April 10th, at Chesapeake Hospital, Fortress
Monroe, Va Sergeant DANIEL A. HESS, of Co.
II, 55th Reg't P. v, aged u years, months and
days.
Sergeant Hess entered the army in August, 1861,
was with his regiment in South Carolina about
two years and a half In Feb, 1854, he re-enIst-
ed, and having been granted short furlough,
visited his friends
Notwithstanding the strongest attachments
which render life pleasant, he would not forsake
his country in her hour of need; and, bidding his
loved ones adieu, he hastened again to the scenes
of danger and death. He was ever at his post;
when duty called he was always ready.
He was wounded severely at the battle of Cold
Harbor, June Sd, 1864, but returned to the regi-
ment as soon as his wounds would permit. He
received his dcath-wound at the battle of High
Bridge, near Burkeyile, Va, April 7th, by mimic
ball, which, passed through his left arm, entered
the side and lodged in the lungs. He was taken
to the Chesapeake Hospital on the 18th ult, where
every attention was paid to his wants, both spir-
itual and temporal that earthly aid could render.
Though he fell, by q traitors hand, on the very
eve of promotion, and when his prospects, for the
speedy contamination Of his fondest hopes were
the brightest, yet his friends have the assurance
from those who attended him, that: che has been
infinitely advanced from earthly ranks"
His remains were embalmed, brought home, and
deposited beneath the very sod over which he so
often trod, in early years. And though no sculp-
tured urn nor costly monument marks the spot,
yet his memory eU erer be fresh in the hearts Of
those who knew him best. NJ.

Ter of the Universe to remove from our midst
our much esteemed brother operator, John
c. Bowles, in the prime of his manhood and
strength and with the prospect of long and
useful life before him, thus giving us another
warning of the uncertainty of human life and
expectations and as we wish to testify our
respect and esteem for one whom we have all
so well known and highly respected There
fore
ResoEced, That we sincerely condole with
the bereaved parents of our departed friend,
and while we sympathize with their loss, we
trust that he has gone to that better world
"where the wicked cease from troubling and
and the weary are at rest, and that they may
have faith to look up to our Heavenly Father
and say "The Lord gave and the Lord hath
