He remained in town, quiet, retired and unmolested, though without doubt jealously watched by the patriots, until August 1779, when he was permitted to transfer his residence to New York which was then in possession of the British. He officiated there for a few months as a chaplain but was cut off by a sudden illness April 5, 1780. In the pulpit of St. James Church, Mr. Graves was both preceded and followed by a Seabury, father and son. His predecessor was Rev. Samuel Seabury, first a Congregational minister of Groton, Ct., but afterwards Episcopally ordained in London, and stationed as a missionary at New London from 1782 to 1743. He was was considered irregular by some of his then transferred to Hempstead, Long Isclerical brethren, but seems not to have land, where he continued during the rediminished his popularity among the peo-mainder of his life.

He had been previously invited to settle in the old pastorate of his father at New London, At the ordination of the Rev. Mather Byles over the Cong. Church, Mr. Graves attended the various services connected with it, and though taking no part in the exercises, mingled cordially with the offi"The Society for propagating the Gos-ciating clergymen at the ceremony.

This was and on returning to this country came immediately hither and entered upon the duties of his office, uniting the pastorship of the church with the charge of the diocese. The old church edifice which stood on the parade, having been burnt at the time of the British invasion, a new one was now built at the corner of Church and Main Street, which was dedicated by the Bishop, Sept. 29, 1787. In 1790 he was elected Bishop also of Rhode Island. Dr. Seabury was a man of large frame and firmly built. His death which took place Feb. 25, 1796, was caused by apo burial ground of New London, where a table-stone erected to his memory is still extant, though the tomb is now but a cenotaph, the remains having been removed to the church. The grave was opened on the 12th of Sept. 1849, in the presence of several clergymen of the diocese, and the relics carefully gathered up and deposited in a vault prepared for their reception, under the chancel of the new church, where an elegant monument bears witness to the veneration with which his name and memory are still regarded. He was succeeded in the pastoral office at New London by his son, the Rev. Charles Seabury, who presided over the church for a period of 18 years. He then accepted an invitation to become the pastor of a church at Setauket, Long Island. This third Seabury, of New London, was born at West Chester, N. Y., but the two former were natives of the neighboring town of Groton. The Rev. Samuel Seabury, father of the Bishop, was of strict puritan descent. His father was a deacon of the Cong. Church in Groton, and his mother was Elizabeth Alden of Duxbury, a descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, of May-Flower notoriety. THE REPOSITORY: NEW-LONDON, CONN. BY W. H. STARR.

We learn that the new stock of the road will consist of $500,000 of the first bonds and the unpaid coupons, making in all $605,000.

