William Combe, one of tha few real veterans of the war of 1812 surviving until this year, died a few days ago at the residence of li is son, at Arlington, a little town 150 iniles west of this city. He was born at Springfield, Otsego Co., New York, in the year 1796. At the time ot William's birth, his father, Samuel Combe, of Livingstone Manor, who had served in the Revolution, was a conspicuous figure on the then borders of civilization, and fur many years afterwards he and his six stalwart sons bore a prominent part in the many sanguinary conflicts that marked the early history of the West ern frout'er The Combes were of warrior stock, aud traced their ances try through the l'uritaus of Massa chusetts colony back to the reign ol Elizabeth.

At the close of the war he settled at Jordan, Onondaga county, N.

The crowning achievement of his life as a gladiator, and perhaps the last as he was never heard of after the occurrence of the incident here related was his victory single handartd ed, over a mob of 150 infuriated reckless Frenchmen of Detroit, just after the elose of tho war of 1812. The present city was then a village, or more properly a trading post, inhabited maiuly by French Canadians of the ruder class. Jonas had aroused the ire of some of the men, and him except in force, afraid arranged a plan by which he should be annihilated withoutthe possibility of a failure.

A lijht boat of zinc was full of strips of hippopotamus flesh, and the dingy was fastened alongsiie. Every one was soundly sleeping, when, says Sir Samuel, "I was suddenly awakened by a tremendous splashing close to the diahbeeah, accompanied by the hoarse wild snorting of a furious hippopotamus. I jumped up, and immediately perceived a hippo, which was apparently about to attack the vessel. My servant, Suleiman, was sleeping next to the cabin door. I c tiled to him for a rifle. Before the affrighted Suleiman could bring it, the hippopotamus dashed at us with indescribable fury. With one blow he capsized and sank the zinc boat, with ;ts cargo of flesh. In another instant he seized the dingy iu his immense jaws, and the crash of splintered wood betokened the complete destruction uf my favorite boat. By this time I had procured a rifle from the cabin,where they were always kept fixed in a row, loaded aud ready for action, with bags of breach-loadin- g ammunition ou the same shelf. The movements of the animal were so rapid as he charged and plunged alternately beneath the water in a cloud of foam aud wave, that it was impossible to aim correctly at the small but fatal spot upon the head. The moon was extremely bright, and presently, as he charged straight at the hahbeeah, 1 stopped him with a No 8 Kcilly shell. To my surprise he s been witnessed he appeared to be raving mad.

The priest at Grst professed joy at meeting him, and asserted that he had writteu many letters, seeYing to ascertain his whereabouts, but deuicd the possession of any funds to satisfy in whole or part the claim agaiust him.
