Rev. Ethan Osborn.

Under our usual obituary head will be found the
announcement Of the death of this venerable divine
which took place at his residence in Fairfield, N.
May 1st 1865 in the One HundredA year Of his age.
Mr. Osborn was a son of Capt. John Osborn of this
town, and was born here. August q, 1855. In Au-
gust, 1776-at the age Of Is years-he enlisted as
soldier in the continental service. in company
commanded by Capt Bczaleel Beebc also Of Litch-
field. Of this company of 96 men, officers included,
he was the last survivor In the retreat of Wash
ingtons army through the Jerseys, he was attached
to the rear-guard, and often saw the ''red coats
behind him. Had it not been for temporary and
proyidential Illness which detained him the op-
posite side of the river he would have been par
ticpant in the terrible slaughter at Fort Washington
on the 18th of November following the date of his
enlistment. In 1854, Mr.. Osborn graduated at
Dartmouth College, and two years subsequently he
received license to preach the gospel from the Con-
sociato then in session at Middletown Connecticut
During the succeeding winter he receiyed call from
church in Spence-town N. Y which he declined
He went to Philadelphia in the fall of 1887, and
thence to Fairfield NJ j. where, after supplying the
pulpit for nearly two years, he ordained as pas
tor of the church in that place-then numbering 1875
members. Having remained in the pastoral office in
Fairfield 6tyfour years, he dismissed at his own
request, in April 1874. During his ministry, about
600 persons were added to his church. In 1885, the
Rev Beriah D. Hotchkin was installed as his sue
cessor. ~ .se. .; a
In the summer of 1s47, lat the age of s9,) Mr. Os
born made his last visit to his native town. at which
time, many of the readers of the Enquirer will
remember, he preached in the first congregational
church. His only surviving sister, (urs. Whitman
Kilbourn. is still resident of this town.

eg"Hon F. P. Stanton has been spoken of as ia
voring the English Bill Nr. S. publishes letter
in reference to the matter in which he says:
Go agree that the bill in question does virtually
submit the Iecompton Constitution to vote of the
people of Kansas, however ungraeiously this act of
justice may be conceded. But the conditions of this
submission are. in my Judgment. in the highest de-
gree illiberal and unr creating an unjust dscrim-
naton in favor of constitution already rejected by
the people, and attempting to coerce them into ac-
ceItance 10y sort of constraint which is unworthy
of Congress, and necessarily offensive to the people
of the Territory.
The Administration in pressing this bill through
Congress, has greatly damaged itself before the ma
ton. The attempt to influence the Frcemen of Kan
sas by brides and threats to accept slaveconsitu-
ton, cannot succeed. and being rejected the People
of that Territory will ask for admission next winter
