! The subject Of this notice was an amiable youn
man, of remarkable intellect and exemplary char
actcr. Surrounded b. large circle of Friends an,
relatives, enjoying the comforts of home. and tn
society of a kind and indugent mother, brother
and sisters, in the bloom Of manhood and vi COR o
health, he enlisted in Capt. Harpster's compan,
and went forth to defend his country. end endur
the prvations and hardships of soldier. Whe
first taken sick he was deeply concerned about hi
spiritual welfare, uniting with the church O
Christ, and placing his trust in Him who "doet
all things WELL" firmly believing that there is n
affliction the love of Christ cannot soothe and a
leviate, no desire that his grace annot supply. II
was beloved and respected by his fellow soldier
and ho was greatly attached to them. The aiiliC
tion of his mother, brothers and sisters cannot
expressed but their grief is rendered less pogna
by the assurance that hc died not only soldier Z
his country, but far more desirable, soldier o
the cross.
The friends feel grateful to Adam Martin, Of Co.
e. for his kind attention to the deceased Will
sick at Bowling Green, and tender their thanks t
Joseph Firestonc, of Fred erick sburg for bringin
