lad of fourteen gretly inter- ested in the geological then explorations singin his native town He assisted me in ing some of the fossils now in the cabinets of the State University Geological Hall at Albany and accompanied me in my tions of neighboring localities Soon after this time he entered Homer Academy where he re- mained several years Leaving the Academy he commenced the study of medicine first with hia father and afterwards under my tion at Castleton Vt where he distinguished himself among a large of students for his rigid economy and abstemiousness and close application The peculiarities of his mind were apparent in his choice of studies the rature and science of the profession being more attractive to him than those specific studies which ars essential as preparation for its practice He left Vermont before his ture of Wisconsin His first publication the Wisconsin Gazetteer issued in 1853 an tavo volume of 256 pagea the first work of ita kind published here and still valuable as a book of reference The next was the son Almanac and Annual Register a valuable statistical work of 96 pages which had a ral circulation and was regarded as furnishing the most reliable information concerning the political and industrial condition of the State During the same year he visited Toronto treal and Quebec on the occasion of the bration of tho Grand Trunk Railway and wrote for the Argus Democrat a seriea of tive letters over the signature of and the following year another series from the Lake Superior country over the same The latter originally appeared in the kee Wisconsin Loving books with them he furnished hia modest dwelling There you will find the most course but received from valuable geographical and statistical library in ton Medical College the degree of Doctor of the State with nearly everything in standard Medecine and I nest heard of him in literature and much that is carious and rare sin where he arrived in June of 49 He first He loved art too and a few copies of the best settled in Delafield where he experienced the ideala his home Into that homo anxieties and vicissitudes of a physician's life so changed and desolate we will not enter and where some members of this Society first knew and befriended him Dependant upon his own exertions and generous to a fault but for the kindness of those friends whose favors he delighted in acknowledging he could not so soon have risen to a station of responsibility save to leave upon its our memorial garland As brother husband father we know he is mourned there by bruised hearts as many of us bear witness to his unselfishness aad fidelity The disease to which Dr HUM fell 1 victim was and had given him repeated HOG the Cincinnati cor of the Pren has ted one of the Cincinnati slaughter

strides with a hammer having a long landle nnd with this he hits the hog upon the skull One blow is sufficient a faint squeal a shiver and all is over The hog does not fall ic cannot fall he is in by living hogs Sometimes the one blow is not sufficient and the butcher strikes till one can hear the thick skull sinking with a under the soon as he finishes his pen the door is open and heavy villains white yellow and black drag out the yet quivering bodies ut the throats and tumble them in the vat of boiling water It may be the bubbling it may be the agitation caused by the heavy bodies being

Uan in the hope and promise of a happy im- mortality That Dr HUKT was appreciated in the com- munity which he had served in such various was evidenced by the mournful throng which followed his remains to their last resting place High and low rich and poor native and foreign born mingled in that solemn cession Beside the companion of his early youth they laid him down to his long slumber and over hia dust was heard the voices of ers in arms speaking to his ashes and peace to hia seul The Chair appointed Mr Prof CARE and Judge ATWOOD a committee to report suitable resolutions who through their chairman submitted tha tion of which was moved by Prof That we have heard with deep regret tho death of Br of the corporate members ol this society far the past lix iti Recording Secretary and always

fro The windows are darkened and the mirror gives back its images in a light The knocker on the door is muffled and the soft alow atep scarcely scares the cricket en- away from his home beneath the hearth by the nocturnal seeming of everything around The voices of the grate are hushed and the fire burns with a purer and a serener glow The half spoken words strike harshly on the ear and awaken echoes on every hand All ie strange mysterious and awful Death is here JOHN HENT was a remarkable man Few even of his knew him He was reserved and taciturn Attentive to his duties and domestic in his habits he ed but little with tho multitude in places oi public resort Extremely temperate and but little given to pleasures and ments he was seldom seen at the festive board He was eminently reflective and inventive He was ever busy and ever thoughtful No rusl corroded his mental nor the native vigor of his mind Dr Hunt was peculiar His every taste and aspiration was marked with a significant in- Every act whether public or pri production of his one of the many objects of his weightier and his lighter friends whom he chose for fittings of his the gems of art which adorned his ol taste all spoke his idiosyncrasy The objects of his ambition were alike the objects of hit taste Whatever he sought to attain lay beyond pleasant fields which it seemed to him he would like to traverse for the treasures which he could gather on the way If he should fail to accomplish all that his ambition might prompt him to undertake the expanded effort and labors would not prove fruitless sacrifice He gathered as he scoured what he husbanded the harvest before the seed had fallen to the ground or been scattered br the merciless wind The past was fresh aad green to MM No vices had vitiated his memory no half buried wrongs rose up between him and the precious memories which cluster along the pathway of life far back to the spots hallowed by scenes of earlj childhood and the curiously happy days turned them all to hissing serpents whom he moat cherished watched and guarded him to the dark valley mi there left hta only they could go no farther Wr young which bat yesterday he bold In Itii at the altar smoothed the pillow of dying man The eyes In which he had feud agement and sympathy looked in his closed in that sleep which knows no waking Friends whom he had proved in tUb were with him In death and aim tenderly to his last resting place Sad sad this event to her whose lift destinies were linked with his by ties which now bind her spirit world I would not intrude with words of condolence upon the sacred reverie of that widow weeping with her orphaned child beside the fountain where the silver cord has been loosed and the golden bowl been broken Her sorrow is too sacred for the ministrations of human consolation From the wounded heart will go forth an aspiration for that which the world with all its kindness and all its benevolence cannot give She will seek and obtain from a higher source that purer illumination of which human reason is but the reflection Mr second the lutions The resolutions as reported were then un- adopted after which on motion
