After leaving the ocean he followed mercantile pursuits in this city, and ever manifested a high sense of honor and in- tegrity in his dealings and intercourse- and enjoyed the confidence aud esteem of all the leading men of his times. He was of a vigorons constitution, and strength- ened it by a temperate and industrions course of life.

" In the picture | by Trumbullj of the battle of Bunker Hill, representing the fall of Gen. Warren, may be seen in the group a clergyman arrayed in his bands, who appears to be deeply interested in the battle. That man was the Rev. Sam- nel MeClintock, D. D., of Greenland, N. 11 , the father of the venerable John Mc- Clintock, who [ served in a private armed ship in the Revolution and | died in Ports- mouth a few years since [ Nov. 18, 1855] at the age of #1. retaining his mental and physical faculties to the last [ See above |."
William Mcclintock, the father of Dr. Samuel Me( 'lintock ) was born in Scot- land; carly removed to Londonderry, Ireland ; and after the siege of that place in 16ss 9, came to this country and settled on Mystic river.
"Dr. Samuel MeClintock was born in 1752. He was educated at Princeton College," and soon after finishing his sindies became minister of the church at Greenland.
"During the Revolution he strongly esponsed the side of the people, and was Chaplain at the battle of Bunker Hill." -
But he has now gone-and with him departs our last living chronicle of the American Revolution-the last intelligent tie which honnd ns with those patriots "Three of his sons perished in the war. One of them, Nathaniel, received a collegiate education at Harvard. but the war breaking ont he joined General Washington, and was raised to the rank of Major of Brigade.

He was then (although he had not reached 21 years of age) raised to the rank of Major of the line, over all the older Cap- tains. As he was therefore regarded with jealousy by those lower than him self in rank, he resigned his commission and returned home. He was indneed to take the command of a company of ma- rines which went out in a ship.of-war, the 'Rileigh,' and soon after perished in an engagement. Another son of Dr. Mcclintock was an officer at the battle of Trenton and there slain : and a third was lost at sea, serving as a Midshipman, and afterwards as a Lientenant, in a ship-of- war."
Rev. Mr. MrClintock owas loved and esteemed by his parish, and in the latter part of his life received the Diploma of Doctor of Divinity from Princeton Col- lege where he was educated."

"Capt. John Murray of Company D, 5th N. 11. Volunteers, was killed at the battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862.
It was stated by Col. Cross, who com- manded the famous 'Fighting Fifth,' that Capt. Murray left the hospital against the express orders of the surgeon on the morning of the day of the battle, saying his men should never go into a fight withont him while he lived.
In the disastrous charge upon the stone wall, after three color bearers of Com- pany D had been shot down in succes- sion, the colors were taken by C'apt. Mur- ray, and he was pres-ing on at the head of the remnant of his company when he fell, shot through the head, his body being nearer the stone wall than that of any other U'nion soldier. Two days after his death his commission as Major ar- rived at regimental headquarters.
Capt. Murray is said to have been the first man from Newcastle killed in the war.
