FATE OF THE Son JonN HANcocK-At re-
cent meeting Of the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society, Col Saml SWEET presented TO the
Soccty II mnnuscr pit poem the death Of the on
ly son Of Gov. John Hancock, Mt the age Of ten
years. Gov Hancock had one daughter who died
in cnrly infancy, and he was thas left childless
like many other of the Revolutionary patriots and
heroes. The circumstance Of tho death of Gov.
Ilancock's son, said Col, SWEET. was peculiar and
interesting In tho Arabian Nights we have m
account Of Kings son, whose fate. It was fore
told would be to be killed by lion. Ills anxious
parents accordingly took every precaution to keep
him nloof from menaccd fatality. lie was not
allowed to hunt, and was much confined in pal
ace, where, for his amusement, many animals of
the forest wero painted on the walls. and among
them. his dreaded foe, the lion. Provoked ut his
confinement, the restrained youth struck violent
blow at tho hateful lion, and concealed mil un-
der the picture inflicted fatal wound and verified
the dreadful prophcsy. Similar was the fate Of
llancock's only son. His parents to avoid the
dangers Of skating, sent him to practice it under
the especial care Of IN old retired domestic Of the
Governor at Braintrce- Henry Smith The poor
youth, while engaged in this amusement. under all
these precautions. fell upon the ice and was NOR
tally wounded in the head. These circumstances
described in tho striking illustrated manuscript
obituary notice of him by n schoolmate of his at
the time Of his death-the late Samuel Adams
Dorr of Roxbury. This manuscript has been pre-
served in remarkably unimpaired state, said
Col SWEET, and was lately presented to me by the
family Of Mr.. Dorr, and I have the pleasure of
presenting it now to this Society, in the hope that
the same devoted care will be extended to it by
them.
