wound received at the hattie of Mechanics
vile, June 26:h, 1862. Mr.. WILLIAM A
WApDLE. aged 81 years.
The deceased was a member of the Fay-
ettevi!ls Guards, Col. Turner'S LIST Tennessee
regiment. He possessed genus of a high or
der, a kind and affectionate heart, AMI a mol
est and sensitive nature, which inclined him
rather to avoid than to seek nosoriety in the
world. With pleasant and attractive man.
ners and the highe,t capacity for the enjoy
ments of social life, we find him habituaily
retired, contented to derive his chief enjoy
ments from bis home, his books, and the so-
ciety Of his friends, who always felt and ex-
pressed for him the warme-t attachment, and
who alone can appreciate his worth.
War was not the natural element of his
mimi, but though mild and retiring in bis
nature, we find him fully alive To the obliga-
tons of patriotism. and the true metal of
the man rung out clear and uneqhivocal
when, from a sense of Cusy alone, be volun-
tariy stood out on the arena with boli and
faithful heart.
Here, then, is the point from which to view
the character of the deceased. Ii ID he faults?
Who has not? The generous mind will view
them dimly in the distance, while his noble
qualities, and the virtue VIII ch prompted the
modest citizen to risk his life in the cause Of

lenge admiration.

mourn his death. May they all, when life's
troubles aud trials are ended, meet him in
hat brighter world where parting is no more.

1894, and he is consequently six
Ity-four years old. His father was
a small farmer there, and was
known as a good "player" in the
wrestling matches Of his neighbor-
hood. This patriarch had four
sons besides Abraham, namely,
James, Robert, George and Will
liam Cam, all whom were good
wrestIers, though none attained
the position of their brother. Ear
| ly in life, when Cam first showed
indications Of that marvellous dex,
terity and strength which after
wards distinguished him, he was
taken in hand by the well known
Nv. Wreford, Esq, of Claunboro,
who became his patron and backed
ihimin the principal matches. The
|countenancc which, all through
his career. herec eived from gentle
tmen of this stamp, is in itself a
sufficient testimony to the excel
'lence Of his character, one of the
leading traits Of which is his
funblemisled honesty: When he
played his celebrated match with
Polkinghorn, at Davenport, Sep
Itember, 1926, for 1000 a side,
IAN extra hacker offered Cam a
/ bride, cf f500 to lose one fall out
Of three Abraham, however, re-
piled that the only way his back
was to be had was by throwing
hims Once more, in his match
with Carney, the iIrishman, a

Gl 900 to lose, but he got NO bet

: had no chance; but Polkinghorn
was an enormous Cornishman,

: ing 220 lbs. He was champion
!. of Cornwall, but had to succumt
! to the stout little Devon man, who
was only. 5 -feetisa inches in
height, and weighed only l75lbs
In the great match between these
athletes the giant took his an

himround, the ring. "And what1

Nor did he; forere he could rid

the powerful leg of Abraham was

Of a wrestler, tremendously

with legs and arms of amazing

that if he seized a man by the
