_. Obituary.
Death Of James Mallory.
Dild, at his residence in Norwalk, on
Thursday last, J auss Mauoav, in the Slst
year of his age. He was born in Norwalk
July 10, 1799, and for a generationJ was a
prominent and active bu=i less man and al-
ways a respectldresident of the place of
his nativity. At twelve years of age be
entered his father’s store as a clerk, the of“:
ficc standing on the corner where the Cousins
shoe factory building curves down towards
the Pottery. He remained as clerk in his
' untr store till he was twen-
fathers co y y be started
ty-one. On reaching his majoril . ‘
a similar one on iii own account in an ad
building standing on the site of that now
occupied by Mr. Blascer. From this site the
old store was moved to the lot where now
stands the blacksmith shop just north 'of
Quintard’s Block, on Knight street. Wm“
conducting this store, on the 13th dfay of
armor 1820, at twenty-one years 0 age,
he was lilarried to Miss Rebecca Fitch,(daugh-
ter of Jonathan Fitch), of Norwalk, who
still survives him. Here he also formed a part-
nership, in the your 1831, with our venerable
Town Treasurer, Mr. Eli B. Bennett, who
was then carrying on the same line of trade
in a store adjoining—on the present site of
Lockwood’s Hall. In 1834 this pditnersbip
was dissolved and be again continued the
store alone till 1840. He then formed a
copnrtnersbip with Mr. Win. K. Lewis, who
had previously been his clerk, and closing
out his general stock of hardware, groceries,
crockery, country produce, and dry goods,
such as constituted the model “country
store" of the olden time, the new firm
confined itself exclusively to dry goods.
This partnership continued a full quarter
of a century, when Mr. Mallory in 1864 sold
out to Mr. Lewis and retired, to quietly
enjoy the comfortable competence his saga-
city and prudence had secured him. At the
time of his death, he was Director and Sec—
retary of the Union'Manufacturing Company
of this place. He instinctively shrank from all
official positions or public notoriety. His
family was all the world to bim—_—Thc source
of his highest joy and his chiefest pride.
Rigidly exact and severely close in all his
business dealings, he was generous to a fault
with the loved ones of his household. It is
now forty-years since Mr. Lewis first be—
came associated with him, and in all this
great number of years he was never known
to have a week of sickness. Always
active and careful and free from any
"ice or excess, be had grown up with a
' “i“ and firm physical constitution.

Our community was startled on Thursday
afternoon last by the announcement of the
deceasc of the aged Rector of St. Paul’s
church. His name has been a household
word in our homes for more than a genera-
tion—and although of late years we have
occasionally heard that he was sick, yet was
it very difficult to realize that Dr. Mead was
dead.
“I am immortal till my work is done,” he
was accustomed to to say. and there Will
much of meaning in the'expression as he
uttered it. He was immortal—full of zeal
and force until the end. His last day on this
earth was spent in duty. That partially
written manuscript, commenced only a short
time since, attests it. Thou: words of in-
struction to his assistant on the very morning
of his deatb,permissioninghim to make apes.
toral visit in a remote portion of the parish,
sending a message of lpve to an afflicted
member of his communion nearer homo, and
deliberating how he might seecurc t ) another
the advantages of intellectual culture, also
attest it. That after-dinner drive, as a pro.-
paration, perhaps, for an afternoon and
evening of labor in his study and at his books
attest it. Dr. Head was immortal, was un-
flinching and untiring, was faithful to .the
last.
His life—no one can write it—was filled in
and filled up with deeds which men may have
known but little of, but‘which the angels
saw and which God applauds; His parish,
the diocese, and the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States are bereaved. A
good man has fallen, and further a great man
has fallen.
That Doctor Mead was a man of extraordi—
nary natural endowments and of untiring
diligence in the cultivation of them from his
youth up, is proved by the fact that he took_
a préminent place in the councils of the
church at a very early period of his ministe-
rial career. Less than threc years after his
ordination to the Deaconatc, we find him rec-
tor of Trinity church, Philadelphia, and a
member of the standing committee of the
friend and confidential adviser of Bishop
White. In 1832 we see him wielding an in—
fluence in the General Convention of which
far older men than he was then, might well
have been proud. Not the least among the
services which be rendered to the church at
that session was the work that he did,in com-
mon with the other members of the commit-
tee appointcd for that pnrposc,in revising the
Hymnology of the church, the result of their
joint labors in this direction being the admir-
able collection ef hymns attached to the Pray-
er Book. Forty-fivc years consecutively he
served the Church as a member of the Gen-
eral Convocation—acting as its Secrefiry—
several of those years in succession. and labor-
ing on one or another of its Committees dur-
ing the period intervening between its ses—
sions. As the chairman of its Committee on
Canons, for many years, he did-a work for
the church, the magnitude of which is be-
yond all question, while its effect in promo-
ting her peace and prosperity surpasses
human calculation.

