    HOOK-On Tuesday, January 30, at his residence, 15 Boerum place, after a lingering illness, BENJAMIN HOOK, in the 66th year of his age.
    While converse sweet with those we love
    Swells fondly on our ear,
    Such happy hours will oftentimes
    Draw forth a silent tear.
    To bid adieu to those sweet friends
    Who to our souls are dear
    Will cause the heart a bitter pang,
    The eye a silent tear.
    The body will be taken to the church of St. Charles Borromeo, corner of Sidney place and Livingston street, on Thursday, February 1, at ten o'clock A.M. where a solemn requiem mass will be offered for the repose of his soul, and from thence to Greenwood Cemetery for interment. Friends and relatives are invited to attend.
