from the effects of his wound, he rejoined his regiment in the field ; and, in the fall of 1862, was engaged in North and South Carolina, In 1863, he was commissioned as Lieutenant-Colonel, and assigned to the staff of General Henry N. Negley, and served in that capacity until 1864. He was then ordered to Washington for examination, and was appointed, on account of wounds received in action and gallantry displayed in the field, a Captain in the Veteran Reserve Corps. Ile was immediately assigned to the command of the Monongahela District of Pennsylvania, with head-quarters at Pittsburgh. In September, 1865, he resigned his commission in the army and engaged in the grocery business, in Erie, Pennsylvania, in which trade he continued until February, 1869, when he sold out his interest in the establishment. In April, of the same year, he was appointed Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, by II. C. Rogers, the then Collector. In March, 1872, Mr. Rogers was called to Washington as Deputy Com- missioner of Internal Revenue, and Captain Davis re- ceived the appointment of Collector of Internal Revenue for the Nineteenth District of Pennsylvania, which position he now occupies. Ile was married, in 1865, to Augusta Hlewett, of l'ittsburgh. His has been an eventful life, and throughout its many changes, the honor and integrity which now distinguish him have been its most marked characteristics.
RIGIIT, HION. HENDRICK BRADLEY, Law- yer, was born at Plymouth, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, April 24th, 1808. His ancestors on the paternal side came to this country with William Penn, and settled at Wrightstown, near Burlington, New Jersey, where one of whom was Justice of the Peace under the royal commission, and was a warm supporter of the Society of Friends. ITis mother's maiden name was Hendrick, and she was a descen- dant of one of the earliest Dutch colonists of New York. In 1795, his father removed to Plymouth, and soon became one of its leading citizens. Appreciating the advantages of education, he obtained for him the most thorough training that the locality afforded, and at the proper time secured his entry into Dickinson College, of Carlisle. Upon the completion of his course of studies in that institution, he entered the law office of Judge Conyngham, of Wilkes- barre; and, under the guidance of this able and eminent man, progressed rapidly, and in 1831 was admitted to the bar. For the next decade he was untiring in his devotion to his profession, and rose to eminence among the counsel- lors and practitioners of the Luzerne county bar. He was a gifted orator, and always commanded respectful atten- tion, and in almost every case managed by him his efforts were crowned with entire success, In 1841, at the solici- tation of numerous friends, he accepted a nomination for the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, and was
elected ; and, upon taking his seat in that body, was at .. once recognized and accepted as one of its ablest leaders. In 1842, he was again elected, and during that session filled a number of important positions, among them that of Chairman of the Committee on Canals and Internal Im- provements, Ile was also a member of the Judiciary Committee under Judge Elwell, of Columbia District : in this capacity he labored incessantly for the repeal of the law which provided for the imprisonment of poor debtors, and ultimately achieved success. He also endeavored to procure the abolition of solitary confinement in prison dis- cipline, characterizing it as an inhuman and unnecessary measure. In 1843, he was tendered the nomination of State Senator, but declined that honor, preferring to act in the Lower Branch of the Legislature; accordingly, he was again elected to the House in that year, and at the open- ing of the session was chosen Speaker. In 1844, he was one of the Delegates at Large from Pennsylvania to the Baltimore Convention, which nominated James K. Polk for President. Great excitement prevailed at this time, owing to the agi- tation resulting from the Texas Annexation Question ; and, as the convention was almost equally divided on this ques- tion, a serions and troublous dissension seemed imminent. Under the existing circumstances, the friends of annexation appreciated the vital importance of securing for the chair- manship of the convention one well versed in parliamentary rules, and possessing sufficient tact and courage to enforce their observance in every instance. To this important position he was elected temporarily, and so fully did he satisfy all parties that he was subsequently unanimously elected Permanent Chairman ; and on the adjournment of the convention, which had been in session for nearly a week, he bade the assembled delegates farewell in an ad- dress at once stirring and pathetic, terse and eloquent, filled with wise counsel and loyal appeals. Thenceforward, until 1852, he devoted himself to his professional duties ; but in the latter year the public again demanded his ser- vices, and he was elected to Congress, serving through his term with marked energy and ability. In 1854, he was re-nominated, but suffered defeat at the hands of the " Know Nothing" clement, of whose policy he had always been an uncompromising opponent. Retiring from public life, he desired and determined to pass the remainder of his life in the discharge of his professional duties; this privi- lege, however, was denied him, and in 1861, at the open- ing of the Rebellion, he was again called into the public arena by both political parties of his district, and elected to Congress. Although an ardent Democrat, and consequently attached by the strongest political ties to the State Rights doctrine, when the hour of peril was at hand, he threw aside all sectional feelings and di tinguished himself as an eloquent and unceasing advocate of an undivided Republic. Though opposing all interference with domestic institu- tions, regarding such interference as unadvisable, his influ- ence was ever on the side of the Government, and he gave