it was his most delightful recreatio‘i‘ ‘0 ride
to the high grounds surroundi our
town and look off upon the loan erable
vistas of incomparable land and water
scenery. In matters of school education in
Norwalk, he always took an especially
active and intelligent interest. Avoiding
partisan politics he was nevertheless most
keenly alive to every matter of local im-
provement and beneficial municipal policy.
He was ever a friend of the worthy poor,
whether of his church or not, and his char.
itable benefactions were untold fii'numbers
as they were large and onerous in amounts.
His friendliness was a proverbial trait, and
his fund of humoras sparkling and bubbling
as a spring of running water. We well rc—
member during a social call, his remark that
himself and his guest were so constituted
mentally and physically, that “neither could
_ eve’r grow old. ” He said he “fancied some-
times that a fairy had visited him when
asleep and put a pair of old man’s legs under
him, but that his brain and body kept on as
youthful as ever, so far as he could see or
feel."
Elsewhere other tributes, more elaborate
and worthy, are bestowed upon this noble and
lovable man of God. His Maker bad blessed
him abundantly with rich and precious intel-
lectual gifts, and his highest ambition was to
use these great powers in his Mmters' service.
He was an earnest, eloquent and forcible
“preacher of the Word”—Emphatically a
Man or Goa, in contradistlnction with and
in contempt of all pious affectations of the
technical “trimmer." His rendering of the
burial service at the funeral of the late Sena—

feature of that solemn and painful occasion.

derful manner and effect of; that simple ser—
vice. It was grand in its sincere simplicity.
He deeply loved and admired our dead Sen-
pastor'e heart was in everyt
word he uttered. This was the only were
of its wonderful potency. And how like

——“I think I am going to (taco you, now!
Yes, going to receive the full fruition of the
Master’s benediction—“Well done, good (1
faithful servant, cuter than into the jo f

Such a close of such along and use
was most beautiful and most becoming. It
was the rather, more like a heavenly transla—
tion than ifiortal death.

