native town to the State legislature ; was re-elected in 1837 and again in 1838, and during the last two years was Speaker of the House. In 1836 he was appointed by the Governor and Council, Register of Probate for Stratford County, and con- tinued to hold the position until 1839. In that year he was elected a member of the House of Representatives of the 26th Congress ; two years later was elected to the 27th, serving with distinction as a member of that body from 1839 to 1843. After his retirement from Congress he was called to the Bench where he served continuously until 1859, as a Judge of Com- mon Pleas from 1844 to 1849, of the Supreme Court from 1849 to 1855, and of the Superior Judicial Court from 1855 to his retirement from the Bench.
In 1863 he was complimented by the Democratic party of New Hampshire with a nomination as candidate for Governor, and in 1866 he was supported by the same party as candidate for United States Senator.

in his public life. From the beginning to the close of his career he ever retained the confidence and respect of the people whom he served so long and well. At the age of over three score and ten, ripe in years, rich in honors, he passed away without a stain to mar the fair record. Upon the Bench he never arrogated to himself a superior wisdom ; he gave. to all a patient and courteous hearing ; he made the young practitioner feel that he had " a friend at court," and on the Bench, as in the Bar, he never forgot the amenities due to his professional associates."

attention to other affairs, and he became largely concerned in the lumber trade - one of the most important departments of business in Albany. Dr. JOHN QUACKENBUSH when a boy lived among his books and found his chief diversion in games that called into exercise his ingenuity or his love for fun. At school he easily maintained high rank. His preparatory studies for college were pursued at the Albany Academy, and he entered an advanced class at Williams College, joining the Sophomore class in 1835; the same diligence, love of study and thoughtful manner characterized him in college that marked him at home. While in college he became a member of the "Sigma Phi" society. Of his studies he specially excelled in the Classics, and in the Junior year of his college course he was assigned the honor of delivering the Greek oration. He was honorably graduated at Williams College in 1838. He then commenced the study of Medicine in the office of Dr. Peter Wendell, of Albany, and received his diploma of Doctor of Medicine in 1842 from the Albany Medical College. Dur- ing the period of his medical course he was noted for his earnest and energetic devotion to study. He opened an office at once, after being qualified for practice, and such was the early recognition of his powers that he was soon surrounded by a large circle of patients. It was the habit of close observa- tion of his patients, the critical scrutinizing study of their conditions and symptoms that gave him his unequivocal con- fidence in his diagnosis. In 1855 Dr. QUAOKENBUSH became Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women at the Albany Medical College, where his suavity and tact made him exceed- ingly popular with the students. In 1868 he became President of the Medical Society of the State of New York. He occu- pied the position of Surgeon-General of the State of New York, under the administration of Governor Seymour, for two years during the war of the Rebellion, which made his office arduous and responsible, but he conducted all its affairs with ability and faithfulness. He took occasion during his term of office to visit the theatre of war and to personally inspect the solders' hospitals. He took a lively interest in political matters and was well informed in public affairs.
