BROWN, -- In Rochester, (NH), December 13th, 1863, of diptheria, Herbert J., son of James and Sarah BROWN, aged 15 years 11 months. His sickness was of short duration, only ten days, yet from the very first his heart seemed prepared to receive and embrace the saving truths of a Saviour's love and redemption through Him, and ever, during his sickness his will was resigned to the will of God, in his own words, "It will be for the best whether I live or die." Though his life was numbered by a few years, yet it seemed to open into a future of great promise, but, God in his providence, saw fit to unveil that future to him, in the glories of the eternal world, where the powers of his soul and mind will expand under a Heavenly Father's care and love and his companionship will be that of angels, and the redeemed of earth.
HORN -- At the U.S. Barracks Hospital, New Orleans, Sept 25th. (1863) of chronic diarrhea. Serg't Joseph D. HORN, of Co. I, 26th Mass. Regiment, formerly of Rochester. Thus we record the death of another Lawrence soldier. He was a young man much beloved by his officers and asociates and in a letter home, Capt. PICKERING says of him: 'He was as brave a fellow as ever lived; I know this by experience as a soldier with him in several engagements, and he was always one of my very best men. He possessed many, very many, good qualities rarely found in young men.-- After over thirty months in the service of his country, he has fallen a victim to disease.' Serg't Horn formerly belonged in Rochester, N.H. and when the rebel cannon around Sumter awoke the loyal North, in April, 1861, he took the first train for this city, where he volunteered at once to fill one of the uncalled for uniforms of the Infantry, and left the next morning with the company. On the return of the regiment he enlisted again with Capt. Pickering for three years. All who knew him in the three months 'campaign' through Baltimore' and in the present service, speak of him in the most glowing words of praise. Humble in position, honorable character, and rich in love for his country. He has fallen an early martyr to her noble cause.
