(9.) Carlos Hilton Gould, son of Elias and Sally Gould, worked with his father at tanning of leather and at farming un- til 17 or more years of age : attended the summer and winter schools of that period, which, with one quarter at Pembroke academy and one quarter at a select school in this town, constituted the sum total of his school- ing. He was fond of hunting, and would leave any pleasure for it, and, with the old English fowling-piece carried in the Revolutionary war by his grandfather, would roam the woods in search of game. He has still in his possession the old powder-horn used by his grand- father. In its bottom, on a piece of paper, is this in- scription : "Newbury December ye 1766. Elias Gould his horn." After leaving his father's he was engaged in store and tavern for two or three years; he then, being in delicate health, as he had been from boyhood, went to Boston, where he remained a short time, and then to Cincinnati, where he has since resided, with the exception of ten years in Clermont county, near Cincin- nati. Arriving at Cincinnati after a journey of two weeks, and among strangers, he found his letter of recommendation, signed by Judge Darling, Rev. Jacob Scales, Artemas Rogers, and Page Eaton, valuable to him in obtaining employment. For upwards of thirty years he has been the senior partner in the firm of Gould, Pearce & Co., manufacturers and dealers in cot- ton goods. For many years he has been one of the ac- tive men in the business and public affairs of Cincin- nati ; has contributed papers to the press upon city government, schools, manufacturing, commerce, &c .; has for many years been an active worker in the various religious and benevolent institutions of the city ; has been an elder in one of its largest Protestant churches for nearly a quarter of a century ; president of the Cin- cinnati Union Bethel Board; an active worker in the School Board and in the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion ; and was president of the Committee of Safety, an organization for the improvement of the city govern- ment and for the protection of tax-payers. Mr. Gould is also an inventor. April 30, 1867, he received a patent for an "Improved Steam Boiler." The Scien- tific American, a very high authority, said "it com- bines all the good qualities of the best boilers in use," and is valuable in its combinations. Mr. Gould md.,

The following copy of proceedings of the district court of Los Angeles will interest the friends of the deceased and of his father's family in this city and vicinity :
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY CLERK, LOS ANGELES CO., CAL. LOS ANGELES, CAL., - 1876. C. H. GOULD, EsQ. :
SIR : By order of the Hon. Y. Sepulveda, District Judge of the Seventeenth Judicial District of the state of California, I inclose to you the proceedings of said district court, had on the occasion of the death of Charles W. Gould, late deputy county clerk, and auditor of the county of Los Angeles.
I remain, dear sir, yours respectfully,
A. W. POTTS, County Clerk.
By E. H. OWEN, Deputy.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
At 10 o'clock this morning, on the opening of the district court, Colonel J. G. Howard, representing the bar of Los An- geles, arose and read the following lines of respect to Charles W. Gould :
The bar of Los Angeles feel it a duty to formally express their regard for an officer of the court, just deceased.
Brought in incessant contact with Charley Gould for the past six years, they learned his merits. In charge of a depart- ment of annoying complications, he never manifested impa- tience, or petulance, or discourtesy. They ever found him ur- bane, and ready for any labor, however exhausting. They bear willing testimony to his marked competency, his thorough apti- tude, and familiarity with every detail. He was a man of pure instincts. His accomplishments were not clerical alone. He was a ripe scholar. Unassuming, yet firm, his uniform cour- tesy and kindness of heart created about him an atmosphere of friendships. He had no enemy among the bar.
As a manifestation of our esteem, we respectfully ask the court. probably his warmest friend, that this brief expression of our regard be spread upon the court minutes, with the re- quest that the clerk of the court transmit copies of the same to

his surviving father and mourning relict, and that the court adjourn in evidence of our sorrow.
Hon. Ygnacio Sepulveda, the presiding judge, responded to Colonel Howard's request, as follows :
GENTLEMEN OF THE BAR : I deplore most profoundly the death of Charles W. Gould. In the two courts in which it has been my lot to preside for over six years, I have had daily op- portunities to appreciate his sterling worth, the infinite kind- ness of his heart, his fine abilities, and his conscientious attach- ment to duty. This tribunal has lost by his death one of its most efficient arms in the discharge of its functions.
In deep sympathy with the universal sorrow, as a tribute to his memory and as a lasting testimony of our affectionate re- membrance, it is ordered that the proceedings of this day be entered of record here, and that this court do now adjourn until Wednesday, the 7th inst., at 9 A. M.
