Death of Mr. Carnochan. MORTUUS EST.— Captain WARNER 11. CARNOCHAN died at his residence on Chest nut street at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, aged 41 years. WARNER HAYDEN CARNOCHAN was the oldest son of the late X. M. CARNOCHAN, and was born in Troy this county Februray 1840. He was educated in the public school and academy of that village. While quite young he learned carriage trimming, but having a fondness for the legal profession, he early be gan the study of the law, preparing himself by attending a seminary at Andover, N. Y. — During the years he was fitting himself for his profession he taught several terms of school, but on reaching the required age—2l years, he was admitted to the bar, having pursued his studies in the office Judge MER CUR. Although never physically strong, and with many others at first opposed to the war, after Sumter was fired upon his patriotism was aroused and he took an active interest in the great struggle. He was elected and serv ed as Lieutenant in a nine months reg iment; he was afterwards employed as pay master's clerk in Florida. In 1864, at the second invasion of Pennsylvania, he raised a company of "emergency men "anu proceed ed to Ilarrisburg. All who were at the state capitol on that occasion will recall the confu sion and dissatisfaction which existed among the large body of men assembled there, am ounting almost to a revolt, over the proposi tion to swear the men into the U. S. service for an indefinite period. Capt. CARNOCHAN saw that something must be done to stay the tide or Camp Curt in would be deserted or be come the scene of a disgraceful mob. Form ing his company in line he told them that he considered the situation a very grave one; that he should tender his services, and con cluded by requesting all who would join him to take one step forward. The men stood by him; others followed their example and or der was soon restored. In the s priug of 1865 he was appointed by Secretary STANTON, a quarter-master, hut the war closed before he reported for duty. After the war he resumed his legal practice at Troy and soon became prominent in his profession. In 1868 he was elected District Attorney, and discharged the duties with marked ability. Six years ago he removed to this place and entered into partnership with VV. T. DAVIES. HIS career as a lawyer has been a remarkably brilliant one, notwith standing he was compelled to battle against that most insidious and deceptive disease, consumption, inherited from his parents. He was looked up to as a model practitioner, a thoroughly honest and conscientious man. His final sickness confiued him to his bed for six months, but he bore the confinement uncomplainingly and when the final summons came quietly passed away •'Like one who wraps the drapery of his coueh about him And lies down to pleasant dreams." Mr. CARNOCHAN was married in 1860 to Miss SOPHIA PARSONS, who with four chil dren mourns the great loss. They have the sympathy of the entire community. The death of one of so much ability and "promise will be esteemed a public calamity by thepeo of this county. Funeral services will be observed at the house to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. Af terwards the remains will be taken to Troy for burial. The News Condensed. It is reported at St. Louis that several Eastern roads are cutting rates on wheat and flour to New York.
