DEATH OF DR. MACGOWAN.
Dr. Dale Jerome Macgowan, the oldest foreign resident in Shanghai, and one of the best-known men In Chine, passed away quietly on the morning of the zoth inst, at his residence, Boone Road in ble 79th year. Born on Fall River, Mass, in 1814 he, says the N. C. Daily News, first came to Ningpo as missionary ductor, exactly fifty years ago. During the Civil War in the United States, he served as a surgeon with the others aimies, and made himself much reipscle at Washington. He tetand to Chira in 1865 as the agent of a syndicate that proposed to helld a telegraph Blue to Chion by way of Behring Straits, and from that time made Shanghai bis headquarters. Its wife, who was equally popular with himself, died about 1573, and he was never quite the same man after her death. He leaves only one a daughter, the wife of Sir Chaloner chlid, Alabi ster, whom he had intended soon to rejoin in En girnd. Sir Robert Hart gave him an appointment in the Cost ma In 1879, and he Terved in Shanghai and in Wenchow, at which latter part he bad full scape to parane bis studies
