Ho accompanied the regiment in its varied wanderingn, first to Canterbuiy, Bug. ; thence to Cork, Ireland, ihence, in 1838, by sailing vessel to Canada, landing at Halifax in the middle of winter and travelling on foot to the Provice of Quebec, nnd afterwards to Toronto. From Toronto he went with his regiment to the West Indies ; thence to Inland ; thence to Lendon, Eng. He was present when the Duke of Wel- lington reviewed the regiment at Can- terbury, Eng., and the present Queen of Eni;laud presented colors to the regi- ment. He was again sent with his regi- m«»t to Toronto, and while there pur- chased his discharge.

S. regular army, going to Montana, Kansas, and other states. He died some years ago at Fort Leavenworth. One daughter, Catharine, (wife of Mr. A. Smith,) is also dead.
