Mr. Hopkins remained but a short time in the office of overseer. Why his career was so short, I do not know, but suppose he lacked the necessary severity to suit Colonel Lloyd. Mr. Hopkins was succeeded by Mr. Austin Gore, a man possessing, in an eminent degree, all those traits of character indispensable to what is called a first–rate overseer. Mr. Gore had served Colonel Lloyd, in the capacity of overseer, upon one of the out–farms, and had shown himself worthy of the high station of overseer upon the home or Great House Farm.
