about the causes of things. He was gifted, too,
with no inconsiderable manual and mechanical
deXterty and ingenuity. With these qualifica-
tons, combined with great attanments in some
departments, and a thorough love of his profess
sion, he might, and his friends for him might,
well look forward to the time when his position
would be an enviable one.
He was somewhat reserved in his disposition,
and did not have so large a rircle of acquaint-
anceS as many others; but among his intimate
friends he was ever warm-hearted devoted in his
attachments, and at times almost childishly hap
py in doing them unexpected favor His I'M
swerving, indignant honesty, which kept at
distance all sham and pretence, and all persons
not of pure and genuine feeling, and his faithful
devotion to whatever he once undertook, COM
PEELED the highest respect of all.
When the three years troops were called for,
he volunteered his services and pressed for the
position of assistant surgeon in the fist regiment
that left this county. Since his departure with
that regiment, he has never been home; but
sharing in its misfortunes and hardships, he has,
without furough or leave of absence, been con-
staRty with its brave men, unremittingly attend
ing TO their wants, in camp and on the battle
field, by day and by night
He is cut down in the flower of early manhood
before professional honors or social distinctions
could be expected to reach him; but length Of
life could only add TO the affection and respect
in which his memory will be held No ones pat
riotism could be purer, nor faithfulness greater;
and these qualities led him to his noble death.
In him the army will mourn the loss of a sur
geon of unwonted skill and fidelity; his profess
sion, member quite certain to attain distinction
his intimate acquaintances, pure-minded sim
pie hearted, devoted friend. In him, too, we all
gain noble example.

Intelligence to-day received, leaves no doubt
even in the most reluctant minds, of the sad
death of DR.. S. F. Haven, surgeon of the fifteenth
regiment Massachusetts volunteers
Brave, but unfortunate regimentp is the ex-
clamation of all. Ever in the most exposed paths
of danger ever brave ana faithful, ever unfortu-

of its kind-hearted, skillful and emiuently faith

his duties, surrounded by those whose lives he
was enGeavoring 10 proong and save
DR.. Haven was he only child of our highly re-
spected citizen, $ Haven, Esq, the well known
librarian of the Antiquarian society. He gradu-
ated at Cambridge in the year 1852, in the same
class with Major Sidney Willard, who persisted
in the same battle, and with Capt Porter, of the
