MARY JANE, the 2d daughter, was one whose smiling face and labors of love will long be re- membered by a large circle of friends. She died very suddenly of small pox, in Febru- ary, 1864.
ALICE married John Merrill of Craftsbury, and went directly West to Columbus City, Iowa. Just before the wedding, Mrs. Laura Hight, the mother, died, leaving her family en- tire. She departed this life in peace, having a hope that entered to that within the vail. The loss of the mother to this family was that, and more-for, with her went home and home-scenes. The father soon broke up house keeping, sold his farm, and the family being mostly grown up, soon began to scatter away. The heart- feeling, under these circumstances, are better illustrated by B. Wallace Hight's beautiful pro- duction, entitled, " My Childhood Home," than by any thing I can write :
MY CHILDHOOD HOME.
My childhood's Home ! that blest retreat, My happy home of yore ;
O, how I love thy precincts sweet,
Where oft I've roved with careless feet-
Bright thoughts of thee with joy I'll greet, Till life's short dream is o'er.
My childhood's home ! my heart still clings With pleasure dear to thee-
Fond memory, recollection brings Of early days and many things That o'er thy scenes of beauty, flings A charm that 's dear to me.
My childhood's home ! I love it well- The dearest spot on earth
Is home-the place where dear friends dwell .
Be it on mount, or in the dell-
The place where fondest hosoms swell,
Is by the firo-side hearth.

ALBANY.
O, how my memory loves to turn And view the past once more : The fires may glow on friendship's nrn As long as life's faint embers burn ; But days once pased can ne'er return, As they once came, of yore.
My early youth and dreams have flown A-down oblivion's stream ; And now life's storms I brave alone- A home no longer is my own- The past to me has lessons shown, Which seemeth like a dream.
As once again I cast my eyes
The scenes of childhood o'er, A thousand sorrowing thoughts arise- That home's the place I dearly prize ; The dearest spot beneath the skies, Can be my home no more.
In future days, when age hath come, And sorrow marred my brow, Perhaps again my feet may roam Around my pleasant childhood's home ; But with time sad'ning change will come To all I cherish now.
Of many things I may not speak- I've thoughts that ne'er can die ; Enough to make the strong heart weak, And life's broad way seem drear and bleak, That bring a paleness to the cheek,
And tears unto the eye.
B. WALLACE HIGHT, Albany.
This production of the pen of B. W. Hight was written when very young, and is the only specimen I have of his poetic effusions. Had I more of them I could at least select. This young man commenced his academical course at the Albany academy, then under the direc- tion of Dr. A. J. Hyde, and pursued and com- pleted his course at Morrisville, Vt .; entered Burlington College in 1859. When the Rebel- lion broke out he enlisted in the 2d Vt. Reg't, and served faithfully to the close of the war .- He was in the first battle of Bull-Run-had his face blistered by the too near approach of a solid shot, and the fragment of a shell partial- ly disabled his arm for the time. He was pro- moted to the lieutenancy, an office which he held when mustered out. On account of inju- ries received in his eyes, he did not re-enter College. He studied law in Burlington, and is now in the practice in Wisconsin.
James Hight went West several years before the war of 1861-5. He enlisted into one of the Iowa regiments-was in several engage- ments with the rebels, and finally wounded badly in the battle of Shilo, and taken prison- er. After suffering in several prisons for want of proper care, he was so far reduced that he |
died a few days after he was exchanged, at An- napolis, Md.
He was a young man of brilliant intellect --- studious and industrious, and yet of modest and retiring habits. He also had some talent at poetry.
A FRAGMENT FROM THE POETRY OF JAMES S. HIGHT.
In the realms of thought
He swept a seraph's wing, and on the heights Of contemplation, where the gems of truth Lie bright and sparkling as the jeweled sands Of rich Golconda-here he loved to roam, And felt that knowledge, too, was with him. Truth And knowledge had a kindred birth and walked The fields of light in sisterly enibrace. He loved the breathings high of Poesy, And o'er the page of genius poured its glance; He hung in deep enchantment. Genius grand Received perpetual incense, and his soul Blended its offerings with the muses' tribute.
