Selli Mann Carpenter.
Mr. Carpeiter, who died in this city
yesterday at :30 a. m., was born at-Ged-de8,
now a fart of Syracuse, New Yorjf,
November 1st, 1830, and therefore want
ed but twenty-pix days.of fifty -oney ears of
Mr. Garpiter came to New Berne in

1111873, Mr, Carpenter founded the
New Bernean, published it ever since,
nd as a journalist of positive convictions
and decided Democratic proclivities, he
had become vrell known to the people of
North Carolina, j
The life rhich went out yesterday
had not been jaltogether an ordifiary one,
or withont in(tdent. Mr. Carpener was a
courtly, kind, genial gentleman, but
modest and j retiring, and in the com
munity in wliich he lived the ' last ten
years of his ilife, woh not umversally
known, except to a few intimate and
chosen associates, but to three who knew
h:m well,
hp was a companion aind a
friend to be
mourned, now that he i
dead, and tof.be always cherished and
remembered. j
Coming to this citv in 1870,jMr. Car
penteri wa pospensed of libera) means, j
ihe bulk of which he lost in the enter
prise above referred to, but hef has a!-
ways been comfortable arnl above board,
and there arej not
wanting among his
poor ant minenng
people who recall the generosity nnd
noble spirit oif benevolence which moved,
on all occasions and in response to every
appeal, the benrt that yesterday morn
ing Milled in jdeath. j 'i
' Mr. Carperjter was a mnn of education,
culture and possePsel of more than ordi
nary intellect and abilities, f He was
graduated at the highest schools of
Sracue. ami in his early manhood was
connected -wijh the construction of New
Knjtlan? Railroads. He resided; for pome-
' . l T
time in the citv of New i'ork, iidiere he
enjoyed a lucrative business connection
as a chief promoter of somej valuable
mechanical patents, and bfforej he came
to New Berne was a moderately wealthy

of
Seth M. Carpenter, if they acquire

an organism, and animated- him with a
soul and sentiment, too high, tender and
catholic for a ardrd business man of
the world. ' He heVngeiiJ to' that class
who leave the world ' better fir having
lived in it, and dies and goes back to the
great God wlio sent him- bither, haying
fulfilled the mission of a' brave.fgcuerousi
kind-hearted noble soul; and against
whom, if the Recusing spirit ever ascended
to Hesven with tn offense, a tear of the
recording ai gel, as she wrote if down,
blotted it outi '.forever.. -V
