At the com Increment Of the late war a
company ofmen from Kingston, in this coun.
", under the command of Capt, Thomae,
volunteered their services to the govern

army under General Hull, at Detroit, and
large reinforcements were wanted, the
Kingston Volunteers were called upon'to per
form their tour of duty. They marched with
slacrity, and remained under the command
OF General Harrison, until the reduction Of
Upper Canada rendered il prudent to dis.
pense with their farther services.
Among the Volunteers, was young man
by the name Of JAMES BIRD, aged about
twenty years he was was born In Exeter,
where bis parents now reside. Bird enlist
