INTERESTING History OF AN ADvENTURER
TO CALIFORNIA New York citizen hav-
ing capital Of $4,000, managed to make
q kind OF living With it in Wall street, BY
shaving. Smitten with the California fever,
he purchased one OF the vessels sold by the
United States Government by auction, al
the termination Of the Mexican war. 1t
was . brig, for which be paid $500. He
bought wines and other liquors with the
balance Of his cash, just leaving $500 TO
pay bis e. pensss, by The lsthmus route, TO
San Francisco. His all was thus risked up
onthe die. The brig being freigh,ed with this
cargo, sailed for the land Of gold; and he ar
rived before her. He sold the cargo at
tremendous profit, 300 or 400 per cent,
and be was offered for the brig So, 5000.
lie refused the offer, because he saw ke
could make money by couple Of trips to
Oregon for lumber, which was then in great
demand al San Francisco. At the end Of
the second voyage he was offered S45, 900
for the brig. lie accepted il; and gather
ing up bis profits on the wines and the lum-
Der, he turned all into gold dust. He re-
turned to New York few days ago in the
Crescent City, and deposited $4,000
worth Of the shining particles in the mint
in Philadelphia, to be coined into eagles and
half eagles. The truth Of this narrative
may be relied on. Fact il often stranger
than fction.-N. Y. Herald.

At SomerviIle, near Boston Mass. on the Goth

Philip E Bradley, formerly of this place.
The subject of this notice, was a native of Will
mingto1, and in his early life exhibited sweet
amiability, and fervant cordality of manner which
knocked directly at the heart. His mental powers
too, were above mediocrity; evincing in their
steady development both vivacity and strength.
and holding out to all those whose name and
fame were linked with his. the bright promise of
an honorable and useful life. But in an evil hour
when as yet his young mind was putting forth
the tender leaves of hope-there came blight, a
chilling frost, and nipped them in the bud. Whilst
vet on the Threshold of our own beloved Univer-
sity, Just eirding himself for the generous and
honorable race, disease, in most awful form,
stood before him aud summoned him away from
all that was dear to his youth. -
His friends and the companions of bis buyhood
cannot but mourn, when they remember his viz
tues, his sufferings, and his patient christian re-
signation but at the same time. they rejoice IN
the well established hope that, released as be now
is. from life of misery and pain, he will be in
troduced into world of cloudless serenity. and,
into the company of the just made perfect. They
console themselves with the reflection that hay-
ing ca st off q diseased and burdepsome body. be
is now dressed saz Immortality. and that the mind,
the u1epiws~asaiads that scintilIation of Deity.
clouded and eeiipsed as il s6etimes s here 10 its
