ted OF the embezzlcment OF Sl50,OO0 by
a general court martial, and sentenced
TO ten years confinement in the Peniten-
tiary. The President accordingly had a
conference with Secretary Belknap and
other gentlemen upon the subject. The
President was, It is understood, moved
to this net OF clOmency by tho belief
that Major Hodge was drawn into the
defdlcaion by tito iutrigues OF others
rather than by any premelitated inten-
ton Of his own to defraud the govern
ment. His trank acknowledgement Of
tue crime and his voluntarily making all
rcparation in his power by surrendering
his private property, aud in which his
wife insisted upon joining him with her
own individual property, excited Tor him
and his family tho sympathy not only oi
officers OF the army, but Of many Others
in prominent public and soeinl positions,
who were acquainted witliall the facts Of
the case. His conduct ut tho trinl in de-
clining to take any technical advantage,
and also his department since his con-
finement, have somewhat contributed to
his liberation. His wife, who is in very
delicate health, and their children made
very earnest appeals 10 the President,
which were not among tho least Of the
efforts in his behnlf ami which strength.
ened the President in his disposition to
extend the pardoning power. Besides
it was considered that Hodge, who, pre-.
vious to tue embezzlGment, had horne n
high character for honesty among his
brother officers, and was respected
among them for his sociH qualities, Ind
already been severely punished by the
stigma attached to him by the sentence
rs much as il lie had served out the ell

ALBERT CuAPMAN.-
DEATH OF Rev. JOSEPH S~rEELE.-It
was with deep feelings of pain hat the
people of this community, last Friday
morning received the sad new of the
death, at Mobile, Ala, of Rev. Joseph
Steele Of this place. He has been in
feeble health for several years, though
quite as well during the last few months
as for some time before. In November
last he went with his wife to spend the
winter with relatives in Mobile, Ala. and
was about TO return home when his death
occurred. Last Thursday evening, while
sitting In his chair end convcrsing, ap-
parontly in his usual health, he died al
most instantly, it is supposed with disease
of the heart. The remains will be brought
here for interment. They are expected
to arrive tomorrow, Wednesday. The
Intelligence comes with its crushing
weight of grief, most Unexpectedly, to the
stricken hearts of his family here.
Mr.. Steele was born in Kingsboro,
Fulton County N. Y, June 9Th 1901.
lie prepared for College at the Academy
in his native town and graduated at
Union College, Schenectady, in 1924. He
studied theology at Auburn Theological
Seminary and graduated from that %institu-
ton in the second class Of its graduates,
in 1927. After leaving the Theological
Seminary he preached one year at Saratoga
and accepted a call to become pastor of
the Castleton Congregational church over
which he presided for twenty-six years.
In 1854 his pastoral relation was dis
solved and he went to Manchester and
became Principal, with Mr.. Durham
associate, Of Burr Seminary. He spent
two years in that position when two Of
his sons were prepared for college ard he
removed to this place where he has since
resided. Here he taught the Addison
County Grammar School one year aud
was one or two years Agent Of the Yer
mont Bible Society. He supplied the
%Hubbardtou Congregational church one
year and since has only occasionally
preached in the surrounding towns. Until
he went South last fall he was for ten or
twelve years Superintendent of the Mid
dlebury Congregational Sunday School,
which under his charge attained to a
very marked degree Of prosperity and
efficiency. He was an active member of
the Corporation of Midd'ebury College
since 1885, thirty seven years.
Mr.. Steele was twice married. His
first wife was Mis- Julia Bacon of Great
Darlington, Mass, with whom he lived
only W years. They had one child
which died. He afterwards married
Miss Harriet &. Hopkins OF Great Bar
-rington, who survives him. by her he
had four children, three sons and one
daughter. The oldest son, named for his
father, died last winter. The other chill
drcu reside in this town. The sons are
graduates of the College. Mr.. Steele was
universally beloved and respected, and
nis decease brings sorrow to every heart
10 this community.
We expect to g We a fuller notice of
the deceased in a subsequent issue.
