aged q years.
The subject Of this notice was we'll and
favoraby known to the people of Montpelier
and vicinity and to a wide circle of young
friends Nth whom he associated during bis
residence here. He came from Rochester Vs.
to this village about three years since, poor
boy almost alone in the world and without
influential friends to aid and cheer him. but
his frank and open countenance, his polite and
afiable manners, were so remarkably manifest
ed on all occasions that his services and soel-
ETY. were sought by the best citizens here
He soon became the first Clerk in the store
Of Capt. A. l.. Carlton, and remained with him
until early last spring when he left with Capt.
Carlton for the seat of war. He was one oil
the noble young heroes who enlisted in Capt
Dllinghams Co. OF the 10Th regiment at the
war meeting in Village Hall in July 1852. AT
this time his health was in a critical state and
his friends demonstrated with him until he re-
luctantly consented to have his name stricken
from the roll OF the Company. He never
seemed contented or satisfied with this but
continued to urge Capt. Carlton to close up
his business here that he might satisfy the
throbbings of his patriot heart in the service
of his beloved country. For the last SIX
months he has been Capt Cartons head CLERK
in tho Commissary Department in the army
of the Potomac. He was confined to his tenn
for sixteen days before his death A large CIR

ward off extreme peril, but simply to bring
this bloody war to a triumphant end by the
