Owing to this exigenc', Mr. Adams, who had acquired the rank of second lieutenant with a few months of service, was permit ted to resign, as commissioned of ficers were at that time allowed to do. This was contrary to the oft expressed wishes of the de ceased, but he felt a duty devolv ing upon him to care for his broth er's family, which he cheerfully as sumed, and therein did he prove his goodness of heart. From that time forward did he carefully dis- inspectofsT charge all the duties that a loving parent could extend to his children, giving them every possible oppor tunity for becoming good citizeus: and the results of his labor afford the best proof that his trust was sacredly kept. The deceased was a member of the Masonic,' Odd Fellows and G A. R. fraternities, which organiza tions will conduct his remains to their last resting place to-morrow afternoon. Funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian church at 2:30 o'clock. 5v ins pleasant, aoreeauie wavs a .
