Peter Cooper, whe for half a cen- tury has been a prominent character betore the American public, was born in New Yerk, February 12, 179t, His father was a coeper by trade, but during the revolutien had served as a iseutenant with some dis- tinction. Peter Cooper's early life was ahardene. His tather was un- successful in business and the boy received a peor education, his entire schoeling consisting of a half day's attendance daily for a year. At he was apprenticed to a coach maker and served his time with such suc- cess that his master offered to start him in business, which effer, how- ever, was declined. After following his trade fer some time Ceoper en- gaged im small manufactures of one when he beganthe manufacture of glue, in which he centinued for fifty years, Early appreciating the opportuni- ties et the ceuntry for the manufac- ture of iron, he, in 1830, started ¢x- tensive works near Baltimere. He next built a relling and wire mill in New York, which he afterwards re- moved to Trenton, N. J. While in Baltimore he built the first locomo- tive emgine ever made in this ceun- try, which was successtully used on the Baltimore and Ohio road. He alseimvested largely telegraph building and extensien. He served inthe New York common council, in ton aqueduct preject. ! the edecatien of the industrial classes | and, while he was a member ef the | lost. board of education, he felt that it was not within the power ef that body to meet the requirements ef the ;case. He therefore decided to pre- i vide his ideal school himselt, and in To the tarmers et Bates ceuaty; Thave secured a limited amount of unported Rusian Flax seed, which 1 am autherized to loan en fair and living terms.

DETAILS OF HIS SICKNESS. Dr. Huli has issued a corrected statement of Cooper’s illness. He says Cooper had been troubled with a sore throat fer some weeks, but otherwise was in fair health. Sun- day revealed pneumonia, and yes- terday the symtoms became worse, leaving no hope ot recovery. Forty-three members ef the Penn- sylvania commandery of the military order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, under command of Majer General Hancock, visited New York commandery at Delmon- ico’s to-night. Before the banquet a committee drafted resolutions of regret at the death of Peter Cooper. Current Topics. After all the misery and suffering that fill the pages ef history written by the many explorers who have wandered in the frozen wastes et the Artic ocean, the ice-locked myste- ot fascination than terror to those | who have managed te escape with their lives trom their efforts to pierce this vast unknown.
