The death of Stewart Harvey at
| the Danville town farm, noticed last
week, removes a somewhat noted
character from this county. Harvey
was lawyer and a democrat, and
rather worse than the ordinary run.
During the Rebellion he was drafted.
He failed to respond, was arrested
and imprisoned at Windsor for some
time. After the war he went to the
courts with his grievances but never
got either satisfaction or redress. He
was a man of unlimited cheek but
that did not furnish him provender,
and as he was averse to labor he final
ly brought up in the poor house
where he died. He was man of fail
attainments and good presence, and
his naughty bearing, portly figure
and blue, swallow-tail coat and brass
buttons will be remembered by many
who used to frequent the court house
twenty-odd years ago.-Caledoniar.
