the Military and Sanitary Agent for this State

the Military and Sanitary Agent for this State
| at Washington. In 1864 he removed to Au-
gusta where he has since tcsidcd He was
elected Representative TO the Legislature of
! 1869 with Dr. Brckett, and with Hon. Joseph
Baker to the Legislature of 1870. He was
prominent candidate for Speaker in the last
named body, ard lacked bat fourteen votes
Of an election.
AS public officer, Col. Farwell was re-
markably prompt, active and efficient. He
was gentleman of high spirit and ambition,
Of generous impulses and of peculiarly sem
sitive nature. The severe public criticism
occasioned by the mode in which some of the
States quotas Of recruits were filled in 1864,
was shared by Col. Farwell and caused to
him feelings of pain akin to anguish-not be-
icism than those of dozen others, but be-
cause of his more lofty and sensitive nature,
and kecner susceptibility TO public opinion
and dread of popular displeasuHe. AS citi-
zen, Col. Farwell was respected and esteemed.
His rare social qualities always made him
welcome companion in any circle of culture,
and his generosity, manifested by lis forgiv-
ing spirit towards those who may have wrong
ed him, ard by his gifts Of money to worthy
objects, and numberless beneyolences 20 the
poor and needy, will keep his memory green
and ever blessed in the hearts of scores of
grateful persons who survive him, and who
nave mourned lis long anl peculiarly sor-
rowful illness. His idolized wife and daugh-
ter have watched over him with heroic deyo-
ton during the past three sad years.
Among the larger sums given by Col. Far
we'll, which serve to attest his bountilul ma
ture, may he named 5000 to the Bowdo;n
Memorial Hall; like sum to the Colby Me-
mortal Hall; $1,000 to the Winthrop Street
Universali>t Church of this city, and $500
TO the South Parish COngreg gational Church
Of this city, Of which he was a member.
The remains will be taken to Farmugton
for intoEment Friday morning. The funeral
services, consisting simply of an assemblage
Of friends, and prayer by Rev. Mr.. Ecob, will
be observed at the residence on State street,

Death Of Col. a. IL. EarWell.

Hon. Alanson b. Farwell, Il citizen widely
known throughout the State, died at his resi-
dence in this city, yesterday at II 80 a. NJ,
aged 40 years. For the last three years Col
Farwell has been an invalid, and obliged to
relinquish all business, both public and private
His pleasant face which used to be so famil-
lar to our citizens, has been seldom seen of
late, and his genial, excellent companiouship,
so interesting and welcome to his friends and
acquaintances, has long been missed. His
illness from its beginning assumed a mental
form, such as caused his friends to have little
hope of his permanent recovery. Since the
summer of 1871 there has been gradual fail
ing of nervous force the best medical skill
proved powerless to resist the progress of the
disease, and his death, which was wholly
painless, came from the final giving way of
the wasted nerve centers. There was no
consciousness, no struggle-the poor, weary,
insufficient body, peacefully fell asleep, and
the mind, so long beclouded, became free and
untrammelled again.
He had beel unable for several days TO rec
ognize, save in very slight degree, even
his dearest friend. For year he has been
pretty closely confined to his house, though
he has taken rides occasionally, and some
months ago was able to walk the streets un'
accompanied. His gradual and constant
sinking into mental and physical incepacity
was mournfully sad to his many friends, who
once knew him as the buoyant, brilliant, gen.
tleman and companion, the active, energetic,
generous-hearted citizen.
Colonel Farwell was born in the town of
Greene, where father and mother and broth
ers and sisters now reside. He was admitted
to the Franklin bar after finishing his law
studies, and settled in Pennington. lie was
elected and served as Assistant Clerk of the
House of Representatives for the years lSi9,
80, '5l and '52. He was elected Clerk of the
House in 1853, and served in that office one
year. He was abide e-camp on the staff of
Governor Hubbard during the years 1850, 81
and '52. He was Secretary of the State
Electoral College in 1852. In 1858 he was
elected Clerk of Courts for the county OF
Franklin, and entered upon the duties of that
office, but resigned in April 1861, and accept
ed chief clerkshp in the bureau of con-
struction Navy Dept, Washington. This posi-
tion he resigned in 1868. He was for time

"Florence Kimball,'' in the New York

"where every prospect p!eases.'
The currant worms of the second generation
are now carrying on vigorous operations,
where fortune favors them, denuding the
bushes with almost surprising rapidity and
spelling eyerybody's appetite for the fruit.
The fact that the first generation was de-
stroyed by the application of hellebore or
other substance deleterious to the species
does not seem to diminish the number or the
foraging capacity of their successors. A pos
tive antidote to the pest, after each genera
tion has got under good headway, is powdered
white hellebore, which kills within few
hours, but renders the fruit unfit for use until
thoroughly washed by rains. Those person
who use hellebore for the second generation
will have to forego the use of their currants
this year, but will save their bushes from the
destruction which is almos. sure to come if
the worm is allowed to utterly destroy the TO-
liage. Prevention, however, is better than
the remedy, and by daily watchtulness and
patience, the eggs can be discovered aud de-
stroyed; or even if they hatch, the tiny worm
can be found and killed before it has gorged
the whole of its native leaf. Eternal vig-
lance is to be the price of good currant bush
es and healthy currants hereafter.