DEATH OF A HEROINE OF THE REVOLUTION.-The Oxford Times chronicles the death at Preston, Chenango Co.. N. Y. of LORUHMAH MCCALL, relict of the late Brewster and Elizabeth Fitch, his wife, John McCall, and daughter of Capt. Elijah formerly of Preston, in this State, and a lineal descendant of Elder Wm. Brewster, one of the May Flower emigrants.She was born at Preston February 17th, 1672, during the period of the French and Indian wars, and lived during the bloody conflict of the Revolution, and among other heart-rending scenes was made familiar with that horrid massacre at Fort Griswold, in the neighboring town of Groton, where many of her relatives and friends were inhumanly butchered. After the close of the Revolution, or about 1787. she with her husband removed to Lebanon, and in June, 1807 emigrated with him and their family to her late residence in Preston N. Y. a country then but just emerging from a wilderness state, and endured the toils and privations incident upon a pioneer life, and remained to see the desert blossom as the rose, and may truly be said to have lived the affectionate parent, the kind neighbor, the upright and exemplary citizen, firmly attached to the creed and faith of the Puritan church, retaining her intellectual faculties in an astonishing degree to the very close of life. She died July 3rd, 1860, in the 99th year, of her age, in the full enjoyment of the esteem and regrets of all her kindred, neighbors and acquaintances. CITY ITEMS. THE NEW LONDON HORSE NAIL COM PANY.-This company have just put in operation a fine twenty horse power steam engine in their new locality, (Fitch's Building on Water Street,) and are now in successful operation. We learn that the nails manufactured by this company are of a very superior quality, fully equal, and in some respects superior to the best imported hand made nail. They have been tried by our most experienced horse shoers, and pronounced excellent. Patent machines employed in their manufacture although perfectly simple, are a complete triumph of mechanical ingenuity and skill, May the enterprize prove a de cided success. The POLICE COURT APPOINTMENTS.-At a recent meeting of the Common Council, Giles Bailey Esq. was appointed Judge of the Police Court and C. W. Butler Clerk. The salaries of each were fixed at $200. REGISTER OF METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS, AT EAST NEW LONDON, FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1860. REPORTED BY H. E. CHITTY. Very warm. cloudy cloudy cloudy Showery. A correspondent of the American Farmer, whose experience entitles his opinion to respect, furnishes the following list of grapes, the merits of which are well ascer "And the Lord turned and looked up-tained, and all of which, in his opinion, on Peter"-and such a glance-words are better than the Isabella and Catawba, cannot picture it! 1st. DELAWARE.-Branches and berries medium size, round, red; ripens four weeks earlier than the Isabella; of the highest excellence as to quality, hardiness and productiveness. Its right eminently to the first rank is generally conceded by all who know it. As the sun that has been shining bright all day, sinks behind heavy clouds, muttering with pent up thunder and tides of darkness, casts one glowing glance on the doomed landscape and then is quickly smothered with a night of tempest;-so is the look of an injured friend, whose face, full turned upon us, bears written upon it with lightning letters, all the pleasant past, and then instantly turns away in the deep agony of wo; that glance must haunt us to our life's end. Suddenly we shall see it-see it oft when we do not call for it, but shall recall our friendship forever in vain. When wailing winds fling their wild minstrelsy from boughs whose myriad leaves are eddying in the fantastic dance of the departing Autumn-then amid the shifting scene will come a glance of the face of former friendship to illume the gloom for an instant, but to leave all gloomier than before. When soft sounds of sighing Spring breathe o'er the land, and the flowers awaken in light on sunny knolls, and the blue-bird's song mingles with the voice of loosened wave and cascade—that face again, so mildly sweet and yet so sad, glances with us upon the scene, but as soon is lost again, and a shade as of a dark cloud settles upon the smiles of Nature. "The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance." Let his own heart condemn him who would injure thee-only be thou patient, O child of many trials! The spirit of peace shall guide thee safely-know that conquerors of nations would gladly exchange their diadems for thy glorious hope. 2d. DIANA.-Bunches large, mostly shouldered; berries large, round, red; vine vigorous and productive; ripens two weeks later than the Delaware and approaches it in excellence, both for table use and for wine. It grown in a small space, must be root pruned at the end of the first season, and if very vigorous, at the end of the second. 3d. ANNA.-A white grape of the highest flavor; bunches and berries medium to large; vine hardy and productive. Itbegins to ripen as early as Diana. but does not progress so rapidly, and consequently in cold seasons may be considered not quite so early as Diana, but much earlier than Catawba, and greatly surpassing it in rich vinous flavor. 4th. HERBEMONT.-An immense grower, and the most ornamental of all our out door vines; perfectly hardy south of New York; its berries are medium and small in size, but color deep purple covered with bloom; the bunches are very large. Its rich, spicy, vinous flavour is very distinct and of the greatest excellence. It is fitly described by Downing, who says, "its berries are bags of wine." An admirable variety for the latitude of New York city and further south. In texture and flavor it may stand in comparison with the best European varieties. 5th. LENOIR.-All that has been said of Herbemont will apply generally to this variety, except that the Lenoir is much earlier, ripening at least two weeks before the Isabella. Its fruit is very sweet, rich, spicy and vinous, and has a very high character for wine as well as for table use. REBECCA Would deserve all commendation for the garden, were it not that its leaves, which are not abundant, like those of Isabella, in most localities are subject to mildew in unfavorable seasons. There are two other varieties that should not be passed without a word, as few who have gardens would like to be without them. 1st. UNION VILLAGE.—which originated with the Shakers at a place of that name near Cincinnati, Ohio, and was introduced by Mr, Longworth. In appearance it is like a monstrous Isabella, and resembles it in flavor, but is richer, and ripens at least one week sooner. In bunch and berry it may be represented as twice the size of that variety. 2d. ELSINGBURG.-This is directly the reverse of the above, having small berries but of the highest flavor, and of a decided European character, but it is hardy, early, and productive; with care, its long shouldered bunches become very handsome; fruit very sweet, spicy and delicious. It may be remarked that the skin of the Herbemont, Lenoir, and Elsingburg adheres firmly to the flesh like atl of the foreign varieties. GOOD CROPS.-A writer in the Country On a Gentleman raised last year four hundred and fifty bushels of oats, weighing 30lbs to the bushel, from five acres of ground, Also four hundred and fifty bushels of mangold wurtzels on half an acre. field of six acres, the same gentleman obtained one hundred and fifty bushels of rye, followed by a crop of two hundred and thirty bushels of buckwheat the same season. The editor also describes a farm on which the proprietor raised last year one hundred and six bushels of oats to the acre from a field of six acres. PUBLIC ACTS. PASSED MAY SESSION, 1860.
