Mr. CARPENTER was brought into this town from the East during the year 1800, when he was a mere infant, or as he frequently expressed it was brought in "on a pillow." He has been a continuous resident for 82 years. He was an honest, genial, and upright man, a sincere and true christian, having been a member of the Congregational church for many years. He will be mourned by his many relatives and friends.
