Deaths
Died, in this village [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY] on the 1st inst., Mrs. Abagail Paine in the 88th year of her age; one of the earliest emigrants to this county. The life of this "Mother in Israel," afforded in a large degree, a transcript of practical religion bright and brightening to the last. Faith, which works by love, as she cherished it in life, with untiring fidelity, supported her in death. Let this be told of her. Let her posterity cherish her memory embalmed with this. It is more than volumes of eulogy.

At the residence of Colonel M. Townsend, Cedar Swamp, Long Island [NY] on Tuesday last, Mrs. Frances P. Lupton relict of the late Lancaster Lupton.
Death loves indeed a shining mark. Mrs. Lupton was one of the most estimable and accomplished of her sex. To her friends - and who in the wide circle of her acquaintance, was not her friend - she was a guide and an example, eminently so, - winning by the gentleness and kindness of her manners, by her affability and her ever indulgent charity of opinion, their unqualified confidence and esteem. To rare personal accomplishments, she added varied mental attainment. In the walks of literature and the fine arts, as in the domestic circle, she sought, by the exercise of the higher faculties of a cultivated mind, to contribute to a never-failing source of self-gratification, the happiness of others. She was a patron of the arts, not only in the productions of her pencil, but in the taste which she successfully cultivated herself and infused among others. Mrs. Lupton was a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal church and she illustrated the purity of her faith in a life of philanthropy and Christian and social charity, and in the exercise of those practical virtues which adorn and exalt humanity, and fit it for the perfection of which in another state, it is susceptible. This is indeed, in the midst of the grief of friends, a high and cherished source of consolation. Albany Argus

Miss Phebe Elizabeth [Moon] daughter of John Moonb, in the 14th year of her age, suffering severely from distress after a short illness of only five days, which she bore with unexampled patience. In recording the death of this young lady, we feel in no ordinary degree the loss sustained by the event. Her death has created a void in the bosom of her family which cannot be filled by transitory things. A Father, Mother, Brothers and Sisters are bereft of one that was near and dear to them.

News Item
There is now at Washington, a man by the name of Andrew Wallace, applying for an increase of pension, his present allowance by government amounted to twenty-six cents per diem. He is 103 years of age, having been born in Inverness, Scotland, March 14, 1730, and arrived in America in 1752, and his present residence is in Chester Co. Pennsylvania. He retains a fine intelligent countenance and the full possession of his faculties, though his body continually shakes from paralysis.
He was a soldier at the battle of Culloden, Scotland, on the side of the Stuarts. He was, after his arrival in his country, appointed an orderly sergeant, above which post he never rose, and fought both in that war, and in several battles in the revolution. He was engaged in the battle of the Iron Hills, under Col. Wayne, and in the battle of Brandywine, where he aided in carrying Gen. Lafayette off the field when wounded. He was in the Mohawk War in 1785, and in the Indian war of 1791, and was in the terrible slaughter, called St. Clair's defeat, in which he was wounded in the right arm by a ball. His arm was so injured that it has never since been straight. He nevertheless remained in the army and was in the battle fought by Wayne with the Indians in 1794. He afterwards served five years in the 3d U.S. Sub. Legion, under Capt. Pike, the father of the late General. When the legion was dissolved, he fell into the 2d Regiment in Capt. Schuyler's Company and was at last marched to New Orleans in 1812 in the regiment commanded by Col. Thomas Cushing, and was finally discharged in 1813, at the age of eighty-three by Gen. Wade Hampton, on account of disability. He is poor, has a wife and two children, the youngest about 15 years of age.
