ELISHA, REV. [426] of Hartford, Conn., had chil. 1187 I ELISHA,8 Rev. (2457) b. at Hartford, Conn., 4 July 1813. The first eleven years of his life were spent in his native city, where he attended school, first in the "Centre District," and afterwards at the Hartford Grammar School, then taught by Mr. Holland, who subsequently became Professor of Languages in Trinity College, in that city. In 1824, he removed with his father's family to Philadelphia, where he pursued his studies for a time at a private academy, kept by the Rev. Mr. Ballantyne. For a short period he was there employed as a sort of clerk in the depositary of the Baptist General Tract Society, and afterwards in a mercantile house in Market street. In 1829, his employee having relinquished his business, he returned to Connecticut, (whither his father had removed a few months previously,) and was employed for a time in the store of a merchant in Bridgeport. Feeling a desire, however, to become acquainted with the printing business, early in the year 1831, he went to Hartford and entered the service of Mr. Philemon Canfield, then publisher of the "Christian Secretary," and proprietor of an extensive bookprinting establishment.

Bolles, he commenced the publishing and editing of the "Northern Courier," afterwards called the "Hartford Courier," a political newspaper. In this business he continued, enlarging the paper with each successive year of its existence, until the autumn of 1839. Previous to this, however, (in March, 1838,) at the request of a large number of the Baptists of Connecticut, he had recommenced the publication of the "Christian Secretary," the Baptist paper of that State, which had been discontinued a few months before by the transfer of its subscription list to another paper in New York. This arrangement was unsatisfactory to the Baptist denomination in Connecticut, and Mr. Cushman was induced to revive the
