kind and too wise to will temper His providence
towards he does the winds to the shorn lambs
but we mourn because one useful to the communi-

character universally the subecto general praise
and compensation, should be snatehed from us in
the very flower of manhood and bloom of health. Mr.
Hlrman, at the time he was attacked with the disease
which SO suddenly hurried him of, was at Manassa

! Imboden's Battery, having borne aasignifeant and
chvalric part In the battle of the 21st Of July He
returned some weeks since to suffer and die amidst
the .endearments of home, and meet the shock of
death where the attention and the of near and
dear friends appeased the physical agonles, whilst

l. Lieut. Harman was q of no ordinary character
Prompt and discerning in his business transactions

his honor. just in his views, firm in his purpose, he
presented at once the elements of good business
man and devoted friend, which drew around him
the favorable regard of all with whom he came in
contact ri ..f fer 4r gvr00

of unaffected sorrow, for the writer knew him well,

a more appropriate end expressive notice will be
prepared; in the meantime the sincere coincidence Of
friend is offered TO the deeply afflicted family ar
his four brothers. between whom and himself an af-
feetion existed tender as that of woman. The
noblest work of God is an honest man. to which STAN

Is Peace to his ashes. s~ Y.