one of his sons to battle for the Union cause. Shortly after | the time of the " Big Diamond Swindle," he being at that he had followed his eldest son to a soldier's grave, the ex- time in command of a party of twenty-seven men, who were in the service of William S. Ralston, Presideut of the Bank of California. He next visited South America, upon a pleasure trip, and on his return assumed charge of the Home Department of the Allemania Insurance Company. After continuing for a time in this connection, he removed to Chicago, Illinois, and associated himself with the Mer- cantile Insurance Company. Four months later, he was appointed to his present honorable and highly responsible position as General Agent for the States of Maryland and Pennsylvania. During his residence in California, he was one of five persons who started the Mercantile Director, the largest commercial and mercantile paper upon the Pacific coast. citement regarding " Vallandigham's Peace Resolutions " ensued, and in a speech delivered by him, January 14th, 1863, he replied to these resolutions in eloquent language, filled with fervid loyalty, logical philippics and thrilling earnestness. On this occasion he was universally applauded for his fearless patriotism, and stamped himself as a brave and devoted advocate of right and justice. Retiring from the Thirty-seventh Congress, he again withdrew from poli- tical life, and also from the active duties of the legal pro- fession, desiring to enjoy the fruits of his toils and labors in privacy and strict retirement. Since that time he has given to the public an interesting work, entitled, Historical Sketches of Plymouth, Lucerne County, Pennsylvania-a volume of nearly 500 pages, with twenty-five engravings, containing a biography of the old settlers of Plymouth, por- traying their hardships, their tireless endurance and their many conflicts with the hostile Indians. The book is one of peculiar interest and value, especially to the inhabitants of the valley. Ile has also published a Practical Treatise on Labor, a work embodying the thoughts and observations of a long and varied experience. Ile has ever been an acknowledged friend and advocate of the laborer against the encroachments of capital and political ostracism. De- spite his cxtreme reluctance, he was chosen, in August, IS74, as the Congressional nominee of his party.
MMON, ROBERT ADAMS, Soldier and Ex- plorer, was born in Malaga, Gloucester county, New Jersey, June 9th, 1852. Ile is the son of August and C. W. Ammon ; his great grand- father, Frederick A. Ammon, was at one time Minister to the King of Germany, and his pic- ture, taken at that time, is now in possession of the Ameri- can branch of the family. Robert A. Ammon was educated at the Western University, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the Capital University, at Columbus, Ohio, Of an energetic and roving disposition, he early in life made his way to the far West and joined the Regular army. During his service he was engaged upon much severe duty, and whilst under General Sheridan he was badly wounded at the fight known as the Piegan Massacre, January 23d, 1869. IIe was discharged by order of the War Department, after nine monthy' service as Chief Bugler of the 2d United States Cavalry. After quitting the army, he filled for some time the position of Chief Clerk in the Merchants' Exchange, in San Francisco, California, and subsequently connected himself with the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. The propensity for roving being too strong to enable him to be content in one locality, he next served as Purser on the China mail steamer, and made a trip to the Celestial Kingdom; and upon his return he visited Arizona about
OPPER, NATIIANIEL ALEXANDER, son of William and Hannah Topper, was born in Mil- lersburg, Adams county, Pennsylvania. After receiving his education at the schools of Pitts- burgh and Allegheny, he started in the business of life, and from 1852 to 1856 was variously en- gaged : at one time as Superintendent of a hotel, next as Clerk in a store at Warren, Pennsylvania, and then as Con- tractor for the transportation of the United States Mail from Dubuque to Davenport, Iowa. Ile subsequently placed a line of coaches upon the mail route, and met with most gratifying success. Ile next moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he engaged in numerous commercial speculations, and where good fortune continued to attend his every venture. Here he remained until the inaugura- tion of the Civil War, when he removed to California and interested himself in the many financial operations incident to that country, most of which resulted in his pecuniary benefit. After some time he returned to New York, and engaged successfully in business in that city; from thence he went to Louisville, Kentucky, and remained there four years. Finally, he reached his old home, Pittsburgh, and there settled down in his present business. Ile is proprie- tor of one of the finest club rooms in the country, and his honesty and high social qualities Gender him a general favorite with the large circle of friends whom he has made both at home and abroad.
LARK, EDWARD, Architect of the United States Capitol, was born at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 20th, 1822. Ilis father, James Clark, was a well-known architect of Philadelphia, who designed and built many of the large public buildings in that city. Ilis mother was a Miss Cottman, of the same city.

