EZRA JOHNSON.

Ezra Johnson, Esq., was born in Phillipston, (then Gerry,) Massachusetts. His father re- moved to Westminister in this State, and then to Bath, New Hampshire. Mr. Johnson mar- ried early in life, settled in Waterford, Vt., remained there one season only, sold out very advantageously the land he had purchased, and returned to Bath. He then engaged one year in lumbering and rafting on the river St. Lawrence, purchased a farm in Westfield, and

removed to that town in December 1811, lived there several years, and returned to Bath. He resided in that town 3 years, and again return- ed to the Missisco valley, and purchased an ex- cellent tract of land lying on the river about a mile south of North Troy village.

In 1837, he rented his farm and purchased a tavern-stand in Troy village, moved there and kept a public house for several years, very much to the satisfaction of the public and with profit to himself. At this time he was in very easy and independent circumstances, which resulted quite as much from his judg- ment and sagacity in the several purchases and sales he had made, as from his personal industry.

In 1846, he had a son-in-law who had taken a large job in constructing the Vermont Cen- tral Railroad but had not means to perform his contract. The job was supposed to be an advantageous one if it could be completed, Esq. Johnson, in hope of rescuing his son-in- law, ventured into the perilous undertaking, and with two others assumed the contract and undertook to complete the job. The conse- quence was that he and his associates were irretrievably ruined. To raise funds for this undertaking Esq. Johnson had mortgaged his farm and his tavern-stand and contracted other debts. His property was swept away, and in 1848, he was a poor man, with large debts still impending over him. He obtained, in 1849, an appointment in the custom house department as collector at Troy, which afford- ed him an ample salary with but few official duties to discharge, giving him an abundant leisure, which was productive of no advantage to him. In June 1850, after a violent sickness of a few days only, he died at the age of 62 years.

Esq. Johnson was perhaps by nature the most liberally endowed of any man that has ever resided in the Missisco valley. Though he made some mistakes and committed many errors, yet his judgment was sound and saga- cious. His information derived both from books and observation was extensive. His wit was keen and sarcastic. He long held the office of justice of peace, and his decisions were remarkable, not only for a sound dis- crimination of law and facts, but for indepen- dence and impartiality of judgment. Had he been properly trained and directed in early life he might have avoided some errors, and risen to a more prominent and useful station

in society. But after all his life was not pro- ductive of the benefit which might have been expected from his abilities, and the many good qualities which he really possessed.

When he resided in Westfield he made a profession of religion, and united with the Christian society in that town. This doubt- less exercised a salutary influence on him and repressed for a time the germs of evil. But in after life his faith seemed to fade away, and to be succeeded by a general doubt and skep- ticism. As a cause, or as a consequence of this declension, his morals ceased to be as exem- plary as might be expected. By temperament he was naturally indolent. With an active mental organization and an aversion to labor, he was predisposed to love of excitement and especially games of chance, as a relief from the irksomeness of indolence. This introduced him to company and practices which his friends regretted, and his example and influence in his latter years were not favorable to the best interests of society.

DR. DAVID H. BEARD.

Dr. David H. Beard, another noted and somewhat eccentric citizen of Troy, was born in Shelburn Vt. in 1803. In childhood he lost both parents, and without any means of support was left to the charities of the world, and passed through the usual vicissitudes of the life of an orphan boy. He early mani- fested a love of knowledge and a capacity to acquire it, and when quite young commenced the study of medicine. By dint of his exer- tions, he acquired such a knowledge of his profession that he commenced practice in Fairfield, Vt. before he had attained to the age of 21, and married soon after he com- menced business. He resided in Fairfield 4 or 5 years and united with the Congregational church in that place. In 1828, he removed to North Troy and in 1833, removed to Troy village.

Dr. Beard ever had many difficulties and discouragements to encounter, and his life was a life of toil. Commencing without the aid of friends or fortune, he had to rely on his earnings or his credit to support himself and acquire his education, and as he was of a free and generous disposition and never was distinguished for money-saving, he long re- mained in embarrassed circumstances. His constitution was feeble and inclined to pul- monary diseases, and his practice, especially in the winter, subjected him to much bodily

suffering. His restless and aspiring disposi- tion was ever leading him to attempt things difficult to obtain, or entirely beyond his reach. Yet he accomplished much. His tal- ents were respectable, and he was animated by an aspiring ambition, aided by an uncon- querable will, and application to study, and was sustained by a most undoubting confi- dence in himself. He possessed many elements of a good physician : he was fond of his pro- fession, of a sympathizing disposition, and was assiduous in his care and attention to his patients. Although he devoted more time to his professional studies than most physicians in the vicinity, yet his busy mind could not be limited to one object of pursuit. He en- gaged in all the topics of the day, theology, politics, temperance, the Canadian rebellion phrenology, and homeopathy, all in their turn, with many other subjects shared in his attention. In regard to all these disputed points he ever had the most perfect confi- dence in the correctness of his own opinions and sometimes had but little charity for those obtuse mortals who could not take the same view of a subject he did himself. His reputation and success in his profession was respectable. In the commencement of his professional career he had been somewhat no- ted as an advocate of an active treatment of diseases, and the free use of the lancet and po- tent remedies, but in the later years of his life he very much changed his views, and be- came anadvocate of the homeopathic system, almost embracing the opinion that in most cases the less the physician interferes with the recuperative powers of nature, the better it is for the patient.

