Jogues,  Isaac,  a  French  missionary,  was  bom
at  Orleans,  Jan.  10,  1607 ;  killed  at  Caughna-
waga,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  18, 1646.  He  became  a  Jesuit
at  Rouen  in  1624 ;  was  ordained  in  1G36 ;  and,  at
his  own  request,  was  immediately  sent  to  Can-
ada. He  was  a  most  earnest  missionary  among
the  Indians  on  both  sides  of  the  Lakes.  Caught,
tortured,  and  made  a  slave  by  the  Mohawks,  he
remained  with  them  until  1643,  when  he  escaped
to  Albany,  and  was  taken  to  Mauhattan.  Re-
turning to  Europe,  he  was  shipwrecked  on  the
English  coast.  He  returned  to  Can-ida  in  1646,
where  he  concluded  a  treaty  between  the  French
and  the  Mohawks.  Visiting  Lake  George,  he
named  it  St.  Sacrament,  and,  descending  the
Hudson  River  to  Albany,  he  went  among  the
