A Good Man Gone.

We regret to learn of the death of C. O. STANTON, an old and respected citizen of Pleasant Plain, which occurred in that place Friday evening of last week, after an illness of but a few days, his death resulting from a third stroke of paralysis. Mr. STANTON was about sixty years of age, and removed to this county from Ohio early in the ‘50s. He was an ardent anti-slavery man, and for a long time was an energetic worker in the underground railway, and used to exhibit a coat perforated by a bullet from the gun of a slave-holder. He represented this county in the lower house of the legislature in 1856, and has held the office of justice of the peace and other minor positions in his township. He was twice married, and leaves several children. His funeral occurred Saturday evening, and was largely attended. In the death of Squire STANTON a good citizen and a man of integrity is gone.