Of the remaining children of this family, one daughter is in Massachusetts, and the rest are in Iowa.
JOHN is a lawyer, and has been celebrated as an impromptu speaker and advocate.
Having thus hastily touched upon scenes and characters of interest connected with this, one of the most interesting families raised in this town, the writer will only further add, that the father, after the death of his wife, before referred to, spent most of his time with his children, either in Albany, or in the West, and was found dead in bed in the morning, while stopping with his son-in-law, John Mer- rill, of Columbus City, Iowa, in the fall of 1867, aged about 75 years.
BENJAMIN PEARLE
came into this town from Peacham in the year 1826, and settled on a farm on the river, west of the Center. He lived on this farm until 1834, when he sold out to Dea. M. Darling, of Groton, Vt., and bought a farm where a part of Albany Village now stands. He soon sold out this place, and has since owned sev- eral of the best farms, in different parts of the town.
In 1837 the most sad calamity happened to this family that it falls to our lot to record, in connection with the the history of this town. At this time the family consisted of Mr. P., his wife, 4 children, and a niece of about 12 years. The house they occupied was small, having but one room below, and one out-side door, which was covered by a temporary shed. The family retired to rest at night as usual - The two eldest boys, from 6 to 9 years of age,

slept up stairs, as also did the girl; and the | buried,-the sympathies of the people were two younger children in the trundle-bed in aroused, and displayed themselves in substan- tial aid. The fall from the chamber window, and the terrible anguish of the mother at the loss of her beautiful boys, nearly crushed Mrs. Pearle for a long time. Long weeks of pain and sorrow followed before she could resume the care of her fragment of a family. the same room with their parents. In the midst of the night Mr. P. was awakened by the crackling of fire and smell of smoke. He sprang from the bed and rushed for the door leading to the shed, which, with its surround- ings, were all on fire,-rushing out through. He hoped to be able to extinguish the flames, The eldest of the two surviving children graduated at Burlington, and is no other than Silas H. Pearle, the well known and popular teacher of the State Normal School, at John- son, Vt. Mrs. Pearle died about 2 years ago, leaving two sons and two daughters. Mr. P. still lives, with his son-in-law, George H. Ken- iston, and is a hale, hearty-looking, well-to- do farmer, an exemplary christian, and has filled several responsible offices in town. which up to this time were all out-side of the house. The intense heat through which he passed made it impossible for him to close the door after him, or to return by that way to his room. Once inside of the door, the fire seemed to have been aided by demons. Mrs. P. in the mean-time had left her bed, and babes below, and gone to the chamber, to awaken the children, and in the hurry and fright of the moment, failed to shut the cham- RUFUS B. HOVEY AND BROTHERS ber-door after her. She, as appears, succeed- ed in awakening the girl, but before she could arouse the little boys, the forked flames had so far advanced as to cut off her retreat down stairs ; and, terrible as was the alterna- tive, she was driven to leave the children in bed, to perish, and seek her own safety by flight, or perish in her vain attempts to arouse them. Nearly suffocated with smoke and scorched with fire, she threw herself from the chamber-window to the ground. The lit- tle girl attempted to follow her, but failed to get to the window before the destroying ele- ment had her, and she perished just under the window. The little boys, as afterwards appeared, never awoke so as to leave the bed.
