They died while yet the spring of life,
Smiled with the morning's rosy hue
While yet the fair sweet-breathing -flowers .
Were gemmed with dainty drops of dew;—
While yet their pure younglearts wore - glad,—
Were warm with hopes, undauipcil by fears';
Ere summer sun's too brightly, shone,
Or autumn's dropped too' bitter tears;
Ere winter's "frOst's and fitful blegts"
Made earth too Chill fdr tUeir abode •
They gently sank to peaceful sleep •
And wakened in the home of God 1 '
Since thOnila years—slow

that a plank-road had just been laid in
the town of Minisink, running through
the lands.of Dodder, and that Allington
; is the toll gatherer, and that the gate
house is built upon, or adjoining the
lands of Dodder: The other facts will

The. Distriet-4 , l..ttorneY,. after' stating
the'ease to the' jury, called the coin-
Dodder, upon the stand;
who testified'aii 'follows :
I know the defendant; be is a neigh
bor of mine. I was driving his cows
off my in -rr utkille uui upun tam
road and stoned me. He sent as many
as a dozen at me, and the last onestruck
ine' upon the back of the neck. 'lt hurt
me considerably; not very badly, how
ever, as the rim of my hat hung down,
and it and the coat-collar, prevented.
"You can examine hiM nosy, Mr.
Allington," said. the District-Attorney.
All eyes were now turned upon the
defendant. There, be sat,' busily en
gaged in taking nOtes, a little, short, red
headed Yankee, with his f6et resting
on the lower round of the chair, and his
body bent forward at an .angle Of 45
degrees. • At-that remark snapped
his head back like a blade in a jack
knife, his eyes twinkled,, and in, a ship,
loud voice he commenced:
"Have you been on pod terms with
the defendant—Lmean• Mr. Dodder !"
"Dodder hesitated. ;
"Come, Mr.. Dodder. have Weheen on
godd terms !" ' • '
"I can't say,"
replied Dodder.
"Well, recollect, Mr. Deidder, that
ybu must say."
"Say yes or no," interposed his honor.

Dodder was completely, Staggered

queStions' went back into the woods.
'This Dodder was my nearest neighbor,
and a good deal,nearer than I wanted
him, and I hadn't been -there long be
fore I heard thaThe had been lying about
me to one of the directors, and I 'soon
found out that he wanted to get hisson,
who, was sworn here against nae,,in my
lace. Bid he hasn't done it yet,- and
if you don't convict me I reckon he
won't very soon, . .
It won't take long to dispose of, Dod

throW three stones at his father,' and
saw the , •"old ( man dodge." On cross
exwination Wesayis that hie was in, his

over'a hill ttventy feet ' high, and 'also
overlhree slab-fences. and two 'stone
walls. . Well I if he tells the truth,.- all
that I wish is that I had yonngDodder's
eyes. Hm is certainly a remarkable
boy, and can't deny his "father."
Lam willing to admit that I . done
wrong in throwing stones at Dodder,
tnd I apologize to all the world„and
hiS countyipartieularly for it. The doc
tors tell us that there are two causes for
diseases,.,ail predisposition and excita
bility. I think it was the latter cause" Ufa rnoved to'o'th stone Dedder.
I therefore confess mylgullt of the as
sault, but the battery /deny .r and if you
find me guilty of the battery I will ap
peal from the decision to the Court of
high Heaven itself before I Will submit
to it.
New,,Gentlemen, you saw Mr. Dod
der and-heard him swear upon -me. I
asked him a great many questions, arid
I•was sOrry to hear him answer as he
did. I might have asked him more
questions—l might have asked him if
he didn't kill my cat,' and if ho didn't
stone my chickens, because they 4res
pasiedin his woods, where, actually, the
rocks are, so thick that the .cats can't
find their way up through them ; but
then ['knew he would deny it, !hid it
Would..grieve me to hear him. H e a d.:
nuts that he was driving my three cows
:up the road; and that he struck at 'one
ofAm,but stiyA- it was with a small
switch. I have proved that this switch
was a pole about 10 feet long, and about
two inches across . qhe butt end, and I
hare also proved that when he struck
the cow fell. It is true my witiws
couldn't swear that the stick hit her, he
was so far off, but take the blow,and the
fall together, and we canguess the re:,t.
If you gentlemen, q should see me point
a gun at a hum, and pull the tricker, see
the flash and hear the report, and, ,at
tile same time see the man drop, I think
you would say that I, shot him, although
you might not see the ball strike him.
Now the fact is, Gentlemen, that Sun
day, ',was lying on my lounge in Any
house, when my wife said that Dodder
was Chasing - my cows. I jumped up
.and pulled on my boots and went of t
of doors, and saw Dodder and.the cog
coming upithe road. It is true he says
be wasn't driving them, but says he and
the cows was both going along the road
in one direction, and this was as• near
as I could get him to' the cows or to the
truth •Ak)ut it is proved that the cows
were , 48 mg tdong ahead of him, and he
was following after: them, striking at
them with his little , switch, ten feet
16ng, and two inches across the butt,
and' I' reckon - yoti'll think - be . was
"driving" them. I sung out to him :
," Dodder stop !" but no didn't mind my
order, and I just threw a stone in that
direction, which went about 12 feet over

