Tho sons minis ter in the places of their fathers, and (hu face:* and voices of long ago aro no longer s. en or hoard within those walls. Col.

On nil quostions he wasdeeidod and unwavering, trim and devoted to tho cause ho espoused. In Mn - arena be was n generous und m.i.ilv ipponont. In the affairs of his country he uns lo u marked degree public spirit ed, and fully alive to the interest und progress of bin cou nf rv. Such u man, in these times, will be missed and the boru vein ant is tho loss to this commu nity of one who, in peaco and war, was ever ready to render an unselfish ser vico. Ill? only '21 years nineo, from a long and woury .onrll >., ho came hack to Iiis homo and people, not with vain regio H and repining*, but to woik and make the most mid best of tho wreck Which tho war hud loft.
