infirm, became Rector of St. John's, St. Croix, W. Indies, and recently returned to his native city with an incurable disease. Mr. Cox was ardent in his feelings, self-sacrificing in his friendships, and laborious in the chosen work of his life.

The REV. JOSEPH H. INGRAHAM, D.D., Rector of Christ Church, Holly Springs, Miss., died at that place Dec. 18, 1860, aged 51 years. His death was caused by an accident. Having a loaded pistol in his hand, it slipped from him and in its fall discharged the ball which entered his thigh and passed up into his side. He lingered ten days amid almost indescribable sufferings, which he bore with Christian

fortitude, and died full of faith, and hope, and love. He was born at Portland, Maine, in 1809, of Congregational parents. He entered Yale College but did not graduate; went to Buenos Ayres, S. A., as clerk to a commercial house; spent several years after his return as teacher; and about 1830 was Professor in Jefferson College, near Natchez. He here won a wide reputation as a writer of Novels and other works; as "The South-West by a Yankee;" "Lafitte;" "Burton;" "The Quadroon," &c. About the year 1847, he received Confirmation at the hands of Bishop Whittingham in Washington City; and at Nashville, Tenn., established a flourishing Seminary for young ladies, studying for Holy Orders meantime under the late Rev. Mr. Tomes. He was ordained Deacon in Trinity Church, Natchez, March 9, 1851, and Priest in St. Andrews, Jackson, March 7, 1852, by Bishop Green. He was Missionary at Aberdeen, Miss., then Rector of St. John's Church, Mobile, Ala.; his next charge was at Riverside, Tenn.; he removed to Holly Springs in 1858, where he also revived St. Thomas' Hall. Besides being the author of some religious pamphlets, his "Prince of the House of David," "The Pillar of Fire," and "The Throne of David," have been very popular. He was widely known, and greatly respected and esteemed.

DIED in New York City, Jan. 5th, 1861, the REV. HENRY ANTHON, D.D., Rector of St. Mark's Church, aged 66 years. He was born in New York City in March 1795. His father, Dr. G. C. Anthon, though a German by birth, was an officer in the British army, and at the close of the last century settled in New York. The late deceased was one of his six sons, of whom Charles Anthon, the classical scholar, and John Anthon, the lawyer, have become distinguished in their respective vocations. He was ordained Deacon by Bishop Hobart in Nov. 1816, and took charge of the Parish in Red Hook, N. Y. In 1819 he was called to St. Bartholomew's Church in S. C.; he left there in 1821, and officiated in Trinity Church, Utica, N. Y., till 1829; in St. Stephen's Church, New York City, till 1831; and in Trinity Church till 1836, when he became Rector of "St Mark's in the Bowery," where he remained during the last twenty-four years of his life. His Protest to the Rev. Arthur Carey's Ordination, July 2nd, 1843, and events attending that act, led to a separation of Dr. Anthon from those with whom ecclesiastically he had formerly been associated; and, as Editor of the Protestant Churchman, as a chief founder of the Evangelical Knowledge Society, the Church Missionary Society, and in numerous other capacities, he has been specially prominent. That he was thoroughly honest in his opinions, no one can doubt; while his tenacity of purpose, his intellectual strength, and his purity of character, made him emphatically a man of mark. His Funeral Services were held in St. Mark's Church, Jan. 8th.

DIED in New York City, Jan. 10, 1861, Rev. CHARLES W. HACKLEY, D.D., Professor of Astronomy in Columbia College, aged 52 years. He was born in 1809, at Herkimer, New York. He entered the Military Academy at West Point, as a cadet, in the year 1825, and was promoted brevet lieutenant on the 1st of July, 1829. From August 30th of that year to August 31st of the next, he filled the post of Assistant Professor of Mathematics at that Institution. He was again employed in the same capacity from January, 1832, to September in the next year, when he resigned, and soon after took Orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church. He was Professor of Mathematics in the University of New York from 1833 to 1839, when he was elected to the Presidency of Jefferson College, in Mississippi.

He became Rector of St. Peter's Church, Auburn, W. N. Y., which he resigned in 1840, and engaged in teaching. From the year 1843 up to the time of his death he filled the chair of Mathematics in Columbia College. He was the author of several elementary scientific works: a "Treatise on Algebra," published in 1846, an "Elementary Course on Geometry," which appeared in 1847, and "Elements of Trigonometry, with their Practical Application to Navigation and Nautical Astronomy." The merit of these works is attested by their extensive use for the purposes of instruction. His death was occasioned by a nervous fever. He leaves a large circle of friends, whom he has won by his kindness of heart, the gentleness of his manners, and his useful life.

DIED in Shannonville, Pa., Jan. 16th, 1861, the REV. GEORGE MINTZER, aged 59 years, Rector of Union Church in that town. He was born in Philadelphia of Lutheran parents, but conformed to the Church under the Rev. Dr. Boyd, and was confirmed by Bishop White. He was ordained Deacon by Bishop P. Chase, in St. John's, Philadelphia, Jan. 27, 1827, and became Assistant to the Rev. Dr. Bedell, of St. Andrew's, Philadelphia. Subsequently he was called to the Rectorship of St. Gabriel's Church, Douglassville, and Christ Church, Pottstown, Montgomery County; and whilst there, was advanced to the Priesthood by the Rt. Rev. H. U. Onderdonk. His next charge was St. Andrew's and St. Mark's Churches, in the adjacent county of Chester; and after a faithful and laborious ministry of several years, he returned to Montgomery County, and became the Rector of St. James' Church, Evansburg, and the Union Chapel, near Shannonville; of the latter parish he had charge nearly twenty years.

The REV. CALVIN WOLCOTT died in New York City, Jan. 21, 1861, aged 73 years. He was a native of Massachusetts, was ordained in Marblehead; was settled in Hermon, Quincy, Otis, and other places; was for many years Agent for the American Bible Society; and for a few of the later years of his life was a parish Missionary under the Rev. Dr. Tyng of New York City.

The REV. SENECA G. BRAGG died at Kingston, N. Y., Jan. 21, 1861, in the 69th year of his age. He was a graduate of Middlebury College, Vt.; studied theology at the Alexandria Seminary, Va.; he was the founder and Rector of Christ Church, Macon, Geo., where he labored fifteen years. His later years have been passed in great physical infirmity, but in patience and submission.

The REV. DANIEL SCOTT died at South Salem, N. Y., Jan. 30, 1861, aged 25 years. He was Minister of the Parishes in South Salem and North Salem at the time of his death. He was ordained Deacon by Bishop Williams, April 28, 1859, in St. James' Church, Danbury, Conn., and Priest by Bishop H. Potter, Nov. 8, 1860, in St. John's Church, Lewisboro, N. Y.

The REV. THOMAS C. Castleman, Missionary, died at St. Joseph, Tensas Parish, Louisiana, Feb. 7, 1861. Besides his labors at St. Joseph, he officiated at several plantations in the neighborhood. A correspondent says, all about through the country he itinerated, carrying with him the Church and its blessed teachings. His influence has been most marked and extensive, his zeal indomitable, his courage and cheerfulness unfailing, his labors indefatigable. His first charge, we believe, was at Staunton, Va., where he labored for fourteen years with great success, building a beautiful Church, and establishing the Virginia Female Institute. For two years he was engaged in teaching in the Diocese of Illinois.
