The memorable Reaper who "has all sea-
sons tor his own" once more has been in
our midst, his spoil this time being young
man of twenty summers, Charley Miller,
son of Nathan w. Miller, UNTIL within a
comparatively short time of Brat,leboro.
For long and weary months this son and
brother wasted away before the cravings
.f,. L. Api, oil lin,
istered to his necessities as best they could,
and she MISUNDERSTOOD the order of Good
Templars with which he was connected,
made his sick chamber not only vernal with
their offerings of choice and fragrant flow
ers, but also with thoughtful and kindly at
| tentons to his oft recurring wants. Like
| the young in general he desired to live if it
could be, and vet when he was informed
| by his weeping mother that there remained
| for him no earthly prospect of recovery he
| bowed to the inevitable with resignation
we could hardly have expected in one so
| young, and for whom life had so many and
| strong attractions.
His funeral was attended on Monday fore
noon the 18th inst. the Rev. ii. Il. Whit
| ing pastor of the Universalist church Off
ciating. Very appropriate and tender were
| the exercises, more especially the well
chosen words of the young clergyman,
whose unaffected sympathies on this and
| former funeral occasions, have gained for
| him in the minds of not a few, just ap-
| probation aud tender regard. The re-
mains we're taken to Bratteboro, the former
residence of the family for interment, on
mail train of Monday.
Two well known townsmen, A. S. Day
| and Daniel Sawyer, are apparently drawing
very near to the end of life's journey the
| complaint of the former being asthmati-
cal consumption, while that of the latter,
| is chronic heart disease, in it's most viru-
| lent form. Their continuance is only a
| question of time, and to all appearance, very
limited at longest.