While this awful scene was being enacted up stairs, Mr. P. was active below. When all hopes to extinguish the flames were fled, his thoughts went after the security of his fami- ly : and springing to a window that lighted his room, he smashed it in, and seized the two younger children, together with some of their bedding, and threw them out of the window, and quickly followed them ; putting them be- yond the reach of the fire, he began to look for the fate of the balance of his family. He found his wife beneath the window where she had fallen, stunned and bruised, unable to move without help. But his little boys and the girl ! where were they ? Not a sound was heard-choked and smothered in the smoke, or else, locked fast in sleep, they passed away. Neighbors and friends began to gather around, the living were cared for, and in the morning the ashes of the dead were gathered up and
were the sons of Rufus C. Hovey, of Brook- field. His wife was Polly Kendall. They came to this town about the year 1827, and with them came several of his younger broth- ers, and others soon followed. Among them were Silas, Simeon S., Asahel K., Laura, and Horace N., the youngest. These brothers bought farms on the river-road, which were by them cultivated for a longer or shorter time. The two oldest of these brothers were appointed deacons of the Baptist church, and the three youngest were school-masters in their day, and, as pedagogues, were popular. The youngest, H. N. Hovey, took his academical course at Derby, and entered the ministry in Albany about 1844 or '45.
Several years subsequent to the arrival of the brothers, as above, another of these broth- ers came and settled here. From these broth- ers have arisen a large concourse of descend- ants, the most of whom have left their native town and settled East, South and West.
This family held important offices in town affairs while they resided here. Of them all, not one is left in town, except the widow of R. B. Hovey, and five of their children.
NATIVES OF ALBANY.
Connected with this history of the town is the record of the names of some of her sons, who are now in active life in the various pro- fessions, in different parts of our country.
The first I will mention is Dr. Orin Warren, and his younger brother, Dr. Benj. F. War- ren, brothers, already mentioned in the ac- count of Levi Warren.

ALBANY.
Dr. A. B. Hovey, son of Dea. Silas Hovey, of this town, went into the practice of medi- cine in the West, and has attained great ce- lebrity as a physician, and especially as surgeon. He is now in Tiffin, Ohio.
Dr. Philo. Fairman, of Wolcott, Vt., is the only surviving member of his family, except a half-sister. His father was the only son of John Fairman, Esq., who was among the ear- liest settlers, and lived to a good old age.
Dr. Curtis Bill, son of Dr. Dyer Bill, studied medicine, and went into practice in Tennes- see, some few years ago. When the Rebellion broke out, he, in common with many other northern men, was driven away from his property and business ; but as soon as cir- cumstances would allow, went back, and still remains in practice in that State.
Dr. G. B. Bullard is the only son of Jona- than Bullard, a respectable, retired farmer of this village. Dr. Bullard pursued a thorough course of studies at Newbury Seminary ; stud- ied medicine at St. Johnsbury, and finally settled there.
Dr. A. J. Hyde, son of P. Hyde, Esq., com- menced his academical course at Derby, and finished at Johnson ; attended medical lectures in Burlington, Vt., and in New York City. He went into practice in Hardwick.
Dr. Charles Chamberlin, son of Eli C., Esq., commenced and pursued his academical course at Newbury ; studied medicine with Dr. Scott, of Lyndon, and went into business in Barre, Vermont.
Dr. Daniel Dustin Hanson was the third son of his mother, and she a widow. Of his rise and progress, I only know rumor gives him great celebrity.
This, I think, makes up the list of M. Ds. that are now living and in active life, and, I am not writing their biographies, yet, I leave them to finish the record of their lives, histo- ry, hoping that like Abou Ben Adhem, it may be recorded of them, " that they loved their follow-men."
Among those who chose the legal profession perhaps the name of Willard Rowell, Esq., son of Converse Rowell, should stand at the head. Mr. Rowell was educated at Newbury, and some 18 or 20 years ago went to Califor- nia. He has been engaged in pioneer life most of the time, under the patronage of the government. He is now at home for the first time for 18 years.
John Hight commenced his academical course at the West Albany Academy, then under the tuition of Dr. A. J . Hyde ; pursued his studies in various places, and finally went West, studied law, and went into practice in Iowa.
B. Wallace Hight, brother to John, studied law in Burlington and went West. [See Hight family.]
Josiah Livingston, son of Wheaton Living- ston, is one of 15 children. He studied the sciences and law at Morrisville, and has gone into practice of the legal profession at West Topsham.
Hiram Blaisdell, son of Jonathan Blais- dell, was educated at Newbury ; studied law with Hon. T. P. Redfield, of Montpelier, and Heath, of Plainfield, where he now is.
