Another Revolutionary Patriot gone. 

James DUNCAN, of this vicinity, a soldier of the Revolution, departed
this life on Wednesday morning last, aged about 75. His remains were
attended to the place of sepulture on Thursday, by the Huntingdon
Volunteers, and interred with the honors of war. We regret that our
slight knowledge of the history of the worthy veteran renders us unable
to pay a proper tribute to his memory. We learn however, that during his
apprenticeship, whilst (unreadable) age of about 18 or 19, he enlisted,
with the (unreadable) of his master, into the regular army and served
under the immediate command of GENERAL WASHINGTON, during the greater
part of the revolutionary struggle. He participated in the battles of
Trenton, Princeton, Germantown, and (unreadable) in the last of which he
received a wound, the effects of which were visible till his death. Mr.
Duncan bore a character of an (unreadable) man and exemplary Christian.
