through this city, on his way to
Leary, where he was to marry
Miss Annie Durden, and found
him a bright liufc that hinds the
present w»*l» the past.
Mo remembered Albany when
jt was in tjjo woods, and passed
through the village when there
were but three families settled
here.
The reporter lislenod awhile

hearty, yet was no familiar with
incidents of lmif n centuiy ago
“You wouldn't guces it,’’ he
replied, as his merry eyes
twinkled.
“I would say you were about

Yea, but I have seen hard
times. I was among tho first
to go to tbc front wlion the war
came, and saw just four years,

sevon daya without rations, and
finally climbed a mountain and
.effected a reunion with the
plain army in about a starving
condition, I was the last to
leave the breastworks at Mis
sionary Ridge, where the yon
kees were in thirty yards of me.
My horse was shot'from nndcr

to such treatment to mother,and
I killed him. It took me just

go through the war. But the
