Bon Samuel D. logham, formerly Secretary of the ‘Brossury vpder Gen. Jackson, died at Trenwn, N.J, Yesterdsy, aged eighty-one years. ‘The ancestors of the deceased emigrated to this country Stan early period of our provincial history. His gress grepdtatber , Jonas Irgbam, a pative of Engieed, and one @ the Society of Friends, arrived in New England about the year 1105, wbere be remained with hie family until) 1780, when bis permanent residence was fixed in the county of Bucks, Pennsylvania, on the spot no# occupied Dy bin Cescendant; the eetete, during & period of ove bun- @red yoars, beving never departed from the family. Jeess appes:s to have belonged to that plein aad simple, ‘Dut bercy and strong minded rece, among the pioneers @f the wilderness, whose example hee imparted, not only te chetr immediate dercendacts, but to the community at arge, the charector which bes so bonorably distinguished Pennsylvania, from the period of ber first settlement Uo Dis cesth, Jonatben, hie only son, succeeded to the farm end falling mill of bie father, and become, lik» bim, precica! farmer and clethier. He wes successful in each Pursclt, apd was enabled to make extensive improve- mata op ibe estate. Be filled the offlors of justion and $eigo, ond, ana member of the Colonial Assembly, toox ‘te active part in the contests of that b dy with the pro- ‘poictaries ‘The three sons of Jovatban received the best education the situation of the country at that period afforded; but, at the same time, wore carefully inmuecte! ia their father’s Dustness. Their intellectual activity manifested Maelf im distinct paths Johan, the eldest, became a reil- gious eptbusiast, and wrote largely on speculative theolo gy. His father was am uncompromising sectarian, and contrary to the opinions and wishes of the brothers of Jen, particular y the youngest, the heretical docirines remaulgated in his books were comsidered the proofs of « @isoréered mine, ane were mate the pretext for bis ciose eonGnement in the hospital for lunatics, where be soon ‘@fler died. Jopas, the secon 1 son, discovered a decided tn- elnation towards the exact acienoes. He held that notaing @ught to be considered true, unlese demon titrated ; and bent every effort to overcome the objrctions to this axiom in Whe science of physiology. He cultivaied natural prilo- Sophy with success, was an excellent mathematician and ‘Wes the author of many useful inventiona, in mecbaoics. ‘Mis enthusiesm in the pursuit of bis favorite studies con. tinued unabated to the period of his death, at the ad- vanced age of eighty-two. - Jonathan, the fetber of the subject of this sketch, at ‘an early age, imbibed & stroog presiliction for the study ef languege. With but little assistance ‘rom instructors, he baa succeeded in enabling himweif to read the Greek and Latin classics, when, at about the age of nineteen, occurred. Hie estate was the encamping grownd of General Washington and his troops oa their retreat from Jersey, in 1776, and the balldings were occupied shillmgs ana sixpence tm the pound tor bis certificate. ‘To many of his neighbors, the doctor's politics were any ‘thing bot palatabdie, but bie essatiants were easily silenced by the pungent satire of his burlesque pipdaries, the only to be exiled, when it wae passed, to a seminary In which the only language taught or spoken wae German Re was making rapid progress in the acquisition of thir lapgosge, whem, at (he end of six weeks, the schoo! wa: closed , and, to the scholar’s inflate regret, hie father, do ‘urmined cp one more effort on behalf of the classica, sen' him back to bia Greek and Latin. Before be bad attained bis fourteenth year of age, tho Geath of his exocelient father seemed to close forever bis course of clagsical studies. By this unhappy event the eeverai branches of the doctor's extensive concerns were interrupted and deranged, and his widow left to contend with the overwheiming care of nine children. Under ‘these circumstances the advice of the experienced and calculating grandfather was adopted, and, with the view to the future improvement of « tite on the estate euftable for a paper mill, the young scholar wae placed under in- dentare with a paper maker; and here we pause for ome ‘moment to render the tribute doe to that sex to whose benign infivecce man owes so much of what Is creditable im his character. The admonitions of his bereaved mother, aided and enforced by an eppeal to hie recollee- tion of the efforta of hie deceased father to qualify btm for ‘an honorable ephere in life, operated upon the feelings of (he young man with the force of magic. In some minds, 0 reflect in to decide, to decide ia to act. Idlences, dissl- pation, visious, even frivetous amusements, were At onde end forever ebandoned, and the eourse immediately edepted which, from that time forward, he iniexibly wereves. .
