DEArn OF Hos. NJ. O. PonrrR -

died ut his residence, last Tuesday. of
pleuri-y and congestion Of the lungs. For
n,re than thirty years he hid been II
resident of Cornwall, interrupted only
by year or two in Mii'llcbury. His
personal relations TO the people of Adj
son County were exceedingly pleasant,
and lns public services were so valuable,
that there is universal regret at his de-
cease. We cannot better express the
estimation in which lie was held by the
people than by giving the following bog-
raphical sketch from the IcraM:
DIR. Porter was born in Tnmouth, Vt
and graduated at Castletun Medical Col
Icgc in 1881, removing soon after to
Cornwall, where he has since taken Il

Town Clerk continuously, save the year
1888, having received % elections. In
1850 he was elected member of the
Constitutional Convention. in 1851 . was
chosen Town Representative, in 1852
elected 10y the Legislature Commissioner
OF the Insane, and IN 1866 chosen
Senator from Addison County, always
d-charging his duties crcditabIy to him
self and accepiab!y TO the pnbc.
Universally respected in Addison
County both as Il physician and citizen
who could i'll be spared from the public
aud active duties Of life, his sudd, n de
cea'c will be regarded in that entire com
munity as a public calamity Ills age
was about sixty years.

supposed 10y them TO be thunder. Mr.
Woodbridge being absent in Washington,
and his partner in the eastern part of the
State, the gentleman in charge of the
office could not inform our reporter the
extent of their loss. The only loss o

student in the Office, who having returned
from the war with the loss of an arm, ha,
ad put the funds he had so nob'y earned
in the securities of the country he hat
helped to save. As the numbers of the
bonds are known, they cannot well lie mad,
available by the thieves, and they ma,
be recovered. The safe was one o
B'gelow & Harly's manufacture, and one
OF the largest in the country, and used II
part as depository of the papers Of tn,
