We learn Of the death of Peter Com
stock, which occurred at Port Kent n. v,
on Thursday last Mr.. Comstock will be
remembered by many of our elder business
men as having ut one Time had large bust
ness relations in connection with the
Champlain canal, and the first 10 Introduce
passenger boats, known us packets, on the
canal fLom Whitehall to Troy.
Mr.. ComstocK was born in New lIamp-
shire Feb. II, 1907, and was consequently
II years old at the time of his death. When
quite small, he came to New York state, a
poor boy; near where Comstock land
ing is now located, working for a consider
able time for Mr. DAILY, as chore boy.
Being industrious and frugal, he, in the
course of time, accumulated little pro-
pcrty, bought farm, and was married nj
the age of 81, to Miss I.ucy jackson, set
Ting down ms a farmer,
A few years Afterwards he mad the mis-
fortune to have his house burned, by which
he lost heavily, after which hc began to
turn his attention 80 other branches Of
being built, and he entered into the pro-
iect with great vigor, working himself,
upon that grra internal improvement,
which has done SO much towards develop
ing tins northern country. He also built
| the hotel ON the canal at the point
now known as C0mstocl's Landing, which
was named after him, and was the first to
introduce line Of packets passenger
boats on the canal an enterprise which in
those days was considered stupendous.
| Here he accumulated n handsome property,
taking good care ST his own and his wfe's
mother until their deaths, When the great
financial crash Of 1881 came lie was involv,
ed to some extent in the general ruin,
although hc recovered partially and still
continued business. lie bull the Francis
Saltus, the first opposition boat to the great
steamboat monoaoly, and was also concern,
ed in other enterprises.
In 1872 lac served as a soldier, although
| quite young at the time About thirty
years ago he removed to Port Kent, where
he has since resided During this time EC
has been engaged extensively in the lum-
Der and iron business on both the SaranaC
and Ausable rivers, and many internal i'm,
proyemcnts owe their existence to his
energy and enterprise. lie has ever iden,
titled himself with schemes which had foi
their object the development of the re-
sources of the country, and our older citi
2ens will readily recall to mind many in,
stances in which his services in this direc
ton have been invaluable.
For the past six or seven weeks he has
been confined to his bed, but only since
about week ago has he given up the idea
that his life was yet to be spared for years
His first wife died about 80 years ago,a few
years subsequently TO which he married
Eliza Brewster, who survives him and by
whom he had three children, all living. by
his first wife he had five children, four OF
whom are living, Mrs. l. V. Baker, OF
Comstock's Landing, who, with her hus-
band, lives on the old farm at that place
being one, and Mrs. White, of Port Kent
another. So says the Keeseville Republican
His funeral was attended from the resi-
denco of |. " Baker, Esq, at Comstock't
Landing, on Saturday afternoon.

Wednesday, he cannot be nominated at all
The men who are elected rs favorable TO
Mead, Denison, or Wheeler, are all under
stood to be elected upon the implied or cX-
press understanding that, if there is no
choice on the first ballot, they will all, on
the second, cast their votes for the one OF
the three receiving the most votes on the
first ballot even if the plurality is but one,
With this concentration of opposition, and
calling TO mind the canvass OF 1879, ii
would seem that Judge Poland was serv-
ing his last term in Congress. We most
sincerely hope that it is so. We hope to
be able, Thursday morning TO inform our
readers that Dudley G. Dcnison or Judge
Wheeler will represent the second district
in the next Congress. AS much us we
should dislike to see any addition made to
mcdiocrity already in that body, we do not
know but that we should feel like rejoiC.
tsing even over the nomination of Colonel
Mead although he is not the stuff thai
congressman ought to be made of, unless
it might be for the third district. 1t mus
not be inferred from what we have salt
that we do not recognize Judge Poland'
talents, because we do, although we, at thu
same time, believe them to have beel
greatly ovcrratcd. But there is sonethin!
more than talents required to properly re
present the good people of Vermont in tn
Congress of the United States. Talent
and ability are but part of the qualiiica
tions. What the others are every on
knows us we do, and, in any event, it i
too late to name them now, or considc
whether or not Judge Poland posscssc
them 1t is sufficient for lis to say that, i
our Judgment, he has represented POI
tioh of the citizens OF Vermont in Was
inglon long enough. With this simpl
statement we are content, and we trus
that such may be the result of the Whit
River Junction convention, Wednesday.

A Temperance Fact.

II don't like that red nose, and those
blear eyes, and that stupid, downcast
look. You are drunkard. Another
pint, and one pint more; a glass of gin
and water, rum and milk. cider and
pepper, a glass of peppermint, and all
the beastly fluids which drunkards pour
down their throats. 1t is very possible
to conquer if you will but be resolute.
remember man in Staffordshire who
was drunk every day in his life. Every
farthing heearned went to the alehouse.
One evening he staggered home, and
found at a late hour his wife sitting
alone, and drowned in tears. He was
a man not deficient in natural affec.
tions; he appeared to be struck with the
wretchedness OF the woman, and with
some eageln asked her why she vas
crying. I don'tlike to teliyOu, James, ;
she said; but must, must; the truth
is, my children have not touched NOR
sci of anything this blessed day. As
for me, never mind me; l must leave
you to guess how 1t has Jared with me.
But not one morsel of food could l beg
or buy for those children that lie on
that bed before you; and am sure,

ment and fear. He turned it topsy-

great violence, and flinging himself on
his knees, made most solemn and af-
feeling vow to God of repentance and
sobriety.
"From that moment to the day of his
death he drank no fermented liquor,
but confined himself entirely to Tea and
water. never saw so sudden and as
tonishing change. His looks became
healthy, his cottage neat, his children
were clad, his wife was happy; and 20

about not being able to work without
ale, and gin. and cider, and fermented
liquors. Do lions and cart-horses drink
ale? 1t is mere habit. If you have
good, nourishing food, you can do very
well without ale. Nobody works hard
er thau the Yorkshire people, and for
years together there are many York
shire laborers who never taste ale."-
Sydney Smith.
