1775 he was appointed a member of the Provincial Council of New York. In 1776 he and his father and mother were imprisoned in Mid- dletown, Conn., as Tories. He died in 1777. His father retired to Eng- land, and died in London, February 6, 1790. See Sabine's Loyalists, I., 572; Records N. Y. Chamber of Commerce, Part II., 138.
John Lathrop, a native of Norwich, Conn., was for some months after his graduation engaged as an assistant teacher with the Rev. Dr. Wheelock in Moore's Indian Charity School at Lebanon, Conn .; and for several months he was a missionary among the Indians. On the 18th of May, 1768, he was ordained, and installed pastor of the Old North Church in Boston. At the opening of the Revolution, in 1775, he was compelled to leave his charge, but returned to it in 1776. In the meantime their house of worship had been destroyed, and he therefore accepted an invitation to preach in the New Brick Church as an assistant to the Rev. Dr. Pemberton. After Dr. Pemberton's death the two societies were united, and Mr. Lathrop became their pastor, in June, 1779. Here he continued till the close of his life. Dr. Lathrop adopted Unitarian views, but at what period is not certain. His preaching was practical rather than doctrinal. He was an ardent patriot. In 1785 he was honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity by the University of Edinburgh. He died January 4, 1816.
Joseph Lyon was a descendant of Henry Lyon, one of the first set- tlers of Newark, in 1667, but who was of Elizabethtown in 1673. Capt. Joseph Lyon was an Elder in the Presbyterian Church at Elizabeth- town as early as 1759. He died at Lyons Farms, August 26, 1772, in his 61st year. His son, Joseph Lyon, born 1741, and who graduated at Princeton in 1763, was an Elder in the same church for thirty-five years before his death, which occurred May 14, 1821.
Obadiah Noble entered the ministry and settled as pastor of a Con- gregational church at Orford, N. H., November 9, 1771. He was re- leased from this charge, February 16, 1829, and removed to Vermont, where he died the same year. He received the degree of A. M. from Dartmouth in 1773.
William Paterson was famous for his influence in the Federal Con- vention of 1787. He was chosen United States Senator in 1789, but re- signed in 1790 to accept the office of Governor of New Jersey, which in turn he relinquished, March 4, 1793, on his appointment by Washing- ton to a seat on the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. He held this high office until the end of his life. Judge Paterson re- ceived the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from Dartmouth, in 1805, and from Harvard, in 1806. He died at Albany, September 9, 1806.
Tapping Reeve was the son of the Rev. Abner Reeve, of Long Island, and afterwards of Vermont. He entered upon the practice of law in 1772, at Litchfield, Conn. Mr. Reeve was a firm and warm friend of his country during the Revolution. In 1792 he opened a law school, and continued to give lectures to students at law for nearly thirty years. In 1798 he was appointed Judge of the Superior Court of Con- necticut, and afterwards was Chief Justice. His first wife was the only daughter of President Burr. Judge Reeve was a profound law- yer, and Chancellor Kent said of him: "He everywhere displays the vigour, freedom, and acuteness of a sound and liberal mind." He died December 13, 1823.

PHILADELPHIA, October 13.
Captain Brookes, from New Haven, last Friday saw a large Sloop ashore about ten Miles this side of Great Egg Harbour; she had a Round House, and white Bot- tom; and a Number of Hogsheads, as the Captain thought, was seen on the Beach.
John Simpson, a native of New Jersey, was licensed by the Presby- tery of New Brunswick, in 1770, and for the two following years he preached at Easton, Pa. In 1772 he was appointed by the Synod of New York and Philadelphia to visit Virginia and North Carolina. He spent seven months in this missionary work, and in 1774 was ordained and settled as pastor of Fishing Creek Church, South Carolina. He was a bold and ardent advocate of Independence, and was in many conflicts and skirmishes, in some of which he was regarded as the leader and adviser. He had many narrow escapes, and in the course of the war his house, his library, his sermons, and indeed all that he possessed, were destroyed by the enemy. After the war he gathered his scattered flock, and for ten years prached to them. In 1790 Mr. Simpson became pastor of Roberts and Good Hope Congregations, in Pendleton County, South Carolina, where he continued his labors until his death, February 15, 1808.
William Mackay Tennent w as a son of Rev. Charles Tennent, of Delaware, and a nephew of William and Gilbert Tennent. He was ordained, June 17, 1772, as pastor of the Congregational Church in Greenfield, Conn. In December, 1781, he resigned his charge and ac- cepted a call to the Presbyterian Church at Abington, Pennsylvania, where he continued till his death, December, 1810. Dr. Tennent mar- ried a daughter of the Rev. Dr. Rodgers, of New York. In 1797 he was Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church.
James Watt was in 1770 ordained and installed pastor of the Presby- terian Church at Cape May, N. J., by the First Presbytery of Phila- delphia. He died November 19, 1798. Upon his tombstone we read, "If disinterested kindness, integrity, justice and truth deserve the tributary tear, here it is claimed."
Simon Williams came to America from Ireland. Three years after his graduation he was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Windham, N. H. He died September 10, 1793.

When we hear continually of the Depredations of the Indians upon the English; and every Government silent about either Revenge or Resentment, and no Encourage- ment given to endeavour to chastise those Savages ! Will it be a Transgression, to inquire, what is become of Brit- ish Spirit ? or is it really from a Christian Temper of Forbearance ? Would to God this was indeed the Cause. -The New York Gazette, October 17, 1763.
