Judge Vaa Schaick, who died at Savannah on Wednesday eveuing, was born in this city in 1822, al. though the home of his parents was in Albany. He ro- ceived the rudiments of his education in one of the Public schools of that city and spent a year or mére in one of the private edacational institutions of the Stato capital, When about eighteen years of age he entered the law office of Marcus T, Reynolds, of Albany, a law> yer celebrated for his legal ability and careful training. It was in this office that the deceased gentleman acquired those traits of character and familiarity with the intricacies of the law that in after years proyed-of service to him in the Surrogate’s office of this county, He rose from the position of law student to be a mem. ber of the firm of Reynolds, Van Schaick & Oleott, which conducted a very successful law business during the years that Mr, Van Schaick was connected with tt. About 1850 ex-Chief Justice Greene C. Bronson, who had taken an interest ia the success of the young law- yer, induced him to dissolve this partnership and form a new firm in this city under the title of Van Sehaick & Bronson, the latter being the ‘son of Judge Bronson, The deceased remained a member of this firm until about six years ago, when Surrognte Robert ©, Hutchings was ciected to office, when, on account of his well known ability as alawyer and his evenness ol temper, Mr. Van Schaick was appointed chief clerk | to the Surrogate. He served in that position with marked ability and with such courtesy of manner that he became deservedly popular with the members of the Bur and all with whom business brought him in contact. He secured the anti-Tammapy nomination lust fall for Surrogate, his opponent on the Tammany ticket being Mr, Calvin, Mr. Van Schalck was elected by a majority vf 24,410. On January 1 he entered upon the duties of his office, but his health faiiing him, | | by the advice of his physician, he depurted to Florida, | but too late to stay the ravages of discase, to which be finally succumbed, He leaves a widow, two sons and a daughter to mourn his loss. His remains will arrive onthe steamer General Barnes on Sunday. The tu- neral services will bo held at the Church of the Mes- siab, corner of Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue, on Monday. The remains will alterward be removed to Albany to be depostied in the family plot in the Ru- ral Cemetery. : At the Surrogate’s office the intelligence caused much commotion, the news of a fatal termination being wholly unexpected. * Numbers called tor infor- | mation as to details, but the officer in charge said ho | knew nothing beyond the single announcement that ‘all was over,”” Chief Justice Daly, of the Court of Common Pleas, held a long consultation yesterday morning with the chief clerk of the Surrogate’s Court. By the Revised Statutes the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas tor the time being fills tho vacancy, The duty of appoint. ment devolves apon the Board of Supervisors of the | county. Surrogate Van Schaick held tae vilice tor three mouths only, which gives nine months’ tenure: | ‘to his successor in ‘case the Board of Supervisors do | not make an appointment. \ ‘The ordinary business of the Surrogate's office will | go on im the usual course, but all litigated cases, con- tests of wills, &c., willbe saspended until the new | Surrogate enters upon his duties, Out of respect to the memory of deceased the flags on the City Hall were placed at half-mast yesterday. ‘The following communication was sent by the Mayor to the Board of Aldermen in reference to tne decease | of Surrogate Van Schack :— } Exvcetive Derarteest, Haut, New Yous, April 6, 1876, BOARD OF ALDRAMEN:— painful duty to inform you of the @ Stephen D.
