The Late BENZ min A. Pettengill.

The Cambridge (Mass.) Chronicle has the fol-
lowing notice of the late Mr.. Pettengill, whose
death we have announced in the proper place;
Thursday last another of our well-known and
honored citizens breathed his last at his residence
No. Columbia street. in the person of Benjamin
A. PettengiA. Esq. Though probably nevera
csnd idate for public honors, and of modest and
retiring disposition, Mr.. Pettengil will be remem-
bered BY hundreds who have learned to honor and
respect in him the true qualities of a man. and
citizen. He was one of the few men to whom
dishonesty in any form would have been inpossi-
BILE, and who reflect by their sterling uprghtness,
honor upon their name long after they have passed
away. Mr.. Pettengil was born in the city of
Augusta, Me- Dec. &c. 1874 When a young
man he removed to Eastport, where he remained
until 1854, at which time he came to Boston and
engaged in canvassng for S. NJ Pettengill & Co.,
the advertising firm. In 1852 he caught the "gold
fever" and migrated to California, where he meet
with some mearure of success, returning in 1857
to this section of the country. In the latter part
of the year he formed partnership with Isaac
8. Pear, in the Howe Spring Bed manufacturing
business. and the firm have continued in business
ever since, building up by their fair dealings,
large trade. The deceased had not been in good
health for the past two years, but for five weeks
only had he been confined to the house. His
trouble was Brights disease of the kidneys. He
leaves widow, but no children.
