 DIED,
 In New Mil(0r6 the llth inst. Col. Efisha BOsE- aOick, the advanced age of SC years. The life of this venerable much more remarkable for it's uncommon usefulness and irreprOachable tenor than for its great length. Soon after the of the revolutionary war, CoI. BOswick, then young man, joined the American army under General Wash- IOgtOM before Boston, officer In reg'men rais ed by authority 0f the then Colony Os Connecticut; and while engaged in that serVice he receved from Congress the commission of Lieutenant in one oI the regiments first raised under the orders oi that body, and for the period of O"e year-at the expiration ot which, he was offered a mission in the military establishment then organizing upon more permanent tooli"g; and although his private concerns compelled him decline the proposed honOr, he for very siderable tune continued to serve as volunteer with such of the regiment to which he belonged, as the pressing solicitations of General Washington could induce to remain with the relics Oi his almost dssov ed rmy, uD,il the levies came iD. During the period i" which Col. BosIwck served, as abo, stat ed, he bore part in maOy of the which hold distinguished place iM the military annals ofo ry-and particular in the evacuation of Boston l,y the British troops in March 1776; the attempted de- fence of, and retreat from New-YOrk, during the mer and autumn 0f that year, the battle of White Plains, the retreat Oi the American army through New Jersey and across the Delaware; the capture of the German brigade Trenton, the battle of Princeton, and the action at Qubbleten-and shortly a(er the close Ot his services iN the Continental army, he present volunteer in the action at Ridge6ed, where General Wooster fell, and the following day n that at COmpo, both of which, 1t will be recoeced, took place during the return Ol detachment of the British ar'ny from the burning Of Danbury in April i717. Alter this time, and through ihe whole remaim- ing period of the war, the subject of this notice a" officer in the mitia aud performed his full share o the harrassng duties incident e his station therein, during that eVeDttuI period: and subsequently through the era grades of office the command of a reg iment. ln civil life his services were not less meritorious, and Oi much longer duration. He for about twenty years of the Magistrates of this co"nty-was l3 times a member of the Legislature of this Staie and for 55 successive years elected by an almost or quite unanimous vote, to the office of Town Clerk, the duties o which he performed to the perfect satisfaction of al, until October, 1882, when being nearly 84 years of age, he voluntarily declined further appoin'nent. The length of time for which he discharged the duties of this latter "tice and the unanmy with which he Was always elected to iis are believed o be without parallel in the annals of this State. The uniform integrity with which he sus,ain- ed all the duties Of public, and relations of private siatiOn well the sngulArly modest, aniabe and benevolent deportment which invariably distinguished the whole of his long life, has perhaps been surpassed. He was for more than 40 years a public professor ol the religion of Jesus Christ and from his earliest years, is believed, reverentia o server Of it's precepsand he died as he had lived, in | the humble hope of blisslul immortality iy-COmm. !, In New Milford, on the lIth ut.
