When I left Southington my society had increased so as to more than fill their church, it having doubled in a year. I al

Of his position and prospects at the time of therhaps, do my small mite towards organization and efficiency. I wish I could do more. To will is present with me. Judge Gray, in the remarks from which we have already quoted, says of him:— To those who really knew him, his warmth of feel<

aught him how to comfort one parent with whispered reminiscences of the other. All his tastes, talents, and associations impelled him to the profession of law. Having graduated with honor in 1859, he became a student in the law offices of Horace Gray, Jr., and the late Wilder Dwight, Esq., of Boston. The story of his life at this time is well told in his letters. January 6, 1860. I write this seated in the office of Horace Gray, Jr., where I am engaged in studying law.

He also attended the lectures of Professor Agassiz on Comparative Zoology, and gave much time to the French and Spanish languages. He entered heartily into all the innocent relaxations of college life. When a military company was formed among the students, he showed great alacrity in joining it, and was conspicuous for punctual attendance at drills, and for eagerness to perfect himself in tactics. He had become a member of