In the last years of his life afflictions seemed to gather thick around him. He sus- tained a severe bereavement in the loss of two children, one of them a beloved and only son. His health continued to decline, and he be- came convinced it was impossible for him to live and remain exposed to the severe winters of Vermont. In the fall of 1847, his only surviving child, a promising daughter, had an offer of a place as a teacher in a seminary in Georgia. Supposing this to be a favorable opportunity for him to prepare for removal to the South, the father and the daughter con- sented to separate for a time, and she went to the South with the expectation that her father would follow her there the next year. | In the following summer Dr. Beard left a sick

bed to go to Geoogia, in the almost hopeless prospect of recovering his health in a milder climate. He proceeded to a town in the vi- cinity of New York, and whilst visiting with some relatives, and waiting for a packet, his disease increased, and he expired, Oct. 18, 1848. His daughter, whilst in daily expect- ation of again meeting with her father, was shocked by the intelligence of the death of her fond parent. She rather indiscreetly left the South at the commencement of the winter and returned home to her afflicted mother in Troy. But the constitution of the daughter, which was naturally slender, seemed to sus- tain too violent a shock from her afflictions and sudden removals, and changes of climate. Her health was impaired, and late in the Fall she had a violent attack of a fever, and died in December, 1849, leaving her mother a childless and disconsolate widow, the sole sur- vivor of the family.

THE LOST CHILD. BY T. MC KNIGHT ESQ.

Oh how I love the hills of Troy, Her fertile valleys full of joy, Her mountains rich in ore, And gentle river gliding on Through meadows fair to look upon, Then leaping o'er the rocks anon, Makes deafening roar.

And well I love her sons so bold, Iler daughters fair, the young and old And infant at my knee, And old grey· headed men that here In early day have chased the deer Or angled in the waters clear To keep from hunger free.

And think not, though so isolate, They may not well with others mate, Without their narrow valley, In all that smooths life's rugged way Or helps to cheer dark sorrow's day, Or prompts to act for those who may Need aid or sympathy.

Of such kiud acts both hill and dell A story true could easy tell, And anch my purpose now; To call to miud one April morn When son aud sire with staff and horn Aud hurried step and look forlorn Had met on Hovey hill.

And why have oll grey-headed men And beardless boys scarce turned of ten With those in prime of life, All gathered there 'wid falling snow And winds that ever rudely blow Along the high exposed brow Of Troy's famed Eastern hill ?

No startling tale of war's alarms And savage Indians all in arms Led on by Tory's son, Had called for block-house on that hill With sturdy hearts to man it well, Else share the fate that late befell The town of Royalton.

Nor had they come ( else come amiss) In storm of snow and sleet like this

To raise the heavy frame

Nor had they come to play the ball Nor in the ring to gather all And cheer the wrestler in his fall And shout the victor's name.

Nor had they gathered from afar With aetive limbs to pitch the bar- Our customs thus to keep- Nor had they come to hunt the bear Or drive the she-wolf from her lair That from the fold was wont to bear The farmer's fleecy sheep,

Nor had they all at friendship's call Came out to solemn funeral ; As they had often come, But simply this ; a little maid Had from her elder brother strayed And lost herself in forest shade Just as the night came on-

And though a few had ranged the wood And made such search as well they could, Then ranged it o'er again, And often raised the loud halloo And oft the horn they stoutly blew, Tried all the arts that woodmen knew But tried them all in vain :

Meantime the word had swiftly flown To every house throughout the town That "Martin's child was lost "! And ere the faintest streak of dawn Was seen to shine Jay-Peak upon, Off started all both son and sire ; Nor did they count the cost ;

For well the hardy woods-men knew Much must be done, and promptly too, To save, the wanderer ; How children's fear lent fearful speed To those in woods bewildered ; And she, poor child, by fancy led Might wander very far.

In Newport woods as broad and long As Trojan hearts are brave aud strong And ere full search was made Throughout the woods of ever-green Another night might intervene And cold nud hunger close the scene With poor lost Mary Ann.

Poor Mary Anu ! How thick and fast Rushed on the memories of the past Through thy bewildered mind As thy exhausted liinbs gave way And long had gone the light of day And thon iu that lone forest lay, Listening to the moaning wind.

337

TROY.

