LEGACIES of Dr. PERKINS - We learn
from the Norwich (Conn) Courier, that Dr. ALFRED
E. PERKINS, who died in that city a few days since, besides
various private bequests, left to Yale College for the increase of its
library, $10,000; to the Home Missionary Society, $3,000; to the Bible
Society $1, 000; to the Colonization Society $1,000; and to the Sabbath
Schools of New London County $500. The donation to Yale College is said to
be the largest ever given to that institution by a single individual. We
copy from the Courier the following brief notice of Dr. P's life and
character.

Mrs.
ABIGAIL S. PERKINS, who died on the 1st
inst., in her eightieth year, was formerly a member of the North church
but joined the South church at the time of its formation in 1836. Only two
of the original members of the South church are now living - Mrs. Asa
McFarland and Franklin Evans. Vermont Chronicle, Bellows Falls, Windham Co, VT - May 5th, 1893 Rev. F. T. Perkins -
Rev. FREDERICK T. PERKINS, died in
Burlington, VT, April 2nd. He was born in Sanbornton, N. H., August 15th,
1811, and was in his eighty-third years. He graduated at Yale College in
1839, studied theology in the Yale and Union (N.Y.) Theological
Seminaries, and became pastor of the Congregational church in East
Cambridge, Mass, in 1843, where he remained for eight years. He was the
successful and esteemed pastor of churches in Manchester, Conn., and
Williamsburg, Mass., was subsequently called to the pulpit of the College
street Congregational church in New Haven, Conn, and later, in the
sixties, was for nine years pastor of a large Congregational church in
Galesburg, Ill. His last pastorate was in his boyhood's home, in Tilton,
N. H. after the close of which, about twelve years since, he came to
Burlington to make his home with his son, Professor George H. Perkins of
the University. He continued to preach supplying temporarily vacant
pulpits in St. Johnsbury, Montpelier and this city, preaching occasionally
in many places in Vermont, where his services were in demand and were
always acceptable. His last public duty was performed last New Year's day,
when he preached at Waterbury. His service as a minister of the gospel
exceeded fifty years in duration, and was faithful and fruitful to a high
degree. As a preacher he was earnest, simple in style, yet thoughtful, and
abreast of the thought and discussion of his time. As a pastor he
excelled, his affectionate disposition, quick sympathies, sincerity and
genuine courtesy winning for him the confidence and love of all with whom
he came in contact. He married, in 1842, HARRIET
OLMSTED (daughter of the late Nathaniel Olmsted of New Haven,
Conn.), who died in 1859. Two sons were the fruit of this union, George
H. Perkins of this city, and Frederick L. Perkins, architect,
of Boston, both living. In 1860 he married a sister of his first wife,
Miss ELIZA OLMSTED of New Haven, who
died in 1881. Mr. Perkins last illness was of but a few days, and he was
confined to his bed less than a week. His strength, however failed
steadily, and he passed quietly away, under a general exhaustion of his
powers, in the early morning of the 2nd inst. He had the affectionate
esteem of many friends in our community, who will miss his cheerful smile,
kindly greeting and cordial interest in their welfare. The remains were
taken to New Haven for interment.
