provide that the Committee wait upon Kos-

policy of the neutrality of our Govcrninent

European nations, to put down sti-uggling
liberty, oi any other violation of National

favor of the interposition ofthis Government
and not only of its moral, but its pliysictil
power. He was in favor of not only telling
l'\'o-siitli he has the well wishes of the Uni-

He was now in favor of telling all the na-

cle and run in the direction of M r. lliirvey

the broken Sl)tIll.S sticliiiig into his side. Upon
witlidriiwiiig it it was seen that the wound was
mortal, and that the poor aniimil could survive
but. it short time, and as he was iippiiroiitly suf-
fering llie most iigonizing |)‘rllll, lie was dispatch-
ed, to end his misery. It set.-ins almost at mir-
note that the reverend gentlemmi was not seri-
ously injured in the overturning of the wagon
upon him and the kicking and plunging of the
horse before he got loose from the vehicle, but
he happily escaped tiny serious injury. The
horse was it young and valuable animal, and the
loss must be severely felt by liiui. though we
leitrii ll cmnineudiiblo effort is being made by
our citizens to miike up his loss by friendly

“ In an undertaking so arduous, and at
the same time hazardous, a person fully coin-
mensurate with the task has been obtained,
and it is with ‘pleasure we here introduce
the name of Dr. John B. Trask, who has‘
been engaged in this arduous enterprise. ln
our limited conversation with this gentleman,
We halle formed :1 high opinion of his abili-
ties as a scientific and practical man These
opinions have been corroborated by letters of
pl‘0feSl0!'ltll gentlemen of the highest respec-
tabiiity and attainments in this country, and
with whom we are acquainted. Coupled
with these he has a thorough practical
knowledge of camp life, ‘liaving performed
within the last three years over five thousand
miles of land travel in the mo.-.t difficult, un-
explored and rugged portions ofthe Vlfestcrn
co_ii:i,i,icnt. With such a man, success is cer-
tain.

A Veteran of 93 -Ycm-s.
The Bridgeport Stiiudiird states that Tliziddciis
Bell, aged 93 years. died at Darieii, in Fuirficld
county, ai.<hoi't time since. He was present at the
burning of Daiiibiiry during the Revoliitioiiiiry War
and took part in the pursuit of the British. Old as
lic was, he became niiicb excited in describing the
events of the wiir—-ptirticiiliirly the death of Gen.
Wooster—tlie desceiit of ‘Piitniim at Horse Neck.
&c. He was one oftlic congregutiuii who, with
their pastor, Dr. Murtlieii, were seized during di-
vine worship by ti band of tories and conveyed to
the British head quarters at .Ncw York, Here he
suffered :ill the horror:-; ofa cruel iuiprisonmeiit for
four months, nndcrjiiilors influenced by lU0l'llfll.’(l
hate. Under these tortures his brother sunk and
died; and so severely did he siifl‘oi' that lie lirta to,
be conveyed to his home on it litter. During this
iinprisoiinientlie saw frequently from the \-vindow
of his cell the notorious .-‘xrnold riding out alone,
shunned even by those who had paid for his trea-
son.
He retained his faculties to the last-—coiild read
without glasses, and his liearirvg was as uiiiinpaired
as his sight. He died resigned and in the fullness
of faith, leaving his blessing and an honorable name
to six surviving sons and diiiiglitcrs, thirty eight
grand and seventy eight great grand children. .
