The Watchman and I?eflector gives the following
account of the last soldier of the revolution :—" Daniel
Frederick Beekman, who died at Sandusky, Cattaraugus
County, New York, on the morning of April 5, at the ad-
vanced age of 109 years 9 months. Ho was born in New
Jersey, in 1760. When he was a child his parents emi-
grated to the Mohawk Valley, New York, where thel
lived during the revolutionary war. In 1778, just pre-
vious to the skirinish of Fort Plain, he was enrolled in the
militia, and took part in that battle, in a company under
the commaita of a Captain Vanarnun. About the year
1828 Mr. Beakman removed to Arcade, Wyoming
County, New York, and resided there till 1845, whoa
he removed to the town of Freedom, Cattaraugus
County, where he has since lived. His wife, with
whom he lived 85 years, died six years ago at the age of
105 ; and a few weeks since he buried his two oldest sous,
who were over 80 years of age. Mr. Beekman did not re-
ceive a pension till 1867, when Congress weed aa espe-
cial Act, giving hint during his life $5OO per annum. Iu
religion he was a Lutheran. In politics he was a Demo-
crat. Ho cast his first vote for Washington, the father
of his country, and his last for General Grant, the de-
liverer of his country. His descendants of the fifth
generation were present at his funeral. The sermon
"on the occasion was preached b'y the Rev. Abner
Morrill, of Arcade." A writer in the London Times
asks if there is a British .soldier of the Revolutionary War
still alive? We do not think it likely, for these reasons'
While boys freely joined Washington's Army from their
adjoining homes in the States, none but well-grown well
were sent from Europe to carry on the campaign. A peonl°,
in revolt send masses of their population into battle, and al'
able to bear arms partake in a lesser or greater degree i 3
the strife. Compared with that number the armies of King
George were very small, therefore the American soldierg
were not only younger, but more numerous. A letter h'
yesterday's Times informs us that there is such a soldier,
a pensioner of the 62d Regiment, named Jonathan Reeves,
5, George's-buildings, Walcot, Bath. He was born IEL
1764, and is therefore in his 105th year, but this exceptive
proves no rule, for he was a drummer-boy born in the
regiment.
At the meeting of the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences in Boston, on Wednesday, April 28, Ai'
D'Avizac of Paris, D. lraldo Lincoln of Worcester;
Revs. Henry M. Dexter of Boston, and E. M. Stone °'
Providence, with others, were chosen members. TD°
deaths of Mr. Bergenroth of Madrii., of Dr. Usher
Parsons, of Rhode Isiand, Colonel T. Bigelow Lawrence,
of Boston, and George Folsom, of New York, were notcd•
Bev. Dr. Brewster, of Worcester, opposed the new theories
of the pre-historic man, and argued that the human mill"
has not changed in character orgrown in acuteness through
the recorded cnturies. Charles C. Jones, of New York'
read a paper about the mounds and their unknown race of
builders in Georgia.
Vice-President Colfax, accompanied by his wife
and a party, will next week make a tour of Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Vermont, whence 009
will cross the Continent to California in August. At one
time it was thought that the President would look up ll'
old home in California, but that hope has been diesr
pointed.
General Raaslaeff, Danish Minister of War, sai,d,
at a Copenhagan banquet, on Thursday, that the Sena"
would probably ratify the purchase of St. Thomas wheu
they understood the nature of the negociations. Thu
delay arose front the fight between the late President an
Congress. Mr Sumner favoured ratification.
General Patrick H. -Jones has been appointed
Postmaster of New York City. It was that gentleman wl
served during the remaining portion of the term of Gene';
Halpine, "Miles O'Reilly," to secure for that gentlema°,o
family the emoluments of the Recorder's-office, which
held. He was a resilent of Cattaraugus county, and fl"
1865 was elected Clerk of the Court of Appeals. Iledl-
tinguished himself during the war, was promoted for
lantry at Allatoona, and was honourably mentioned duriab
Sherman's celebrated campaign.

The accused has been sick at Ward's Island since
