" The following taken by me, in the presence of a few deeply affected friends and relations, are his Jast words.
** . Deur brethren and sisters. I am just gone. This night I shall probably expire ; but I have nothing to fear. I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith : und henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness. God has always shown me that he is my God, that I am his son, and that an eternal weight of glory is mine I'
" The partner of his care, (aud I may add, faithful assistant in all his labors), sitting be- dewed with teurs by his side, he proceeded, ' Go on, my dear wife, to serve the Lord. Hold ont to the end. Eternal glory is before us.
" After a silence of some miuntes, he called me and said, ' My breath is almost gonel I have been praying that I may go home to-night. I had great happiness in our worship this morning, particularly in singing, which will make a part of my exercise in a blessed eternity.'
" Now gently closing his eyes, he cheerfully gave up his soul to God, with whom, I doubt not, he walks, " high in salvation and the crimes of bliss.' This solemn event took place at the dawn of the 2ud day of Nov .. 1784, in the 78th year of his age. A suitable discourse to his memory was delivered by the late Rev. Charles Bnssey."
Ilis children are ull yet living in Georgia, at no great distanec from the place in which their venerable father finished his earthly course. They all possess a competency of wordly things, . and a number of them are members of the Kioka und other churches.
Mr. Marsball after all his sacrifices for the cross of Christ, was always blessed by a bountiful Providence with a sufficiency of the meat that perisheth, and left behind him an estate of considerable valne. Ilis son Abraham inhabits the mansion, from which he was removed to the " house not made with hands."

The limits of our work will not allow us to give any extended biography of this illustrious warrior. The reader will find interesting sketches of his life in Hinman's Catalogue of the First Settlers of Conn., in the Hist. of Dorchester, Allen's and the various other Biographical Dictionaries, etc., etc. In person he " was tall and portly, but nevertheless full of martial bravery and vigor ;"t and the universal testimony of other days is, that " his life and conversation were of the Puritan stamp, without ostentation and above reproach."

JOHN and his son THOMAS resided in Lancashire, England. Rev. RICH- ARD, son of Thomas, was the first of the name that came to this country. He was b. at Lowton, in the county of Lancaster, in England, in 1596. In boyhood he showed great ambition to learn, and used to walk four miles every day to school. At the age of fifteen he became himself an instructor, and studying devotedly, after a few years became a fine scholar, and a profi- cient in the liberal arts. He spent much time at Oxford University, where he improved himself by conference with learned men and books, by dispu- tations, and other academical entertainment. Soon after, he was settled at Toxteth as minister, and there distinguished himself by his watchfulness, tenderness and energy in his profession : m. in Eng., Catharine, dau. of Edmund Hoult, Sept. 29, 1624. In 1633 he was suspended from his calling for non-conformity, and, " without hope of again enjoying the liberty of doing any public work in his native land." In 1634 he made his journey to Bristol to take a ship for America, being forced on his way to change his ap- parel that he might escape pursuivants who were endeavoring to apprehend him. He arrived at Boston, August 17th, 1634, and August 23d, 1636, after having been previously sought by many congregations, became teacher of the church in Dorchester, Massachusetts, succeeding Mr. Warham, who emigrated to Windsor. He continued at Dorchester, a prominent, zealous and most effective preacher, until April 22d, 1669, when " he quietly breathed forth his last, after he had been about seventy-three years a citizen of the world, and fifty years a minister in the Church of God." His wife d. - , and he m. 2, Sarah (Rossiter), wid. of Rev. John Cotton, 2d minister of Ist church in Boston, Aug. 26, 1656 ; his wife d. May 27, 1676, a. 75. Children by 1st wife-Rev. Samuel, b. May 13, 1626, in Eng. ; grad. at Harv. Col., 1643 ; ad - mitted freeman of Mass., 1648 ; went to England, thence to Scotland, finally settled as minister in Dublin ; m. a sister of Sir John Stevens of Dublin ; had only one dau., who lived to adult age; he d. in Dublin, Oct. 29, 1671, a. 45 : Timothy,1 b. in Eng., 1628 ; Rev. Nathaniel, b. in Eng., March 20, 1630 ; grad. Harv. Col., 1647; went to Eng., where he was presented with a living at Barnestaple by Oliver Cromwell, in 1656, from which he was ejected after the Restoration ; he then succeeded his brother in Dublin, and d. at London, July 26, 1697, a. 67 ; having preached 47 years in England, Ireland and Hol- land : Joseph, b. in England, d. young : Rev.

* The history of this remarkable and gifted family has never yet been fully written. It is to be hoped, however, that the subject will some day attract the attention of some competent per- son who will do the subject the justice it deserves. Our sketch, which is confined to the Windsor branch, is collected from the town records (very meagre) ; Goodwin's Gen. Notes ; the New Eng. Gen. Reg., and a slight and very imperfect genealogy of the family, published some years since.

Having the wings of Faith and Love, and Feathers of an Holy Dove, he bids this world adieu, and wisely up to Heaven he flew. Dis- turb not then his precious dust, with censors that are most unjust."
