gentleman came TO visit the east end of Long Island,
in search of evidence of his services in the Revolu-

pension. The reason of his walking was that he
would not incur the risk Of shortening his mortal career
by riding on railroads. So strong was his prejudice
against this mode ~ conveyance, that while IN the
upper part Of this city and desiring to come down to
the Brooklyn ferries, his way to his destination on
Long Island, he could not be induced to ride in tho
