From some cause, however, unknown to
the author of these sketches, the bones of

yard, without even a stone to mark the
spot, and Connecticut, his native State,
have neglected unto this day to carry in-
to effect the resolution passed by Con-
gress.’-‘
The following sketch of Mr. David
Wooster is copied from a paper in my
possession in the hand writing of Maria
Clap_Turner, granddaughter of General
Wooster. Mrs. Mary Clapp Wooster was
the widow of Gen. David Wooster, who
fell in‘ defence of his country between
Danbury and Ridgefield. She was the
daughter and only surviving child of Da-
vid Clap, formerly President of Yale Col-
lege. ‘ She married at the age of 16 and
was the mother of two children a son and
a daughter. The properties of thislady’s
understanding, and of her heart, were
such as are rarely found in the same per-
son.‘ The power of her mind were strong,
active and firm. These were awakened
enligtened and enlarged by an early, uni-
form and well regulated education. Her
understanding was enriched by a great
variety of useful information. Her knowl-
edge of New England, particularly Con-
necticut, was extensive and minute. She
was conversant with all the Historical
and natural curiosities of this country.—
Her society was much sought, and her
conversation much enjoyed by men of
literature. Our pleasure in noting these
characteristics would be much less than
it is, were we obliged to stop here. Wlnt
most distinguished, most adorned, most
ennoblod her was -the gospel of the Son of
God. This she professed in early life ;
and from that period to the day of her de-
cease, lived steadily under its influence.
Though fervent and animated on all top-
ics; whenever she opened her lips, on the
subject of religion, her fervor seemed to
glow, and her animation kindle, in pro-
portion to the magnitude of the subject.
She was charitable to the poor, sympa-
thetic to the alilicted, and benevolent to
all.‘ She passed through many scenes.—
Her early days were strewed with flow-
ers, but the latter part of her life was
full of disuppointulent, and afilictions.——
She lost her husband, children and for-
tune." But all these troubles she bore
with rare equauamity and fortitude. As
she approached the close of her life,
her relish for religion increased, and
her relish for everything else abated.——
Her conversation was principally about
Heaven and heavenly things. It was the
result of choice, not of necessity. While
her body was a prey to disease, her soul
seemed more and more above this world.
Her exhibition of the realities of religion
during the last days of her life, made
those who conversed with her forget all
her former greatness, and proficiency in
other things. In the character of the
Christian we are willing to forget every
other conspicuous trait which justly and
singularly belonged _to her. Her light
seemed to_be truly that of the just, which
shincth more and more unto the perfect,
day. She was born 1726, and died in
New Haven at the age of 78.
To
Her son, Thomas Wooster, was sent
to Europe. On his return he married
Lydia Sheldon, by whom he had five sons
and one daughter. He served as aColo-
nel_ in the revolutionary war. After the
war he wentwith his family to New Or-
leans. Business rendered it necessary for
him to‘ go to New Haven ; on his return
to»New Orleans the ship was lost and he
was never heard of. His widow with her
family returned to New York. Four of
the sons went to sea and two were lost.-—
The fith son, Charles Whitney Wooster,
married Fanny Stebbins, daughter of Si-
mon, who was the son of Theophilus, who
was the son of Boni, who built the house
now standing in Ridgefield between 1708
1761, (who was the son of Thomas of
Deerfield, Mass, who was the son of R0-
land, who came to this country in 1628,
who was'the son of Sir Thomas, of Suf-
folk County, West of England.) The
house in Ridgefield has holes over the
door made by the bullets which were
fired, when the battle was fought in which
Gen. Wooster was killed.
, Charles W. Wooster had command of
the forts around the harbor of New York
during the three years war of 1812, under
the title of Major of the Sea Fencibles—-
After the war he went to Chili, and was
made Admiral of their Navy. He died
at San Francisco in 1848. He had two
sons, one died in infancy, the second
Charles F. Wooster, was eduacated at
West Point, served in the Florida war,
and the war with Mexico. At the battle
of Chihuahua, though Col. Doniphan had
command yet it was through his advice
and counsel the victory was gained ; he
gave the directions for all the movements.
To ’use the words of Major Porter, “he
didn’t know what fear was.” His talents
were fine and he had all the qualities of
sanofiicer. He died at Fort Brown, Tex-
as, on the 14th of Feb’y, 1856, aged 39
years, 8 months, and 12 days. His re-
mains have been brought hither, and are
interred in our family lot in Greenwood
Cemetery. His name and his mother’s
(whose remains are also the-rc,) on one
side of the monument, and Stebbens are
on the-‘other. By the foregoing, it will
be apparent that four generations in suc-
cession have been in the service of their
country. , '
* Various impressions have been en-
.‘sertained in relationto the appropriation
by Congress mentioned here for the pur-
pose of a monument -for»Gen ?§’.Vooster.——

