AARON JOHN MILLER, a physician and surgeon in Revolutionary War, m. Esther Burr; d. at Ludlow, November 4, 1838. Was a member of State Legislature. The following quotation from Palmer Journal illustrates the man :- " The first physi- cian in Ludlow was Dr. Aaron John Miller. He was a very tidy sort of man, dis- tinguished for wearing the highest-priced black broadclothi he could find, and always eating molasses instead of butter on his bread, drinking clear tea and a very little old New England, never any water. He was a rapid talker, made liis fever powders of camphor-gum and loaf-sugar, and was never known to hurt his patients with his medicines. He usually walked on his visits to patients, always accom- panied by his little yellow dog. He was intolerant of others' opinions, and empha- sized his own with frequent thrusts of his cane." The following acrostic, written by him, was found among the papers of his son, the late Gordon B. Miller :-
" Great chief, Columbia venerates thy name, Europe with awe proclaims thy deathless fame ; On Asia's plains, where priests adore the sun, Rajalıs and nabobs own great Washington ; Grim Afric's sons, who war eternal wage, Earth's savage nations all revere our sage.

APPENDIX.
Where Philadelphia graces yonder plains, Adorned with laurel our loved hero reigns ; Serene he guides the helm of every State; His skill in war and politics complete.
Illustrious statesman ! thou in virtue's cause Now deign'st to sit, the guardian of our laws ; Graced with the lovely olive branch of peace, Thy praise, O Washington, shall never cease ! On thee this western world have turned their eyes, Ne'er to revert them till thou mount the skies."
From a piece of his entitled " Summer Evening Song of Connecticut River," are culled the following stanzas :-
" Flow on, loved Connecticut, majestic and slow, And mingle thy waters with ocean below ; The god of the sea with his brine-dripping bride Exulting beholds thee still swelling his tide.
" The sun has gone down and the star of the west Is spreading delighted his beams on thy breast, While meek Luna, adorned with aspect serene, To grace with her graces the beautiful scene.
" I was born near thy marge in the year 'forty-nine, And love thee, still love thee and call thee divine ; Not Ganges, nor Avon, nor Egypt's famed Nile, Could ever so sweetly my cares all beguile."
His " Epitaph on Little Bute," a favorite dog of his, is of a different character :-
" Hard was the fate of little Bute ; With hungry wolves he did dispute ; Amid the strife of battle din Received a grip beneath the chin.
" Adieu my brother of the dust ! Those savage whelps are doubly cursed ; With horrid shriek and doleful yell I hear them howling now in Hell."*

OBITUARY.1
Hon. Charles L. Miller, who dropped dead in the Capitol at Washington, on the 3d of Jan- uary, was born in Boston in 1808. but moved to Ludlow when about four years of age. His father was Ithamar Miller, a native of Ludlow and brother of Dea. Joseph Miller of that town, and lived on the farm where Daniel Brewer now lives. Removing from Ludlow when Charles was fifteen years of age, the family settled in the State of New York, but subse- quently moved to Constantine. St. Joseph County, Mich .. where he became a merchant, town clerk, postmaster, and was afterwards elected clerk of the Senate. In 1844 he removed to Colon, and carried on successfully the business of general merchandise. He was elected rep- resentative to the legislature in 1853 and 1854, and in 1856 he was elected Judge of Probate and served four years. In 1860, by invitation of Senator Chandler, he took the place of clerk of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, and during every session since he has been at his post, drawing the text of all the important bills of that Committee. With impaired health he returned to Washington at the beginning of the session, and was at his duties daily. In fifteen minutes after entering the Capitol, on the morning of the 3d, he was found lifeless.
Senator Chandler says of him: He was one of the purest and truest men I have ever met in my life. He was universally beloved, and the removal of such a man as Judge Miller seems to be a public calamity.

ELISHA FULLER was a noted wag. He would perpetrate a joke at any expense. Every one has heard of his story about the pins, which he offered for sale from his store with the assurance that the pin-maker was dead and there was no further chance to buy. Taking up a pair of spectacles once at the Town-house to try them, he averred lie could see a hawk on Wilbraham mountain. Nor would he listen to one word of disparagement of Ludlow. Some one remarking concerning the pov- erty of her soil, he declared that a traveler once lost his horse near the Center, and finding him in a field of corn, was obliged to clear a passage through the stalks with an axe. He once told the wondering auditors that he drove his horse at the time of a shower so fast that he himself kept ahead of the rain, while his dog swam just behind the wagon for a long distance.
