The man at Bunker Hill who belonged to no regiment, and no company, and was fighting on his own hook, is well remembered.
Another man of the same stamp has been found in New Hampshire.
The Littleton (N. H.) Journal says, that as soon as tidings of the threatened attack on Washington reached that town, Mr. Benjamin W. Kilburn took down his rifle and started for the nation's capital, to aid in its defence.
He is said to be an excellent marksman, and anxious to cover a fighting Secessionist with the sight of his gun. He bears his own expenses in the service of his country.
Such promptitude equals that of John Stark of Revolutionary memory.--New Haven Palladium, May 6.
