Death of Mr.. Carnochan,

MoRTUUs EST.-Captain WARNER II.
CARNOCHAN died at his residence on Chest
nut street at 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
aged Al years.
WARNER HAYDEN CARNoCHAN was the
Oldest son of the late N. NJ. CARNoCHAN, and
was born in Troy this county February 1910.
He was educated in the public school and
academy of that village. While quite young
he learned carriage trimming, but having a
fondness for the legal profession, he early be-
gan the study of the law, preparing himself
by attending seminary at Andover, n. Y
During the years he was fitting himself
for his profession he taught several terms CT
school, but on reaching the required age-21
years, he was admitted to the bar, having
pursued his studies in the office Judge MER-
CUR. Although never physically strong, and
with many others at first opposed to the war,
after Sumter was fired upon his patriotism
was aroused and he took an active interest in
the great struggle. He was elected and serv-
ed rs Lieutenant in a nine months reg
iment; he was afterwards employed as pay
masters clerk in Florida. In 1864, at the
second invasion Of Pennsylvania, he raised a
company of "emergency men and proceed
ed to Harrisburg. All who were at the state
capitol on that occasion will recall the confu-
sion and dissatisfaction which existed among
the large body of men assembled there, am
ounting almost to revolt, over the PROPOSE
tion to swear the men into the u. S. service
for an indefinite period. Capt. CARNoCHAN
saw that something must be done to stay the
tide or Camp Curtin would be deserted or be-
come the scene of disgraceful mob. Form
ing his company in line he told them that he
considered the situation a very grave one !;
that he should tender his services, and con-
cluded by requesting all who would join him
to take one step forward. The men stood by
him; others followed their example and or
der was soon restored. In the sprng of 1865
he was appointed by Secretary STANTON, a
quarter-master, but the war closed before he
reported for duty.
After the war he resumed his legal practice
at Troy and soon became prominent in his
profession. In 1868 he was elected District
Attorney, and discharged the duties with
marked ability. Six years ago he removed to
InlS pldCC anu CuICISu lllGO WIFI
w. t. DAVIES. HIS career as a lawyer has
been remarkably brilliant one, notwith-
standing he was compelled to battle against
that most insidious and deceptive disease,
consumption, inherited from his parents. BE
was looked up to as a model practitioner, a
thoroughly honest and conscientious man.
His final sickness confined him to his bed
for six months, but he bore the confinement
uncomplainingly and when the final summons
came quietly passed away
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him
And lies down to pleasant Dreams"
Mr.. CAREOCHAN was married in 1865 to
Miss SOPHIA PARSONS, who with four chill
dren mourns the great loss. They have the
sympathy of the entire community. The
death of one of so much ability and promise
will be esteemed public calamity by the peo-
of this county.
Funeral services will be observed at the
house tomorrow morning at 8 O'Clock. At
terwards the remains will be taken to Troy
for burial.