the money was subsegna=n‘li_v put into the

was squandered. This not true, as the
journal of Congress will show. A bill for
the purpose passed the House of Repre-
sentatives in 1852, but, in consequence of
the numerous similiar petitions that were
presented after the passag of the resolu-
by the Lower House, the Senate did not
concur.” '
At the time successful efib1't.s were com-
menced to secure the monument now stand-
ing in “Wooster Cemetery,” Gov. Sey-
mour was authorized, or volunteered to
enquire into the fate of the above appro-
priation, the result of which enquiry sub-
stantiates the statement made by the his.
torian Lossing. Although neglect is
certainly involved in the long day in suit-
ably marking thc resting place of the re-
mains of Gen. Wooster, it is yet a subject
of congratulation that it has resulted in
the planting of a more beautiful and ap-
propriate shaft than would been done by
the comparitively small sum proposed by
Congress. This satisfaction is increased
by the reflcction that’ the citizens of his
native State, and especially of the town
he lost his life in- defending, united in the
final consummation of the act of justice.

@* The greatest preservative of beau-
ty known to modern science, is Prof.
VVood’s Hair Restorative and Cosmetic.
Among the most important features of
female beauty, are a luxuriant'head of
hair and a fine complexion ; both of which
should be regarded as sacred treasures,
for either may be lost by neglect, or pre-
served by the use of the above named ar-
ticle; delay is dangerous. We seldom
undertake, editorially to endorse whaiarc
called “Hair Restoratives,” as knowing
full well that the great majority of such
preparations are entirely worthless. Ex-
ceptions there are, nevertheless, and a-
mong these we have never hesitated to ex-
, press our conviction that the article known
as “ Wood’s Hair Restorative” is entitled
to a proud pre-eminence. This article
has told its own story in numberless in-
stances of prematurely gray and bald-
heads, and the certificates in regard to its
amazing eflicacy have been alike numer-
ous, unsolicited, and emphatic. When
Senators of the United Staees, and oth-
ers (of the highest standing socially and
politically) openly declare that “ Wood’s
Hair Restorative” is all, and more than
all it pretends to be, we cannot do other-
wise than believe them. The article can
be had at all our druggists. See notice

18* A correspondent asks the origin
of the phrase “ Give us your hand John
Boyd.”
In the Spring of 1854, the Nebraska
Bill was under discussion in Congress, and
as the probabilities of its passage grew
stronger, the indignation of the people
grew proportionately, and the old barriers
between the Whig, Free Soil and Demo-
cratic parties lost all power to restrain
the people from union. Upon the
legislature to be chosen would devolve
the duty of electing a U. S. Senator to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Hon. Truman‘ Smith and also choosing
a successor to Mr. Smith.
The Whigs showed a spirit of gene-
rous conciliation and nominated for the
State Senate, Clark Greenman of the 7th
district and John Boyd of the 15th, both
well known as distinctive Free Soilers.—
These pledges of good will were received
with great satisfaction and led the way
to a complete triumphjof the united oppo-
sition. -
The New Haven Palladium in announ-
cing the nomination of Mr. Boyd paid a
generous tribute to his worth and closed
an article urging his unanimous support
with the remark, “ Give us your hand
John Boyd.” The shams took it up in
ridicule, but it was the watchword of
union. The compaign resulted in sending
Hons. Francis Gillette and L. F. S. Fos-
ter to the U. S. Se11ate.—Hart. Press

Horace Greeley writes from Davenport,
Ill., to the Tribune, that if there were fif-
ty thousand shoemakers transplanted this

be ample work there for the whole of

pensed than they now can be. Every

“ The opponents of the Lecompton

The‘ Democratic Party.
The most truthful delineation of mod-
ern Sham Democracy is contained in one
of the Resolutions of the recent Republi-
can (jonventjon, It reads as follows :
5. ~RPs0Iv¢'d, That the so-called Democratic
party of‘ the North, which defended the Wil-
mot Proviso in 1847, repudiated it in behalf
of squatter sovereignty in 1848. sanctioned
the compromise measures of 1850 as a final
settlement, repudiated them and repealed an
ancient-compromise -in 1854, at the moment
when Frecdomywas to receive its first benefit
therefrom, postponed the time when the peo-
ple of the territory might prohibit slavery to
the period when they should adopt a State
Constitution, and then endeavored to defraud
them evenof that last privilege, and which
now avowathrough the President, that slave-
ry is'univcrsa_l in the territories, and cannot
be prohibited therein while they remain such,
has, b ‘these changes, conclusively demon-
str ate "that it acts upon no fixed democratic
prindlple, but serves the temporary purposes
of the, great American Aristocracy and Mo-
nopoly. 5..
And iioicalas, all this is true. That
great 1)8.l'l:y,'l.CV_.lll(‘.l] once set itself in the

any longer cling to the dead carcass of a
political organization whose vitality for
anything good is shown to have become
so utterly eritinct. Such men, if such
still remain in nominal connection with
that organization, belong really to the
Republican party ; _the party which adopts
the principles, the watch-words, the names
under which the great Republican leaders
of sixty years ago won their laurels and
achieved victories of whose consequences
the end is not yet. '1‘o such Democrats,
the reccnt_ message of the President must
throw_a flood of light upon the motives
which impelled the passage of the Kansas
Nebraska Bill. '3 Such Democrats cannot
standby the Administration now, with-
out eating their words, and making them-
selves at once a monument of inconsisten-
cy and miserable servility.

