HOW HE GOT An EAD


The Concord, (N. H. Statesman gives
the following accoun. of remarkable sue
cess in "getting up in the world"
Some people yet remain at the North
End who remember a family low in pc
cuniary circumstances, by the name of
Phalen-more often called Whalen-who
dwelt in an ancient, unpain,ed. one-story
house, standing in the rear Of Main street,
a few rods southeast of Miss MerrilPs
school. The father, 80 near as our rec-
ollection goes, was mason by trade. and
a native of Ireland. Of how many the
family consisted, or how they dwelt here,
we cannot say; but there was son named
James, Of whom our only remembrance is
that he associated with other youths of
corresponding age in that part of the
tows, and was as decent in department
as they. How decent that was is not for
US to declare.
The family moved hence to Boston
about forty-seven years ago, and doubt
less passed out of the minds of those who
knew them here. But We have at distant
intervals heard of the son, and he was
making head in the world. Among his
early labors at Boston was blowing the
organ Of the then only Catholic church
in that city. Afterward he performed
boys work at the Federal street Theatre.
Then be became door-keeper, and next
ticket seller at that famous establishment.
During the time the Bunker Hill Monu-
ment was going up he gave 500 10 aid

CHAT ANOoCA FRIDAY, NOV. ~ letJ.
| This glorious Army is already again on the
march in pursuit OF the flying and pano.sricken enemy
though we are hardly Yet in al the first gray Of the
dawn.
Yesterdays work was even more complete than that
Of the day before.
Everywhere our admirable troops went ahead. often
at the double quick"
They captured bodies Of the enemy in hundreds il
not in thousands.
The aggregate number Of prisoners thus took yes
terday il Is believed is much greater than captures
of men Oh the day before.
The army Of the enemy isfertainly destroyed.
Wherever we reach portions Of the Rebel army in
arms they instantly throw them down and scatter like
frightened sheep leaving all their sragglers by
their large number Of DISCONTINUED who desire TO be
taken in, and their wounded In our hands.
They also in the same abandon their artillery
ammunition and transportation wagons cassons, KNAPP
sacks and every thing that can possibly impede their
fight.
In this way enough more Of their artillery fell into
our hands yesterday to swell the total number Of pieces
taken up TO sixty.
Before our troops stopped for rest for the night their
progress was everywhere lighted by the large fires from
the enemys stores to all descriptions of which they a
Piled the torch to prevent them from falling into our
hands
They also burned all the bridges they had time to fire
before we were upon them in the hope of thus delaying
the mpetuosity of the pursuit
What is now left of Braggs boosted army is but
panic stricken mob, rushing like herd of frightened
buffaloes and apparently perfectly Incapable Of making
any further resistance.