ful life.
The Doctor's remarkable force of charac-
‘iia stern uncompromising adherence to
~~uvictions—-his resolute determ-
own way where he knew
and the best way
in peace, thou shalt be bufied in a good ‘old
we." . ..
Both these promises were assuredly strik-
ingly fulfilled in the case of the late Rector
of St. Paul's. Following on a busy and ac-
tive life, there had been given him several
years of quiet and peaceful retirement; not
from the duties of his immediate charge, but
from the wider sphere in which he had for
so many years, and so efilciently wrought.
There had been those gentle ministration: in
his pastoral home, the honored memory of
which will always be associated with the last
years of his lengthened life. The bright and
peaceful summer's day was drawing onward
to its end, and the last object on which his
mortal vieon rested was the church he loved
so Well, standing in the evening light amid
the peaceful graves of those who slumbered
beneath the shadows. The last earthly voice
that fell upon his car was the one that was
dear to him beyond all others.
And this peaceful end came to a good old
age; good because of the gathering years
which brought him the love and honor of
many hearts; good because of the more than
half-century's service in the Church of God;
good alike in its honors and its lebors,—ln its
work and its results. One could not but re—
mark the striking coincidences in the services
of the Sunday that followed his departure;
especially the fact that the Epistle for the day
contained the Easter Anthem, “Christ being'
raised from the dead, dieth no more; death
hath no more dominion over him."
Dr. Mead came hither in the summer of
1836, as the successor of Dr. Jackson Kemp-
er, who had been elected and consecrated the
' first Missionary Biabopof the Northwest.
On the last Sunday in June of the present
rectorship of St. Paul's and preached at both
services, A pastorate of 43 years is excep-
tional in a marked degree in these days of
frequent changes. But it is not alone for its
is a notable one. When he became rectbr of
this parish there was but one other congregao
tion of our church within the limitsof what
hadbeen the cure connected with SLPuul’e and
that one had only just been organized. Now
there are within those limits four congrega-
tious every one having its own parish church,
all but one of which were built during his
rectorsbip. When he came the communicante
throughout this whole region formed but a
all household of faith—now they are to be
numbered by hundreds. But after all no ste-
tistics can give us a satisfactory account of the
vast amount of pastoral work done during
such a lengthened rectorahip. The results of
such work are written in another than an
earthly record. Nor is it within his. pastoral
charge merely that the death of the late rec—
tor of St. Paul‘s makes a void which will long
be felt. His long life has identified him with
the place itself, and living as he did among
men, and not separated from them, his life
has become in truth a part of its own. The
place that knew him once’will know him no
more forever; but it will belong, indeed, be.»
tore his memory will pass iWay.
But Dr. Meed’s work and influence were by
no means confined to his own especial cure.
They were freely given to the Church at
large. Ordained in 1824, and two years after
pbia, he was brought immediately into confi-
dential relations with the venerable presiding

a very fitting one. ,

chanting their vcsper hymns from the bougbs

gleanis through the old trees about the green,

WILLIAM Cooritn Milan was born in Green-
wich, Fairfield County, Conn., October 26,
1795. He was examined for ordination Jan.
5th. 1824, by Bishop Cross in the presence of
Rev. Drs. Byard and Rosevelt Johnson, at
New Brunswick, N. J ., and next day Bishop
Croes ordained him. He was ordained to the
priestth by Bishop Hobart, of New York.
His first duty was organizing Grace Parish at
White Plains. He at the same time labored
in the parishes of Sing Sing, Tarrytown, and
Grecnburg. He next accepted the Rector.
ship of Christ Church, at Reading, Pa., and
subsequently was installed pastor of Trinity
Church, Philadelphia, where he talked for
ten consecutive years. From Philadelphia be
was called to St. Paul’s, N orwalk, and preach.
ed his first sermon on the first Sabbath in
July, 1830, where he has faithfully labored
for ' forty—three years. He declined the
proffers of Bishoprics and Missions, being
charmed with the beautiful rural features of
our town and his pleasant surroundings in his
home, parish and church. He was an active
and zealous Mason. having been made in 1824
in Westchester Lodge, N e. 40, of White
Plains. He was elected an honorary member
of St.John’s Lodge, No. 6, of Norwalk, in
1858, and was for a long series of years its
trustee and chaplain. He was also at differ-
ent times Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge
of Connecticut and Pennsylvania, and of the
Grand Chapter of this State.
He was one of the four Episcopal clergy-
men in this country who have continued rec-
tors of the same parish for a period of forty
consecutive years. The “Rector'a Cane" now
goes to Rev. Mr. Yarringtsn, of Greenwich,
the next oldest, in service, in any parish in
Connecticut. He received his degree of
L. L. D. from Trinity College, Hartford,
of which institution be was fer a long
time, and up to his death, a trustee,and D. D.
from the University of Pennsylvania.
He had been unusually well on the do? of
his death. Had ridden out after dinner and
his horse having been frightened by the cars
near the East Avenue crossing, down towu,
it is supposed the excitement and exertion
put forth to manage the animal, was the la-
tent cause of’bis sudden decease. He walk-
ed into his garden on his return home, but
soon called his boy to assist him to the house.
He had reached the portico, and seated him-
self in his chair. when remarking—“l think
I am going to leave you now”—.-bp Swill into

a faithful friend. ..