A Narr ow Escape.
On Friday last, as a wood train was going
up on the Danbury Road, the engineer saw a
wagon on the track. at the crossing near Um-
pawaugPond. He immediately took all pos-
sible measures to avoid a collision, and the
person in the wagon made great efforts to
“ get. oil‘ the track,” but all to no purpose, as
his old horse had “ baulked,” and not com-
prehending his danger, stubbornly stood his
ground, until the engine struck the wagon.
and severed it in twain. throwing the hind
wheelson one side of tlietrack, nnd the for-
u
'ward ones with the old horse, on the opposite
side. The unharmed, but considerably stirred
up rosinante, stood “ amid the wreck of mat-
ter,” uud looked on in mute astonishment,
while the driver of the vehicle could no
where he found. On examining the wheel
and brakes of the train,(whicb he had passed
on several rods,) the man with his cushion
apd buflalo robe, was found on the top of the
cow mlcher, (which on this occasion proved
to be a man catcher,) and so nicely was he
taken up, that not even the brirk in his hat
was displaced, or the home in hispoclret bro-
ken. He was but little injured but terribly
scared. It was a very narrow escape, and
should be acaution to him in future not to
trench upon that well established rule in phi-
losoph y, which teaches that “ two bodies can-
not occupy the same space at the same time.”

The Middletown City Election, result.-
ing in the ‘complete rout of the Sham
Democracy,‘we're the first fruits of the
wise action of the recent State Conven-
tion, and we now have another and more
significant bud of promise, in the disaffec-
tion and open revolt‘ of a large body of
the more intelligent adopted citizens in
New Haven. It appears that onthe de-
cease of Dr. Downes, the late Registrar‘,
these citizens asked of the Selectmen the

given to another. Wherenpon the citi-
zens aforesaid in great numbers met

The Ma-ssu.gc of l’rcsi«lcnl. ’.uc.l1-anzm,
presenting to congress the l.eoornp‘.ou
Constitution and urging the admission of
Kansas us a Slave State, under and by
virtue of that instunicnt, will be read with
gravc and anxious interest. Let not its
lengtli deter any one from perusing it.
So monstrous a compendium of l'ull-.i..'-it-s
and misstutcincnts-—of suppression and
nui:n'eprescntation has scldmn been "inn-
posed on n. long-snll'c-ring public. liegn‘n-
ning with the rlclibcratc, intentional fraud
of suppressing the whole «lomeslic history
ofKunsns prior to the zisscinhling of the
first Topeka. Convention, it leaves those
who rely upon it in utter darkness and
confusion as to the very pivot of all this
Kansas coInl.i'ovci°sy. The rational but ill-
inl'nrmed render of this Mcssn.gc, seeing so
much S:l.l(llll it of rebellion, revolnlionar_v
government, resistance to the laws, &'c.,
must inevitably ask, “ Why was this 'l‘o-
pcka organimtion cilbctcil ? \\*'hy did
the people of Kansas refuse to re-.oogni'/.e
and respect her earlier Territorial Logis-
latures? ‘Why did they refuse to vole at
certain 'l.‘crritoriul l<llccl.ion.-' ?” (lur
readers, with most Republicans, will rendi-
ly answer-—“ Because the 'l‘erritoriul Gov-
ernment was usurped by invading vi once
and fraud at the first Legislative Elet.-lion
in March, 1855 ; and because the Gov-
ernment, thus usuped, became a pliant in-
strument of oppression, iniquity and wale-
sale fraud, such as slaves only could be
expected to indurc.” The G ovcnnnent
thus seized and pcrvcrl.c<l was necessarily
rcp1n‘liated and dc-lied by the great m:\s:;
of the People of Kansas, whose Right of
Suiirugc it crippled by unconsl.itnl.irmul
Test Oaths and by Election Laws fruincd
to facilitate and give impunity to fr:uul.
'l‘he Topeka Convention, Constitution and
Government were simply a solemn appeal
to C-ongrcss by the great mass of the Peo-
ple of Kansas from the slnvelnohling con-
spiracy, invasion and fraud whreby their
most precious rights luul been \Vl‘-‘sled
from and turned against them. ’l‘hc Presi-
dent knows thcsc facts, yet he wi.ll‘nlly
suppresses and ignores them, proce'cding in
their absence to heap accusation after ac-
cusation, wrong aftcr wrong, on the Free-
State men of Kansas, whose whole histo-
ry he distorts, and whose every motive he
mis-s_tatcs and calunmiatcs most wickedly.
From the gigantic lnlselnood by suppres-
siou with which it sets out to the snnltling
cant with which it concludes, nil is sys-
tematic imposture, perversion and villain y.

its preposterous assumption that the ad-

suppyess “ agit_n.tion” and localize the Slu-
