After his honorable discharge, June 4,
1866, Mr.. Scace returned to Albany and
settled down once again to his business and
social interests. He has resided in the city
ever since. 1t would seem that now, Of all
times, his peace and happiness would have

Mr.. Scace exclaimed enthusiastically in con-
