the spot upon which stood the statue Of George
Tho Third, at the commencement of The Reyoiu-

my recollection the account of that statue which
have often heard from WILLIAM BARRows Esq,
late OF Hebron Maine, who deceased about five
years since. a. tho age OF eighty two years lie

Of Long Island and Trenton.

tho death and destruction OF his Majesty the

hosted hlfn up upon the house, behind his Majesty
and gave him an axe with which he commenced
cutting off his head, applying the blows thick and
heavy TO the back part OF tho neck-but the task
was not easily accomplished--his instrument was
soon duiied, and soon tho noise attracted the no
tlce OF the Tories, who collected with lanterns IN
great numbers and threatened his party with
vlolence-and as they far outnumbered tho Wing
soldiers, the latter thought IL advisable to retire.

On removing tho bronze the statue Of the King

reflect no discredlt on the gift itself, or the
honored hands that bestowed it.
If the reception of this gift has overwh helm
ed me with grateful emotions, | have been
scarcely less agreeably affected by the Inestl-
mablc document which accopanIed 1t. I our
lively appreciation of the difficulties of our
position on board the Somers. of the loss OF
national honor and sacrifice of humanity that
would have followed her convention from
estimation of the earnest efforts that were
put forth by her officers through days and
nights of toll, TO avert by calm and faithful
vigilance the threatened disaster, and your
appreciation of the means that were adopted
as last resource TO secure the honor of our
flag, give peculiar value TO Your testimony.
/ have a deep and abiding sense of the
double obligation thus incurred upon me,
which can only manifest by an earnest ef-
fort to Justify your favorable opinion. BE
pleased to assure all who have participated
in this kind act, that shall ever hold them IN
grateful and honored remembrance; and be-
lieve me, gentlemen, very truly and respect