Two qualities stood prominently out in it—
sincerity and steadfastneee. What he felt he

Stores to Close.
Several of our leading merchants have
,p‘ropoecd to close their stores between the
hours of two or three o'clock on" Tuesday, or
while the funeral procession of Mr. James
Mallory passes to the cranetery. This is
deemed a fitting tribute of respect 'to the
memory of one of Norwelk's oldest mer—
chants.
On Wednesday it has been very generally
agreed to close all places of business between
two and three o'clock p. m.,in respect for the
memory of Rev. Dr. Mead.
We have no doubt thatall our business.
citizens will heartily join in this, and thus
make the cessation of business general.
There can be but one feeling about the mat-
ter and let it be universally done.

Notice to this etfgct was given from the
chancel of St. Paul's church, Sunday :—
The parishioners and fellow citizens of the
departed Dr. Mead, who may wish to take a
last look of their late pastor and friend, will
have the opportunity for so doing on the
morning of the funeral between the board of
10 and 12} o'clock.
A deputation from the Warden and Vest-
rymen of the parish will be in attendance at
the parsonage during those hours to receive
such as may desire to see the remains pre-
vions to the obsequies in the church, at 2
o'clock, Wednesday. '
There was a very large attendance at St.
Paul's church on sunday morning last. The
church was draped in mourning, the late
Rector'a chair, the chancel screen, organ,
sides of galleries, and arches, over the doors
being covered with black. The altar alone
was covered with the Easter vestments.
Rev. Mr. Selleck conducted the exercises,
reading the morning services as usual, The
07th and 29th hymns were selected. and
prayers were uked and offered for the im-
mediate family of the deceased and his larger
family—the parish. Formal announcements
were made of the Rector’a death, followed
by notice of funeral, all in simplest form.
The Bishop preached a sermon, or, rather,
made an informal, impromptu address to
the peorile, mingling his sorrow with theirs,
speaking of the Rector'a connection with the
local church, his connection with the church
at large, the Bishop’s personal relations with
the Rector, and the Rector’a character as a
man, closing with an affecting tribute, mov-
ing many to tears. '

Obituary. . .
' a. A telegram was yesterday received in this
idly announcin the death of Rev. William

lnent Protestant Episcopal clergymen n the

The Board of Directors of the National
Bank of Norwalk have voted to recommend
a reduction of the capital stock. The capi-
tel is now $800,000 and it is proposed to
reduce _ it to $240,000. The Board unani-
mously recommend this change simply be-
cause it is impossible for the Bank to use its
full capital in safe andremuueretive invest-
ments, in these times of depression. By
this course a large saving in taxes will be
made, and the earnings. Will be applied to
dividends upon a less number of shares.
The stockholders will vote upon the propoud
change at a meeting to be held Aug. 22d.

of Killarney, the, in Moriaon’s moat quaint
and unique style. Speaking of their tour of
the lakes he says :—“About noon, on gaging
carriages, horses and boats, we started to do
tour of the flakes. After riding aboutefive
miles, we reached Miss Kate Kearney's
grand-daughter's cottage, a beentifuly situa-
ted abanty, built from the soil of the neigh-
borhood and covered with a canopy of
straw—a structure that Jame Mitchell, would
rate at $100, but which we rated at 825."
They then visited Dublin, Belfast, in Ireland,
Gleecow and Edinburgh in Scotland, before
embarking in their “Pullman Palace Car,"
for London, after doing which the party is
to proceed to Paris. “All are and have been

During the summer months every one tries
sll and every known method for passing the
time pleasantly, agreeably and lazily. Now-
a-deys, wherever they have good shade, one
of the prevailing modes is to suspend a good
hammock in some shady nook, and then with
an interesting book spend an hour or so at a
time in it, and for the time being become
oblivious of “heated terms," “warm spells,”
etc. This is a very rational and enjoyable as
well as comfortable way 'of taking things
easy, but then the one thing most requisite is
a thoroughly good and stout hammock, and
we think the UNION Wan Hamiooxdurniah-
ed by Messrs. Bradford dz Anthony of Boe-
ton, ‘nnd manufactured by the Union Ham-
mock Co. of Gloucuter, Mesa, are about the
beat to be found in the market. It gives a place
a cheerful look and an air of comfort to see
handsome, serviceable hammocks here mid
there about the grounds.
