Gen. Z. B. Chase died at his resi-
dence in this village, Tuesday, Sept
10th, at a quarter before twelve. His
disease was decay of the muscles, hav.
ing commenced its progress as early
as 1860, and continuing by sure
though imperoeptible, degrees to the
hour of his death, first destroying
the hands and arms, then the legs
and back, and at last the muscles
of respiration. In 1863 he was com
PEELED to give up writing, and has
since then employed an amanuensis
In July, 1864, he attended the meet
ing of the stockholders of the Pas
sumpsic railroad, at Newport, which
was the last time he left town. Since
then he has remained at home superin
tending the details of farming an(
other private business, till the summe
of 1866, when the disease had so ia
progressed as to destroy the powe
of lOcOmotion. and confne him con
stantly to the house. During tn
past year he has been perfectly help
less, though enjoying good health
and the possession OF his faculties a
full and complete as in his more activ
days. In all his daily habits he wa
perfectly regular, rising at seven il
the morning, and retiring at nine i
the evening. On the morning of hi
death, in attempting to rise and b
| dressed, the eXertion was oyerpowel
ing, and he sank back upon the bee
J and in three hours, without a struggle
dropped into his last sleep. He wa
} conscious up to the hour of dying, an
transacted the minutia of bushes
with his accustomed accuracy an
J promptness. The night before hi
death he settled with one of his mel
and insisted upon seeing the figure
and the balance struck before he wer
to sleep. During the past two yeal
he has been constant student of tt
Bible, and last spring experienced
change of heart and joined the Co
gregational Church in this villag
} Since then his highest delight hs
} been in the contemplation of the f
ture state, and the relation of man
his Maker. He was especially solici
Gus for those who were without tt
light of the gospel, and last Marc
D gave some $4,000 to the Missional
societies, the most of it to the Foreig
0 and the remainder to the Domest
0 society.-Lyndon Union.
