From he N. Y. Sun. EARLY LIFE OF JOHN c. COLT.

EARLY LIFE OF JOHN C. COLT.
 John c. Colt is of English descent, and he traces his ancestry back to Sir John Coult. His first American ancestor, John Colt, was born at Hartford, in 1858, his father having emigrated at an early period of the history of that colony. from Colchester, England.- John Caldwell Colt was born at Hartford in 1910. and is consequently g years of age.
 His juvenile characteristics were fond ness for boying sports, extreme bravery, or decision of character; and great generosity of disposition, inclning him to take sides with the weaker party in all juvenile quar- rcls. His daring was remarkable; so that he seldom came to blows and though often of his own.
 At the age of twelve, Colt went to reside with an uncle at Burlington, Vt., an excel lent man, who appreciated his ncphew's character, and was extremely attached to him. In one of his letters this uncle says, "I tell you what, John is made of good stuff, and you need not give yourself any uneasi- ness about him. He likes to have his own way rather too much, but then he is always more than half right, and where is the harm in giving him little play! He is as kind hearted a fellow as ever was and take him all round, never saw better boy in all
 my life"
 The following simple anecdote will illus trate ope point in his youthful character :-- Going out one cold winter morning 10 feed his uncle's sheep, our subject found stray lamb frozen to the ground in the snow and nearly dead. He told his uncle. Orders
 were given for one of the men to kill it, Our subject implored for the lamb. but in vain. When the man came in with stick to lonroeoh sH ho cfooH thu little HaPo and protested he would be killed himself sooner than let the lamb be killed. The uncle coming up at the time, our subject re-
 newed his entreaties, and was told, "well you foolish fellow, take the lamb to your self. and do with it as you like" He flew for an axe, carefully cut the little creature from the snow, put it into basket, and carried it to the house; where, after six weeks nursing, it became hardy enough for removal to the stables, and throve well, though from it's once frozen feet, always a cripple. And the grateful little cripple fol. l lowed him about the farm. .s At this age, as often happens to boys of genius, a singular change came over his
 mind. He thirsted for knowledge. Here
 tofore, he had been more attached to play 1 than books; but now, the love of study, and ] the desire to know, became passion.
 He had attended school; and his appliea- ton and rapid requirements gained him
 universal praise. -..
 He now wished to get a presentation for
 the military school at West Point. his early
 passion. like that of most young men of ar- dent and ambitious temperament, being for
 military glory. But he had a step-mother, | who ruled in his fathers house; and. as is
 too often the case. made it any thing but a comfortable home to his children. She had
 decided that he should eugage in Tnercan- tile pursuits. He begged to be allowed Captain Partridge's military school. bui l this was denied He then elitreated to Se