Did fancies thickly gathering com- Of cheerful fire and cottage home And porringer of milk And kindly Aunt that oft had led Thy weary linibs to trundle-bed And bade theo, when thy prayers were said To gently fall asleep ?

Or did thy memory bear along Remembrance of some childish wrong To little brother done ? Or did'st thou there in sorrow grieve For angry word to relative Whose guardian care had bade thee come And share with her a home?

Or didst thou grieve no father's care Would roam the land and reach thee there With promises of gold And no one to thy rescue come To guide thy wandering footsteps home And thou left there a fearful doom- To perish in the cold,

Poor child could'st thou have known What deep warm feeling stirred the town And kindly sympathy Twould cheer thy heart as there thou lay And waited for the break of day To guide thee on thy stormy way And help to set thee free.

Turn now to where amid the storm The extended line the woods-men form And to the forest turn, Now carefully and swift they trace Each mark the snow could not efface And part the boughs that interlace And form a sort of hiding-place And shelter from the storm ;

Now close they mark each water course And trace each brooklet to its source Fearful lest they should find With midnight darkness all around Misled by water's murmuring sound A watery grave the child had found- Sad thought to feeling mind !

But higher rides the clouded sun And now 'tis past meridian, Yet still the search goes on : Not one of all that gen'rous band For cold or hunger stays his hand

Nor will they cease to search the land Till night or child is found.

Now the night comes on apace And sorrow sits on every face And some let fall a tear ;

Yet still the line they form anew

And still they range the forest through And hope ere night the child to view And happy homewood bear ;

Now faintly on the wind is borne The distant peal of merry horn And then a louder tone, And the gun's deep booming sound Announces that the child is found And soon the word went wide around To gladden many a one.

And now all press around the child With joy so frantic and so wild As scarce could be restrained, Nor could one eye of all that train That marked the spot where she had lain From tears of gladness then refrain And that's their rich reward.

And how all cheered the happy one That chanced the child to liglit upon Amid that forest lone And how he soothed the rising fear And smiling tried her hopes to cheer And gently chid the rising tear, Though all unchecked his own.

And stripped his coat to keep her warm And shield her from the beating storm 'Till he could bear her home, Nor would he suffer any there To help him home his burden bear

That chance had thrown upon his care- So selfish oft in joy we are- But bore her all alone.

And though long years have past and gone Since all these things in Troy were done I've often heard him say, While leaning on his bellows-pole- Adown his cheek the tear would roll-

"He would not barter now away The joy he felt upon that day For all the gold that selfish man Has treasured up since time began."

* Col. Oscar A. Hale, only son of Raymond and Sarah A. Hale, was born in Troy, Orleans County Vt. July 20, 1837. His mother died while he was yet an infant, and his father some time afterwards moved to the town of Chelsea, where he made his residence for several years. Oscar, meanwhile, was attending school, and ere he had attained his majority stepped forth an honored graduate from Dartmouth College. Soon after finishing his studies, he went to Washington, D. C., and for some time was employed in the post-office department, and was one of the first to enlist in defence of our national capital, when first threatened with danger from the rebel horde of the South. In the Fall of 1861, he returned to Troy, soon after enlisted in a company then being recruited to form A part of the 6th Regiment. He took a lively interest in the recruiting and organization of the company, and. possessing a kind and amiable disposition, endearing him to all who made his acquaintance, his company very

naturally selected him as their captain, and he was accordingly mustered in as Capt. of Co. D, 6th Reg., Oct. 15, 1861. During his military career, he evinced much courage and personal bravery, and was several times wounded in combat with the enemy. At the close of the rebellion, he went with Gen. Dana, of Maine, and others, to en- gage in business in South America. He died of cholera at Arroyo de Pavon, Province of Sante Fe, Buenos Ayres Dec. 28, 1867. His friend, Capt. P. D. McMillan, formerly of the 15th Reg., who was with him at the time of his death, in a letter to Col. Elkins, speaks of him as follows. "His last engagement was his hardest, and he met the monster Death, in the form of pestilence, without fear. He died after a sickness of five hours. Upon the Pampas of South America, near the banks of the Parana, beside other friends who had fallen with him, wrapt in his army blankets, the same that had covered him so many times on the tented field, he was buried as became a soldier ; not with martial music and muffled drums, but with a terrible silence, with the footsteps of the destroying angel still around swiftly at work. With a heart bursting with grief, assisted by two surviving friends, whom chance had thrown together from different parts of the globe, we buried hhn who was worthy a better burial." His remains have since been removed to the Protestant Cemetery at Rosarlo, and arrangements have been made for their transportation to the United States, to be placed among the green hills of his native land, beside loved friends.

* He was a brave soldier, and much esteemed by his fellow comrades and all who knew him. Ilis body was returned and buried In the cemetery at North Troy, Vt., wiih military honors.