'District-Alto !ey - refOed to - be pitted
against his elo , luent opppnent, and let
the cause go b default, as he said not a
word in reply to the speech of his op
ponent. The Distriet-Attorney,was ,in
a tightplace, and.tooliz the wisest course
to get out. It is not often he meets
with such formidable prisoners.
The hour Was approaching . for the de
parture of the New-Haven ;steamboat
steamboat from her berth at New-YOrk,
and the usual crowd of passenget;s,
newsboys, fruit-venders, .cabmen - and'
dock-loafers were assembled on and
about the boat. .
We Were gazing at the motley group
from the foot of the dock stairs, when
our attention was attracted by the sin-'
gular action,of a tall, brown'Yinkee, in
an immense brown 'hat, chocolate-color
ed- coat aml pantaloons, and a fillies ,
vest. He Stood near the starboard
paddle-box, and scrutinized .every fe
male coming on 'board; every now and
then consulting his enormous bull's eye
watch; which he raised from the depths
of a capacious fob, by means of a pow
erful steel chain. A tier naoitriting . gpard
in this manner, ho dashed furiously
-down the gang-plank mid up the wharf,
reappearing again on board almost in
stantly, expressing the most intense
anxiety. This series of operations' he
.performed several times, after which he
rushed about the boat wildly, and hope
lessly ejaculathig: •

the mate? Whar's the boss that owns

"What's the matter, sir? we ven ,
tured to ask him, when halted a mo
ment for breath.
"Habit &leen nothin' 'of a gal in a blue
sun-bonnet, with a Canton crape shawl,
(cost fifteen dollars,) pink gown and
brown boots, hey ? Come aboard while
I've been looking for the - Can'fi, at tire

"No such person has come on board."
"Tormented , lightning!-- she's my

black nigger says he won't hand it out,
and I won't. leave my baggage anyhow.

At this moment the huge addle-•

Pioneer History of Sullivan Township
A .small_ boy, the son of one of the
early settlers, was one evening sent af
ter the cows. He started the cows home
ward, and ' seeing some nice looking
bushes of blackberries growing near by,
stopped to pick some to eat. He climbed
up on the stump of an old tree that had
fallen; and' was industriously picking
and eatinig the, delicious fruit, when on
looking up, what was his surprise to see
seated, on the other end of the tree, their
neighbor's great black'dog. He spoke
to him and called him by .fiame, bra,
still,he did not run to - meet him as he
was accustomed to do. Then, thinking
it must be astrange dog he , tried to drive
)
1
him off y throwing sticks at him, but
he wools not go, and when he went to,-7-
wards WI he lielthnp his fore paws to
him. This frighte i tied elle boy so that
he Reyes tied, and - his father ,hearing
him, took his rille i and ran to him,- and
seeing that the
,causelof the child's af
fright was a large Wail,: bear, shot it.—
That little boy, is now quite an aged
man, but says • " he will never forget
that particular scene, and the vivid im
peessin it made upon his mind."
Many; very many such-adventures as
these have the early settlers_and their
children had, yet they were notlrobbled
like " the pioneers of Deliritiel-with--
the venomous rattlesnake; only a few
have ever been seen here.

goods" td enable him, now; in his old
age, to live in luxury and ease. He has
fulfilled many offices of "profit "and
trust," both in the town and cduhty.
In his business career, he has been' con
fl
t l
eeted in some way with nearly 11 of
the citizens of. hid vicinity. It is, I re
markable•fact that he is highly es em
ed 4nd very much respected by all.
The tirtA, physician of any note, who
settled In this town and continu d to
make it his home was Dexter Parkh rst.
He was an upright, conscientious' man,
truly loved and respected by all who
knew him. He came' into town in
18:16, and followed his profession till
within a short. time before his death,
which occurred in May .of '65. Ho
:seemed to possess that power Of adapt
'lng himself 'to circumstances, to suelf,
att extent, that he was always welcome
at a sick bed, as much for his kind and
'cheerful conversation, as for any medi
cal skill he might :Ilse in their behalf.
