Readers of Down-ing's charming works, and other treatises on landscape gardening, will be familiar with the name of "Medary," the country-seat of Mr. and Mrs. Hairy Ingersoll, near Green Lane Station, of the North Pennsylvania railroad, Philadelphia, and will be sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Ingersoll, which occurred on the 9th of April, he being in his 77th year. Mr. Ingersoll was a member of the old Philadelphia family of that name, but entered the Navy in youth, and as a midshipman took part in the Mexican war, for meritorious services in which he was promoted to a lieutenancy. Many years ago his only son was killed by a railroad accident at Burlington, N. J. Since when, with ample means they have devoted themselves to their beautiful grounds, and the supervision of his farm. In his successful agricultural operations he felt a just pride, while, as already noted, the beautiful home grounds are justly regarded as one of the best specimens of tasteful landscape gardening in America.
