BRYANT Il STRATToN'S MERCANTILE COLLEGE.
We take pleasure in calling attention to
this institution, possessing as it does, so much
genuine merit. The value of a good business
education, cannot be over estimated. The
young man possessing it is in a measure in
dependent, and in position to support him
self, and not obliged TO lean upon the charity
of friends or relatives. The practical method
of giving instruction in this institution. is the
admirable feature. Students count over their
thousands of dollars with as much coolness
as millionaire buy and sell merchandise,
real estate, stocks, &C., with as much suavitv
as our first merchants,-thus conYer.itg the
school room into banking house and corn
exchange, by introducing the actuaIities of
business as well as the abstract theory Of
book keeping. Messrs. Bryant & Station
have been wonderfully successful In intro
ducing this practical method of impartine
instruction, and the large number of stugents
IN attendance at their rooms at the present
time. is ample proof that their efforts are fully
appreciated by the public.

The subject of this notice was little known
out OF the neighborhood in which from the
time OF his birth up to the time of his enlist
ment he had always resided. But where
known ne bore an unblemished character and
was general favorite with the young. Brave
and outspoken, his sympathies were alwavs
for the right. Although his constitution was
very slender, yet when his country called he
was ready to sacrifice all on its altar. Before
the battle he had just arisen from q bed of
sickness-during which his life was despaired
ot-and on the march was so feeble that his
Captain and Lieutenant carried his musket
and knapsack. Offered a place on the sick
list he refused all and pressed on eager to de-
fend his native State. He was killed in a
bayonet charge in the forenoon of the first
days fight.
'For he fell fighting with his face to the foe ::
And fighting he fell"
His funeral sermon will be preached at the

listed from Coudersport, last August. under

The Chaplain of the Hospital in which he died
writing under date of July 20, says: "On
Monday he was cheerful, and took his usual
dinner with a good appetite, but in a moment
or two he said to his neighbor, feel faint,
and before even the nurse could reach him he
fell back on his pillow and breathed his last.
His sudden death apparently confirms the
Surgeons judgment that he had disease of
the heart" He was honest and noble.