DR. MOSES CHAMBERLIN,
son of Aaron Chamberlin was one of the earli- est settlers in this town. When his father came into town, Moses was a small boy, and of course, was subjected to the deprivations in . cident to the settlement of a new place. Bat- tling against surrounding circumstances, and improving the golden opportunities that pre- sented themselves, he finally mastered a prac- tical education ; afterward graduated at Mid- dlebury College, and entered the practice of medicine in Jamaica, Vt. Dr. Chamberlin studied medicine with Dr. Atchinson, of Sax- ton River Vill, Vt., and entered the practice, &c. Dr. M. Chamberlin died in 1845, aged about 45 years.
DR. SIMEON R. CORY,
son of Stephen Cory, who was among the ear- ly business men in town, commenced his aca- demical studies at Derby, about the year 1841 or '42. He was remarkable as a young man, for steady habits, industrious, studious, made great proficiency in the sciences, and finally mastered the study of medicine, and entered its practice in East Craftsbury and vicinity, where, it is said, the Doctor has constantly increased his hold upon the affections of his friends, and has added many to the list. He has secured the confidence of the town polit- ically, I think, for I see he has had the honor of representing that ancient and honorable town for two successive terms. The Doctor is now nearly 45. May he long live, a blessing to those who are ready to perish.
DR. GEO. NELSON TENNEY
was the second son of Chester and Pamelia Tenney, born about 1823. He obtained a

thorough common-school education, at the old red school-house. His father died when he was about 11 years of age. When out of school, he labored very hard with his elder brother, now Hon. L P. Tenney. Being of a slender constitution, it was soon apparent that he was not designed to labor on a farm. To complete his education seemed to be the highest ambition of his life. Arrangements were accordingly made, and he commenced and pursued his academical course at Derby, with the intention of entering college at Dartmouth; but failing health prevented .- A short voyage at sea was recommended, and resorted to with good results. His friends ad- vised him to give up his college course and proceed to the study of medicine, which he studied with Dr. Nelson, of Bellingham, Mass. He contracted disease while in the dissecting- room, at the lectures in New York, and died there very suddenly, Nov. 23, 1847, aged about 24 years, beloved and respected by all who knew him.
LONGEVITY.
The following persons have died in town at the advanced age of 85 years or over. Those whose age is supposed to be known, are marked :
Widow Jesse Rogers, 93; Joseph Chamber- lin, 91; Mrs. Eunice Kendall, 93; Mr. Isaac Jenney, over 90; Widow Hand, over 90; Mrs. Joseph Pierce, about 90; Widow Bickford, over 90; David P. Cobb, Mrs. D. P. Cobb, Joshua Johnson, nearly 90; Widow Daniel Skinner, 85; Mr. and Mrs. True, Widow Han- son, Dea. David Hardy, Mrs. D. Hardy, Mrs. Delano, 87; Daniel Lawrence, 87; Widow Enoch Rowell, 85; Widow Aaron Chamber- lin, over 85; Widow Eli Chamberlin, nearly 90, and William Farwell, 87, whose mother died at the advanced age of 112 years, but not in this town.
There are several very aged people still liv- ing in town, remarkable for their vigor of body and mind : Mr. Roger Willis and his wife, both smart. I think Mr. Willis walked about two miles to the store and purchased a dress for his wife, on his 92d birth-day.
Mrs. Lucy Davis, now 86 years old, has planned and woven more rag-carpets, proba- bly, this year past, than any other woman of her age in Vermont. Then there is Mrs. John Fairman, and Aunt Miriam Rowell, her twin sister, now about 86 years old, and yet quite smart; the Widow Lawrence and Widow
Wilcox, as neat and tidy as girls,-besides perhaps, others, to the writer unknown; and yet others, whose labors and infirmities have brought them to their second childhood this side their graves. From the contemplation of scenes of the past, brought up by recalling those old familiar names, we pass to notice the
