SINGULAR RECOGNITION.

Among the early settlers in ono Of the
towns on the eastern bank of the Connecticut,
in New Hampshire, there was person b.
the name of Sylvester Duane, but known
more generally by the appelntion Of hunter
Duane. Of hardy and robust constitution
he made the chase his chief employ, and, in
his general appearance and habits of life, ap-
peared closely allied to those scattering In
dians, who remained in the vicinity of the
settlements, long after the tribes, to which
they belonged, had removed or become ex-
tinct. lie was often seen associatinp with
them in excursions Of hunting, and like them
he manifested a perfect Indifference to all
those conveniences, which constitute the
comfort Of civilized life. In his view, the
precarious produce of the chase appeared far
preferable to the certain and rich hnrvests,
which the fertile vallies of the Connecticut
have never failed to yield to those who cult
vated their soil. To the pleasures of society
and social intercourse, he manifested an en-
tire insensibiity. Although he had married,
and though tho provision he made for his
family was the same he wished for himself,
