The British regulars, at the order of Major Pit
earn having fired at few "rebels'' on the green
in front of the meeting house. killed some and
wounded others, it was signal for war. "The
citizens" writes one, "might be seen coming
from all directions, in the roads, fields, and
through the woods, each with his rifle in his
hand, his powder-horn hung to his side, and his
pockets provided with bullets" Among the
number was Ebenezer Lock. The British had
posted reserve of infantry mile in the rear, in
The direction of Boston. This was in the neigh
Dorhood of Mr.. Lock, who, instead of fastening
20 join the party at the green placed himself in
an open cellar at q convenient distance for doing
execution. A portion of the reserve stand
ing on a bridge, and Mr.. Lock commenced fir
ing at them. There was no other American in
sight. He worked valiantly for some minutes,
bringing down one of the enemy at nearly every
shot. Up to this time not a gun had been fired
elsewhere by the "rebels. - The British great
iy disturbed at losing so many men by the ran
dom firing of an unseen enemy, were not long in
discovering the man in the cellar, and discharged
a volley of balls, which lodged ON the wall OPP

to load and fire with the precision of finished

tiers, however, by the British on his right and

Just one bullet left, and there was now but one
way to escape and that was through orchard
and not one moment was to be lost; he levelled
his gun at the man near by, dropped the weapon,
and the man was shot through the heart. Lock
reached the brink of steep hill, and throwing
himself upon the ground tumbled downwards,
rolling as if MORALLY wounded In this way he
escaped unhurt. AT the close of the war he
moved to New Hampshire, where he resided till
his death, twenty years after. He lived in seclu-
sion and died in peace.

JEWISH NATIoNALITY.-Under this cap
ton the HebreD of last week-a journal pub
lished in San Francisco, has these remarks ::
"At the present time, when universal liberty
is being proclaimed throughout the civilized
world when the religious disabilities are
being removed, and the bounds and metes
which for years hedged and circumscribed
the Jewish people Of all countries, are being
fretted away by the gradual emancipation Of
thought and the advance of education and
progress, it is fitting time, that our people
snould so organize as to present an un6roken
front to the world at large. Do not Jews
have an interest in the country which gave
them birth, or what is still better, afforded
them an asylum from oppression, and aided
them to place themselves on an equal foot
ing with their fellow men by their own exer-
ti0ns? Unquestionably they do! Be the
Jew born under what flag he may, his reli-
gious nationality is the same. As a man, as
citizen, it is his duty to aid all in his pow
er in the sustenance of that Government
which affords him, his family, and his world
ly goods protection. His duties, however,
do not end here. He owes it to himself, to
his people at large, that the love and con-
stancy with which his faith has been che
rished, shall be so vitalized as to become the
germ for the future national existence Of the
Jewish people. The first steps to be taken
in the great work Of reformation, can be
easily conducted on the Pacific coast, where
greater portion of our people, leaving kin
dred aad places of nativity at an early age,
have in their struggles became self-made
men, and as such, have settled down as men
of families under their own vine and fig
tree to rear anew generation, which at pre-
sent promises to surpass that of any Of our
co-religionists in the world. Here, where
equality has been fully demonstrated, where
the Jew is judged as a man-weighed and
appreciated by his own conduct, is the spot
on which to erect Judah's banner, and in
taking the initial step towards re-organiza-
tion, and proclaim our nationality to the
world at large. Set the ball in motion here
-and it will roll on with accumulating force.
We have youth, talent, energy and means,
as we form an integral portion of our COM
monwealth, which exerts an influence, second
to none, in our midst. BY our own endea-
vors, conduct and abilities, we have won re-
spect, confidence and friendship. No por-
ton of our people are equally blessed in all
that honors men and mems endeayors. Let
us, then, take upon ourselves the initiative
in the Reorganization of Jewish Nation-
atty"

LINCOLN, THE TYRANT.-The Warsaw
NeU Yorker thus burlesques the Copper
head statement that the President is about
to declare his Administration perpetual !:
"My hies! that's nothing it is reported
that Mr.. Lincoln not only intends to be
Emperor for the next two hundred years,
but that he will issue a decree that all
babies under fifteen years of age shall be
drowned, SO that his youngest will have
no competitor for the next Presidency |!
He will also soon set Washington on fire,
and play on jewsharp from Arlington
Heights, that he may know how Nero felt
when he was fiddling over burning Rome.
1t is also reported that he will soon order
a draft of one young and handsome girl
from every household in the land, and Or
ganize harem. la Turk. The rye crop
of the entire West will be siezed to make
whisky for this despot. Mrs. Lincoln is
to wear bells on her toes, and to have a
Copperhead brought in on a platter at
evening for entertainment, when she
dances before the Cabinet. Domestic
peace is the plea for these projects.
