HO9f. PALMER E. HAVENS.Among the accomplished lawyers who

graced the bar of Essex county, and leg-islators who attained an enviable reputa-tion at Albany, was Hon. Palmer E. Ha-vens, who was born in Moriah, 1818,worked his way up from poverty, as solarge a per centage of our great men havedone, studied law, and settled in practiceat Essex, where he accumulated a for-tune, and passed his busy and successfullife.

His beautiful home was one of the at-tractions of Essex village, and right hos-pitably entertained were those who wereso fortunate as to be his guests. No at-tention or politeness was too great tolavish upon those whom he invited to hishome.

He wasi a gentleman of accomplishedmanners, and no little of his success wasdue to his genial and warm-hearted man-ner when he mingled with his fellowmen.

He was first elected to the Assembly in1861, and immediately took a high rackin that body on account of bis able, logi-cal and polished speeches, his speedyfamiliarity with parliamentary rules andusages, and his eloquent and fearless de-fense of the Union cause.

Mr. Havens was re-elected to the As-sembly, and in the fall of 1863 was electedto a seat in the State Senate, and at theend of his two years, retired from publiclife. But in the fall of 1886, a committeeof his party waited on him at Essex andinduced him to again enter the Assembly,in order to utilize the influence he hadgained in the Legislature in carrying for-ward measures of local interest in Essexand Clinton counties.

During this session he delivered a mas-terly speech on the proposed amendmentabolishing and prohibiting slavery,

Mr. Havens died at his home in EssexSept. 4, 1886.

A son, Charles A. Havens, is a distin-guished professor of vocal and instru-mental music in Chicago, 111.

Artemas B. Waldo, Esq., of PortHenry, died in New York city, Jan. 1st,from a sudden attack of pneumonia.

Mr. Waldo was born at Tinmouth, Vt.,October 17, 1824. He was a graduatefrom the University of Vermont in 1843,the graduating class numbering twenty-six members, of which only nine nowsurvive. Among them is the class secre-tary, T. B. Nichols, M. D,, a resident ofPlatteburgh, N. Y.

He then studied law at Granville andwent to Port Henry in 1847, when thatvillage consisted of a few scatteringbuildings. Mr. Waldo began at once topractice law, and in 1867 formed a part-nership with Franklin W. Tobey, nowdead, who was at one time State Senator,Mr. Waldo soon rose in the esteem of hisprofessional associates and friends, andwas made District Attorney for two orthree terms. When the Whitehall andPlattsburgh R. R. Co. began to buildthe road which was afterward bought bythe Delaware & Hudson Canal Company,the firm, which was counsel for the pio-neer company, was strengthened by theadmission of B. M. Beck with, of Platts-burgh, now deceased.' \ .

After the death of Senator Tobey thefirm name was changed to Waldo, Gro-ver & Beckwith by the admission of Mar-cus D. Grover. On January 1, 1886 thefirm became Waldo, Grover & McLaugh-lin.

Mr. Waldo had been for many yearsthe attorney of a number of importantfirms at Port Henry and in Northern NewYork generally, including Witherbees,Sherman & Co., the Port Henry Iron OreCompany, the Cedar Point Iron Company, the Lake Champlain Transporta-tion Company, H. G. Burieigh & Brother,Whitehall, and the Lake Champlain andMoriah Railroad Company. He was amember of the committee appointed byGov. Hill to revise the judiciary act, andwas on the Democratic electoral ticketsof 1876 and 1888. He was also a memberof the Lateral Canal Commission.

Mr. Waldo was noted for his kindnessof heart, and he never allowed a poorman to suffer whose wants were broughtto his notice. He was a member of theAlpha Delta Phi fraternity and was aFree Mason. At the breaking out of theWar of the Rebellion he exerted himselfin the cause of the Union by raisingmoney to equip a company of troops.

The funeral service was held at hishome on Monday, Jan. 4th, when thesimple and impressive burial service wasread by the rector of Christ Church, ofwhich \Mr. Waldo was one of the firstwardens at its foundation in 1872, hehaving been baptised in the Episcopa*Church in childhood, and at his death hewas one of its generous supporters. MrWaldo was a Faee Mason, having been amember of Morning Sun Lodge in PortHenry since 1849.

The funeral was largely attended, notonly by his friends in town, but by manyprominent and representative men ofboth political parties from distant places,who came to do him honor. Several ofhis immediate relatives came from Bran-don and Wallingford, V t , Fitchburgh,Mass., and Jersey City. He was like oneof the old landmarks of the village, andwill be sadly missed from the place whichhe filled so well.

The Malone Palladium of a recent date,had the following pleasant bit of infor-mation in regard to Northern New YorkCongressmen:

'Hon. John M. Wever, of the Platts-burgh district, and Gen. N. M. Curtis, ofthe St. Lawrence district, were met bymany friends when they went to Wash-ington, and were of course present at theorganization of the House. Mr. Weverwas fortunate in having his name calledearly in the drawing for seats, andsecured an eligible place, only a few seatsfrom that occupied by Hon. J. H. Mofflttin the last Congress. Mr. Wever is agentleman of pleasing address, is fastmaking the acquaintance of members,and will soon be at home in the businessof the House. Washington has manyresidents from Northern New York, andan especial interest is taken in the Mem-bers of Congress for the districts in thatpart of th&State."

