and a few weeks since, his health gave
way under the pressure. His condition
at one time was alarming, but he rallied,
and it was hoped he had passed the point
ofgreatest danger but relapse followed.
Our townsman, DR.. $. W. Thayer. visited
him a week ago, and found him laboring
under degree of nervous prostration
which gave little hope of recovery. His
medical attendants finally pronounced his
disease to be water on the brain. For
several days past there has been no hopes
Of his reviving, and this morning ut four

Governor Washburn was man of
marked character. Perhaps his most no.
ticeable characteristic was his strong will.
Obstacles which would have dauntcd
most men, only stimulated him to action.
He was man Of great Independence
While not above asking and carefully
weighing advice from others, on points of
doubt or difficulty, his decisions were al
ways his own, and once made were ad-
hered to with singular tenacity. 1t was
this characteristic, in which he resembled
the late Secretary Stanton, which at the
risk Of temporary unpopularity, enabled
him to 90 right through and over the many
perplexing questions arising between
towns and districts in the allotment of
quotas and enlistment of troops in the
war, and made him, in great measure, so
valuable a public servant in that time Of
need. He was man.of spotless integri-
ty, of immense industry, neglectng moth
ing which he accepted as duty. YER
mont, and especially her soldiers and her
record in the war, were his pride, and
anything which affected the great educa-
tional and material interests of the State
could always command his interest. He
was good friend and good hater, an
able lawyer, an earnest and forciblc pub
lie speaker a man of courteous manners
and dignifed presence Gov. Washburn
was twice married His first wife was
Miss Almira Ferris, of Swanton, sister of
Hon. V. s. Ferris of that place none of
the children by this marriage are living
His second wife was Miss Amira Hop
kins of Glen's Falls, n. Y, who with
three children, now survives him.
The State loses in his death IL good

citizen, the University a careful guardian
of its interests; his family kind husband

And tho song ceased not with the day.

Then Mrs. Warren said, in voice
choked with emotion
"Forgive me, my boy, for tempting you
to violate your conscience Would that
all young men would show as high sense
of duty"
Every one of the family put down their
wine untasted.
"The boy is right said Mr.. Warren.
drinking wine leads to deeper potations.
We have done wrong in setting such an
example before our children. Here,
Ellen" he called to the servant "take
away this decanter."
And as the table was cleared of the
wine and glasses, Mr.. Warren said solemn
ly:
"Now here in the presence Of you all,
| make solemn vow never to have any
more wine on my table, or drink it my
self as beverage; and may my influence
and precepts be as binding on my children
as the request of this boys mother to
him."

ave will, father" was the response.
This pledge was never broken by any
of the family, and never did Alfred Har-
ris have cause to regret that he resisted
the temptation to drink one glass of
wine.
Years afterward when he was Il pros
porous and worthy merchant, and sweet
Jessie Warren was his wife, they often
spoke of the consequence which might
have followed, had he yielded to that one
temptation; and Jessie tries to impress
as firm principles upon the minds of her
children, as her husbands mother instilled
into the heart OF her boy.

after the people of the North and South

reminiscence which shows Sambo's ma

frontier, bright-looking negro, who was
thus addressed by one of the eminent
persons usually found in such resorts;
II s'pose you're runaway slave" said
one, looking sharply at the newcomer.
Feeling that he was pretty well away
from bondage, the darkey responded that
he was.
"Ah, indeed; well, wc'rc glad Of it ;

"Ccrtainly," said the darkey, with
pride "Same clothes as my master"

An ISLAND RoAAscK.-The opening Of

An ISLAND RoAAscK.-The opening Of
the Midland railroad furnishes the 0swego
Commercial Advertiser an opportunity to
revive the story of the Frenchman's Is
land. The island is in Oneida Lake, and
contains twcnty-eight acres. The story
is one Of the most romantic ever written.
During the French revolution of 1893,
when the French nobility were compelled
to seek safety in fight, and the trains Of
exiles to this country were crowded with
dukes and princes of the blood, the Count
st. Hillery, young Frcnchman, and his
beautiful and accomplished wife, daugh-
ter Of the noble house Of fClermont, landed
upon our shores, Following the train Of
emigrants westward, they reached Oneida
lake, then on the great thoroughfare oftrav-
el.and attractedby the beautiful island and
its primitive forests, they landed upon it,
and concluded to make il their home.
Here in the deep solitude Of nature, they
enjoyed for many months perfect peace
and quictude Their place of residence
was at length discovered by Chancellor
Livingston, who had formerly enjoyed the
hospitality of the lady's family in Paris.
He visited them in their rural home, and
after spending a short time with them he
prevailed upon them to return with him
to his mansion upon the Hudson. There
they continued to reside until Bonaparte
had put an end to the reign Of terror and
restored much of the confscated property
to the cxiles Of the revolution, when they
returned to France. Several years after
as Livingstone stood upon the banks Of
the Seine amidst crowd of distinguished
Parisians, to witness the first experiment
of Robert Fulton in steam navigation, he
was recognized by the count, who at once
took him to his residence and treated him
during his stay in Paris as generous
bcnefactor and an honored guest. Lv-
ingston's mansion upon the Hudson, and
the first steamboat of Fulton and Living.
ston were both named in honor of the
ladies family, Clermont.
