InE LATE Mr.. HARNoN.-We copy the fol-
lowing feeling tribute to the late Consul
Harmon. from the St. Adams Advertiser:
''He was man of exceedingly manly,
genial and generous mould;a true and tena-
clous friend, an open and yet magnani-
nous foe with strong love and relish for
politics the natural warmth of his fine ma
ture always lifted him on its swell high
above the reach of the petty meanness and
cold-blOOded craft Of professional parti-
sanshlp. A noble thought or act always
found IN him an admirer, an alder the dis
tress and misfortune Of others an alleviator,
II his means were equal to the emergency.
An lmpulsiye, kindly spirit, his sunny,
afable, democratic temper secured his per-
mNnent personal popularity as man, how
ever little in these poor days it wins politi-
cal success or influence. He was one of
those natures of which there are not too
many, who, having strong sense, much ten
derness OF feeling, keen zest for the hearth
ness of life, frank and manly face, is al
| ways the life of good fellowship. Those who
4 grew up with him will not soon forget his
welcome presence, his bright smile. his
/ pleasant eye, so easily glowing with glad
ness and mirth or shading with tears. The
death OF a son, who died in 1868, while in
the ranks Of the Vermont Cavalry, and the
subsequent death OF very promising boy,
who was just on the point of entering on
what must have proved a most honorable
career at the West Point Academy, had
somewhat broken the naturally buoyant
spirits of the deceased for several years past
but even when depressed by disease as he
was when we last saw him in ST. Adams
just before went home to die, he still showed
the brightness of the old nature. and W,
choose so rather to think of and remember
hin, as one of the free souls that leave hap
pier souls behind because he has been here
one whose memory it is safe to leave will
THE seasons that ROLL for his was one oil
the true souls that ''glows the same wher,
ever it goes"

Mr.. HARMoN's FUNERAL.-The respect
in which the late Hon. William Harmon
was held by the people of his own town and
county, was eyinced by the large attendance
at his funeral yesterday afternoon, in Shell

the trustees had kindly offered for the exer-
ci,es Of the occasion, was filled with a large

deceased to the church. The casket which
contained the remains was covered with
beautiful wreaths of fragrant flowers, and
was borne into the church by the

furnished the music Of the funeral services,
which was Anthem, Lord, let me know
mine end, and the number of my days, -
l39th hymn, Rock of Ages" and a6sth
hymn, Sun of my soul" The lesson was
read by Mr. Royce and the sermon preached
by Mr.. Anvil, who, in conclusion,
spoke feelingly of him whom they had so long
loved and cherished. lie eulogized Mr..
Harmon as q good citizen, man Of public
spirit, valuable to his town. honest and true
to his friends. and good friend to the
Church1 lie had known him to come
often from his duties across the border to
attend service in Shelburn. lie always
iOHnd him one Of the most attentive
listeners he had ever had, and he had
reason to believe he would have made e
profession Of faith if providcntial circum-
stances had not interfered. God would
now accept him and be trusted would bless
him. Opportunity was given for all to
take last look at the face of the deceased
after which the coffin was taken to the
cemetery just south of the church, where
all that was mortal of William Harmon was
buried by the side of the loved sons who
had preceded him to another world. The
arrangements of the funeral were admir-
ably conducted by Henry n. Newell. assist

DEATH OF WILLIAM HARxoN.-Hon. VIM.
Harmon died at his residence in Shelburn,
at p m. yesterday. Though he had been
dangerously ill for nearly three months, yet
his death was sudden, as he had seemed to
be more comfortable for the past few days.

His last public Office was that of U. S.

was appointed in the fall Of ISL He was
also town clerk of Shelburn for many
years. Mr.. Harmon was a correct business
man, and filed all his public posi-
tons with fidelity, ability and success.
Frank and generous in his nature,
he was as honest a politician as it has been
our fortune to meet. 1t was the common