Mr. Wever is spending a few days inPlattsburgh during the recess of Con-

STORIES OF THE ADI&OHDftCK,By "Jonah," of Scboon Lake—No.

"THE MYSTERIOUS LAKE,1'1 OR,

" T H E H E R M I T OFBTtTE RIDGS*(Continued from last week.)

THE HERMIT'S STORY."I was born, brought up and educated

n the city of New York," began the oldman. "These were the scenes of manyhappy days for me in my boyhood; ofmany sadder ones as I advanced in age.Imagine a lad, happy, full of life andgayety, having no apprehensive thought!or the future, living only in the present;having a cheery home, a kind father,a gentle and ever loving mother, andevery thing that a young heart coildwish for. Such was I at the age of tenyears. I attended school at a short dis-tance from my home, was always ftrstin my class, and a favorite among myplay-mates. Those were happy days forme. Oh, that we could realize the vasthappiness of our youthful days beferethey are past and gone. My father m iin business down town; well can I r e -member, when but a wee lad of six sum-mers, my father took me with him downto his store one afternoon, and there, forone glorious half day, I sported in greatrglee, among piles of dry goods, boxes ofshoes, hats, etc. I related my adventure*to mother that night with great glee ateo,,and when father came home, he took m»on his knee and said, 'George, be a goodboy and some day the store and all thoeftgoods that you saw will be yours.' Mjtfather at this time was about thirty-ireyears old. Little did I think then thatthat "someday," spoken of by my father,,would come so soon; but so it proved.Ten years after, my father, in crossing astreet, was run over by a heavy loadedwagon and received injuries from lit*effects of which, he died after twod»y»of as intense suffering as ever mortalman endured. My mother was well nigkheart-broken, her grief lasted a long time.I was at this time a lad of sixteen. Ihad a very liberal education, and I ceaaedgoing to school and went into the star*left by my father, and, with the assistanceof a manager, carried on the buuriaeas..As I grew up, (accustomed as I was M>my youth to being petted, and havi&g.my own way), I began to. show signs e twaywardness, which greatly displeasedmy manager, and brought new grief tomy mother. At the age of eighteen I

more fond of spending money thanI was of earning it. I had in fact giveamyself up to fast living, if not actualdissipation. I was fond of gay compaa-ions, night carousals, of the club andball-room. As I handled plenty of money,I did not hesitate to avail myself of e v « yluxury. Of course I had many friend*,,as I spent money lavishly, and as I WM~rather comely of appearance I wan t^special favorite among the fair n x .Many is the time at this period of a ylife, that my mother would weep ©rerme and implore me to be a better bey,and I being ashamed, would promise to-do better, but, alas, my promise wovld'soon be forgotten in a wild mad rush ofgayety. At one of those high-toned af-fairs called Germans, I first met LuisWilson. She was, I believe, the loveliestcreature that I ever saw; at least she ap-peared so to me then. But little did Ithen know of the trouble, deceit andwickedness that lay behind those prettyblue eyes. She fascinated me with them.I fell madly in love with her, and w wdelighted to see that my love was recip-rocated. I took her to balls, to theatres.I was constantly by her side. I lovedher. I adored her, and in spite of the-whisperings of my friends that she wata clever adventuress, and against thewishes of my mother, I married her.When mother heard of our engagementshe wept, and taking me aside, she saidr."Dear George, you can never be happywith that woman. I have taken pain*to find out her bis* ory, and it is bad—verybad." I would listen to nothing aod 00the wedding came off. I took my wifehome to live with my mother, and for a-time confined myself more attentively t $business, and as every thing), west weti? .I was really happy. I was always readyto gratify my wife's every whim, and ather advice made many investments} toinduce larger returns in my business, att ' 'knowing then that they would suretylead to my destruction. A short timeafter I became of age, my dear mother,—and here the old man's voice faltered ao&tears coursed down his cheeks—watttaken violently ill, and died, before ft.physician could reach the house. Tfc#doctow said heart failure, but I knowwell enough now that poison was whatcaused her death. The funeral was held,..and we laid her to rest by the side of my .father in Greenwood. By the death ofmy father and mother I lost the onlyblood relation ihat I ever knew, and also- <found myself in possession of quite alarge amount of property, consisting of .;the store and stock of goods; also a nice-house and lot, all being valued at $100,000.I was,by the death of my mother drawnmore closely to my wife, if such a thingwas possible, and was willing to abide byher advice, and she took an active inter-est in my business. She urged me tospeculate and I speculated heavilyThings took a turn and I saw that mybusiness and property were being fastinvolved in debt. My wife urged me todeed everything over to her, so I wouldbe safe from creditors until the crisiswas past, and things took a turn for thebetter. This I blindly consented to do.
