This, we confess, was an entirely new idea
TO us, and we were rather inclined to deny
the statement without an examination.
A recent review of Griswold's Poets and

of the eighty-four American Poets, sketch

seven were born in slave States-viz,. Ais

Deac. Nathaniel Carter Bates.

In our last, brief mention was made of
the sudden and violent death of Deac.
Bates, at Salisbury, on Saturday, the Both
ult. The relation which we long sustained
to him, together with the fact that he has
many friends and relatives in different parts
of the county, render it proper that we
should say a word in addition. The man
ner of his death was we'll calculated to add
poignancy to the bereaved hearts of his fam
lily, and make startling impression upon
he neighborhood in which he lived.
He arose in his usual health on Friday morn
ing, and soon after breakfast started on some
business to the adjoining town Of North East,
N. Y, in Wagon. About II o'clock, while
on his return home, his horse took fright, and
after running furiously for considerable dis
lance, the Wagon was upset, and he was
thrown senseless upon the frozen ground, with
| in few rods Of his own dwelling and within
sight of his family. He was carried into
his house, where he fingered in state Of
insensibili!y until about o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning, when death released him
from the world. His funeral was attended on
Sunday, on which occasion solemn and
impressive Funeral Discourse was delivered in
the Congregational Church by the Rev. Mr..
Reid. from the text, " Let me die the death Of
the Righteous, and let my last hours be like
his"
| Deac. B. was born in Cornwall in May, 1878
and was consequently aged nearly IA. He
had been an active professor of religion for
almost half century, and was for several
years an elder in the congregational church
That he was an indulgent husband and father,
kind neighbor, and good citizen, all who
knew him will attest.

Arnold arrived at Ticonderoga