uncle, Thomas Clark, the well-known editor of classical and mathematical works. He studied architecture and drawing under T. U. Walter, while that gentleman was constructing Girard College. Ile removed with Mr. Walter to Washington in 1851, when he became Assistant Architect to the extension of the Capitol of the United States. IIe was soon afterward made Superintending Architect of the Patent-Office building extension; and in 1855, was made Superintendent of the extension of the General Post-Office building. Ile was continuously engaged on these works until 1865, when, after the resignation of Mr. Walter, he was appointed to succeed that gentleman as Architect of the Capitol, a position which he still holds. He was married, in 1860, to a daughter of IIon. Watson Freeman, who was at that time United States Marshal of Massachusetts, and whose family were among the earliest settlers of Massachu- setts Bay ; and has four children.
EASE, ABRAM PER SEE, M. D., Physician, was born at Massillon, Ohio, September 11th, IS48. Ilis father was born at Aurora, Portage county, Ohio; and his mother at Poughkeepsie, Dutchess county, New York. On the paternal side, he is of Anglo- Saxon extraction; and, on the maternal, of French descent. His early education was acquired in the schools of his native place; at Cleveland, Ohio; and, later, in the Wooster University. At the outbreak of the Rebellion, although but sixteen years of age, he served creditably in the hundred days' service; and, but for his extreme youth, would have continued to serve his country in the Government forces. Subsequently, he was engaged for one year in the Clerk's office of Chenango county, New York, where he was occupied in recording mortgages, and in other incidental employments connected with his position in this department. Leaving that situation, he travelled for a period of twelve months; and, January Ist, ISGS, began to study medicine. ITis course of medical studies he pur- sued and completed under the able tutorship of Professor A. Metz, of Massillon. After attending the customary lectures, studying and reading meanwhile with great assiduity, he graduated at Cleveland, in the session of 1870-'71. When he had received his degree, he became associated in practice and profession with his former pre- ceptor, Professor Metz, continuing with him for more than a year. At the expiration of this time, he removed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he has since secured a large and lucrative practice. Although one of the youngest in the medical fraternity, speaking of him in connection with his ability and prominence as a practitioner, he is already noted for his acquaintance with the more difficult and complicated problems and questions of his vocation, and has won many encomiums from veteran associates by his skilful management of trying and perplexing cases.
Apart from his professional acquirements, he possesses au unusual knowledge of many branches of general literature ; is scholarly and courteous in his deportment ; and always calm, reliant and self-possessed in the chamber of the invalid.

Ilis education was acquired at the Academical Institute, in Belfast, Ireland. Upon the completion of his course of studies, he came to the United States in 1831, and, in his seventeenth year, found occupation in the dry goods business in Philadelphia. At the expiration of three years, he, in 1834, removed to Pittsburgh, where he entered the employ of George R. White. In this position he remained for about seven years.

NOWDEN, REV. EBENEZER HAZARD, Clergyman, named after Ebenezer Ilazard, the first Postmaster-General under the United States Government, was born at Princeton, New Jersey, June 27th, 1799; and, when a child, removed to New Hartford, Oneida county, New York.

Morse, wife of Dr. Jedediah Morse, the geographer, and mother of Professor S. F. B. Morse, the inventor of the magnetic telegraph, and Mrs. Josiah Salisbury, whose daughter was the wife of President Woolsey, of Yale College. In 1814, Ebenezer Snowden entered upon a course of studies at Hamilton College ; and, upon graduating in the class of 1818, delivered at the commencement an English oration which won him many encomiums. Subsequently, he engaged in the study of the law, and, upon the completion of his course, was licensed to practice during the session of the Supreme Court at Utica, New York. Previous to this time, he was deeply exercised on the subject of religion ; ex- perienced a material change in his thoughts and convictions, and finally connected himself with the Presbyterian Church of Sackett's Harbor, his father being then the pastor of that organization. During that season he was strongly inclined to the Gospel ministry, but concluded to suspend his deci- sion, and leave the issue to the progress of his feelings and resolves. Removing to Nashville, Tennessee, he entered upon the active practice of the law ; but, believing himself called to the ministry, he repaired to the Princeton Seminary in order to pursue a course of theological studies. In due time he was licensed by the Presbytery of New York; and a year later, was ordained by the same Presbytery. Subse- quently, he moved to St. Augustine, Florida, where he remained several years, and was installed pastor, being at that time the only Presbyterian minister in East Florida. During his ministry the church edifice was built and occu- pied; and, owing to his indefatigable and ardent exertions, a great revival of religious feeling was inaugurated. On his return from the South, he was installed over the Presby- terian Church of Brownsville, Jefferson county, New York; here also his presence, admonitions and earnest appeals produced their proper effect, and the inclination toward a religious and moral condition was greatly developed in this section of the State. While a member of the Old School Presbyterian Convention of 1837, in Philadelphia, he was invited by the Rev. John Darranse to visit the Presbyterian Church of Kingston, in the Wyoming Valley, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania. Later, he accepted a call from its congregation, and in the fall of 1337, was installed as its spiritual director. He was a Commissioner to the Grand Assembly of 1838, when the New School went out from the Church. A much-needed church edifice was built at Kings- ton, and a revival of religion greatly strengthened the con- gregation. Ilis next place of settlement was Warren, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, where the Church was divided, and where he soon effected a complete reconcilia- tion. Subsequently, he raised a considerable amount of money, to be used for the erection of a new church in Woodstown, New Jersey; but, losing his property and residence by fire, he abandoned the work, leaving to others its erection and completion. Soon after his return to the valley of Wyoming, he preached at Plymouth, where a con- gregation was speedily gathered, a church organized, and a
house of worship built; in the beginning the members were few in number, but in a short time their roll increased to a large and unexpected extent. At present, he is engaged in building up a Presbyterian congregation at Larksville, in the eastern part of Plymouth township, where a neat and con- venient sanctuary has been completed and paid for, on a superb site given for the purpose by the Delaware & Hudson Canal .Company; this church possesses also a large Sabbath- school, and an excellent library.
The corporation name is " The Snowden Memorial Presbyterian Church of Larkes- ville," this name being adopted as commemorative of the fact that it is the third Presbyterian Church erected by his instrumentality in the valley of Wyoming. Ile was married at St. Augustine, Florida, to Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Waters Smith, United States Marshal; and after her death, a second time to Caroline Adams, of Newburgh, New York, a distant relative on the paternal side of John Quincy Adams.

