enjoyed the advantages of a ,Sontid education,
according "to the gOod. old style of New Eng
land. - At the early age of 19 lie'Was sent adrift
to struggle with tortune'S freaks and frowns;
' or bask in the sunshine of her smiles, as the
ease might be. ~Cirennistances of fi,''flortnitous
character alone attracted him ,to Bristol,, in;
our state, aad.results have proved it was most
satiSfactory. With only:feW dollars, in his
pocket, and a remarkably , scanty Ward

With' eXtreniely small means' he opened a
,groeery store at that place, gradually extend- .
