From Affluence to Poverty—A Veteran in the Poor House.
Capt. Isaac Nash, a veteran of the war of 1812, and formerly a wealthy farmer of Milton, was taken to the county poor house on July 15, from Saratoga Springs, where he had lately resided. Previous to the death of his wife, about 15 years ago, he was one of the most respected citizens of the town, owning 100 acres of its best farming land, with excellent buildings, besides having other capital elsewhere invested. He was born on and inherited the farm that he has thrown away by folly in his dotage. It is under foreclosure, to be sold August 23.