He removed with his parents to Martinsville, Ohio, in 1836. His early education was received at an academy at Wheeling, Virginia, and at the age of eighteen, he entered Franklin College, at Athens, Ohio, where he remained one year. In the fall of 1855, he removed to Oskaloosa, Iowa, and studied law until 1857, with his brother, who was afterward Attorney-General of Iowa, when he went to Albany, New York, and remained a year at the law school of the Albany University; he graduated in 1358, and was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of New York; he then returned to Iowa, and practised law with his brother until the breaking out of the Rebellion, when he enlisted, in July, 1861, as a private in the 7th Iowa Infantry. From a Sergeant, he was promoted, in August, 1861, Major of the same regiment, and was engaged at the battle of Belmont, November 7th, 1861, where he was severely wounded in the right leg, while leading a charge on the lines. He rejoined his com- mand before his wound healed, and was engaged at the battle of Fort Henry, Tennessee, February 6th, 1862, and Fort Donelson, February 15th and 16th, 1862. In the latter battle he was unable to walk, and participated in the charge of the 15th, on his crutches. Thence he proceeded with the Army of the Tennessee to Shiloh, where he was engaged in the actions of April 6th and 7th, 1862. In the meantime, he had been promoted Colonel of his regiment.

In that year he moved to Iowa, and established and was Principal of the Ottumwa Seminary, which he conducted until 1861, when his Alma Mater conferred upon him the honorary de- gree of A. M. In the meantime he was repeatedly elected President of the Public School Board of the city. He also became interested in the mercantile business, which he con- tinued until 1862. Being identified with the Republican party, he became concerned in politics, and, in September, 1862, was appointed by Governor Kirkwood Major of the 36th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and joined the regiment in rendezvous at Keokuk. Ile was detailed on a Board of Court Martial, at St. Louis, Missouri, in October, 1862; served on garrison duty at Fort Pickering, Memphis, Ten- nessee, until January, 1863; also at Fort Curtis, Helena, Arkansas, until February, 1863, when he entered the Thir- teenth Army Corps, under Major- General McClernand, in General Grant's command. Ile was engaged on the Yazoo Pass expedition, and participated in the siege of Vicks- burg until the assault on Fort Pemberton, when he was so severely injured that he was forced to resign his commis- sion, in June, 1863. Ile then returned to Ottumwa, and, from 1863 to 1869, was occupied in speculation in Iowa, Pennsylvania and Kansas. In 1864, he was elected by the Iowa Legislature, in joint session, one of the Regents of the Iowa State University, and filled the trust until 1867.

Corinth, and was engaged in the action at Iuka, September 19th and 20th, 1862, and in the fights at Corinth, October 3d and 4th. During the winter of 1862-'63, he remained at or near Corinth, and was then engaged in garrisoning the railroad from Lagrange to Memphis until September, 1863. During this period he was at times commanding the brigade, and in July and August was commanding the sub-district, with head-quarters at Bethel, Tennessee. The command at this time was the First Brigade, Second Divi- sion of the Sixteenth Army Corps, left wing, commanded by General Dodge. In the fall of 1863, the command moved, vid luka, to Pulaski, Tennessee, and thence to Chattanooga in November, arriving after the battles at that place. He was engaged in garrison at various points during the winter of 1863-'64, and was actively employed in the Atlanta cam- paign in Georgia, from April 27th to September 20, 1864.
