themes Of theology or political economy.
Few men were more perfectly conversant
with the various schools of philosophical
opinion or were more gifted in expressing
their fallacies or revealing their merits. He
was full Of anecdote and humor. lie had
noble fancy and a rich vein of wit which
was shot through his conversation like gold
through crystal and made it wonderfully
sparkling and facinating.
His great deafness made him monopo-
list of conversation. He could hear but
little, and lAt,erly only by the inlensest
effort. But he always seemed to interpret
the thoughts of his friends and answer
them before they were spoken. Though
debarred from much social intercourse and
from public life by this infrmity, he never
seemed 10 lose his interest in current affairs,
ard he kept himself always in fresh sym
paihy with the world around him.
A few years a.o he lost his only son, a
man of ripe years and winning manners,
rich scholarship and excellent genius
one OF the rare men of the State His
death threw a somber cloud over the last
days of the Old Mans life. 1t disenchant-
ed him of the world. And now that The
two noble men, father and son, sleep side
by side, it disenchants our hearts also some
what from the world they have left.

The Late William G Bradley.

A Montpelier correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal writes an obituary upon the
late WILLIAM G.. BRADLEY of Westmin-
ster, from which we make the following
extract:
Mr.. Bradley belonged to the old school
Of gentlemen, courteous and hospiiable,
and trained 10 the etiquette of the age that
was but one remove from the high tone of
English manners of the Colonial period
No one WHO had taste of his hospitable
mansion will remember It's proprietor with
ought than generous kindness. He spread
no sipted past and gave no COLI comfort
TO his guests, but was eyer on q hospiiable
thoughts intent t" and RECALLED them with
generous reflection. both for the body and
the mind. His good cheer refreshed the
inner and outer man in such equal proper
tons that his hospitality always sai-fed
and delighted its subjects. He was an ac-
eomplished scholar, familiar with the clas-
sizes almost TO the last day of his life. His
library was ich 10 choice books OF which
he had made himself master. so that be
was cul ivaie.i and even learned, in every
department of science. art and literature.
He could quote the Lain classics in his
conversation. or translate them n admir-
able verse or psosr. Horace was the COM

Senator Morton of Indiana.

Ex.Gov. Morton of Indiana, who has
recently taken his seat as Senator from
that State, received on Saturday night
complimentary serenade at the National
Hotel. Several hundred persons assem-
bled in the street, and the spacious parlors
were also ,hronged with Indanians, many
of whom were accompanied by their wives
and daughters. After few airs had been
played by the band, Gov. Morton appear
ed upon the balcony, accompanied by Gen.
Washbarne, who introduced him to the
audience. The Governor spoke in an ell
oquent manner, recapiiulating the service
of Indiana in the recent contest, and con-
GLIDING thus:
"There may be delay in reconstruction.
The good hour may be put off, but it will
not be indefinitely postponed. l have
faith in the destiny of the nation, l be-
iieve that all win yet be well that the
bleeding wounds of our country will yet

the people. 1t was two years ago, on
| pleasant afternoon in the middle of March,
1865. President Lincoln was standing by
my side. Many of you will, perhaps, re-
member the occasion. 1t was three or
four weeks before his untimely death. and
it was af.erward that / remembered that
Booth, with folded arms and upturned
face, leaned against that lamp-post and
gazed calmly upon the man whose murder
he had then contrived. | am permitted to

ted TO disemboded spirits to revisit the
scene of their trials, triumphs and death,
may we hope that this great spirit is now
lowering over the councils of the nation,
and will inspire all hearts with that love
OF liberty, justice and truth by which he
was animated throughout his life."
| Speaker Colfax followed, saying in the
course of his remraks, that he stood upon
" the grand principles of reconstruction
adopted by Congress. When men fought
for their country in her hour of peril
when men, who, in TIE midst of the fires
of secession and rebellion, dared to oppose
the Confedeaacy at the peril of their lives,
and to advocate the cause of the Union
and the fag-to such men, the nation
should guaranty prot eclon, justice and all
their rights. God bless such Union men !"

The DEATH OF THE OLDEST PERSON
IN VERMoNT.--Peter Nassau (colored)
died in Pomfret, Feb. 4th. His age is
not definitely known but is believed by
persons well informed, who have known him
for forty years, to have been upwards of
ITO years. He was undoubtedly the old
est person in the State. He was for thirty
one years town pauper. He had ac-
quired great celebrity on account of bis
vast age, and drew numerous visitors, not
only from this vicinity but from other
States.
