DIED.-At his late residence in thiss
place on Tuesday the 25th inst, in the sew
|enty sixth year of his age, MAJOR JERVIS:
ICUTLER, for twenty years the kind and in-I
Idulgent ~step-parent of the proprietors of this

The deceased was the second son Of the
REV. MANAssEH CUTLER, who for fifty trol
syears was Pastor of the Congregationalists
;Church of Hamilton Mass, the negotiation in
ll7S7 with the Congress of the old confeder-I
e%ation, OF the famous purchase of a millions
land a half of acres for the Ohio Company;
sby means of which was effected the first set
element Of that now great State, and from,
1880 TO 1904 the Representative in Con-
sgress from the Lynn District Massachusetts.
I 1.-THE father deserves the credit ofpavingi
} he way for the settlement of thisthen savage!
Wilderness. the son is entitled 10 be consid-i
sered the pioneer Of the settlement itself. In;
Mss, at the early age of19, he was one of
The little band of 4S who emigrated from
Massachusetts under Gen. Rufus Putnam,
sand pitched their tents at Marietta, in the
very centre of the battle grounds Of the Indi-.
aans and Kenluckians of that day; and we
shave often heard him say that he was the first
Sman who ever cut down a tree to make a
Eclearing for a white habitation in what isnow
1.-The fourth State in the Union. OF that lit
file band of hardy pioneers he was probably
athe last survivor.
8 From 1906 TO the end Of the war ofInde-
spendence, the deceased was an officer of.
Ethe Ohio Militia, and of the regular army,but
kthe scene of his services happened to be at
emo time that of actual conflict. In 1909,
Eunder the commission of the General Gov
Hernment, he recr uited a company for the
HSouthern service, and was ordered TO New
SOrleans, where his services not being need
Fed, he returned with the remnant of his
Scompany which the fevefs of the South had
Sleft, and was afterwards placed in com
Emand at Fort Washington Cincinnati where
Il Re had under him, the then Lieutenant,now
AGeneral, Jessup, and others who have since
Eigured in the Military annals of the coun-
Ntry.
4 He,lived a long useful and e%ventful life,
b proverbial every where, and with every one
5who knew him, for his sterling integrity, and
9Sindheartedness and he died lamented by
GALL. His biography would form an interest
sing chapter in the history of the country, but
Smust be left to ADLER and less partial hands
s,than the writer of this hasfy and unworthy
eobituary, who 81 is too much overcome with his
Arecent sudden loss,and the deep sense of the
smany, many,acts Of kindness received az his
Islands TO dwell longer npon SO painful a sub
eject.
