Death
Died at Plattsburg [Clinton Co. NY] on the 2d inst., Mrs. Elizabeth Addoms in the 92d year of her age. She retained the full possession of her faculties until a short time before her death. Her understanding and hearing continued to her last moments. She had no sickness, nor did she complain of any pain, but a difficulty of breathing, which continued to increase until she resigned her soul into the hands of her adored Saviour. In the merits of his blood, she had an unbounded faith and a full confidence of salvation through his atonement. Her last words were full of consolation to her family and friends, "Why will ye strive longer to detain me from the Glory of God in Heaven? come Lord Jesus, come quickly."

10 Dollars Reward
Run away from the subscriber on the 16th instant, a Negro wench named Dine about thirty-five years of age, of middling size, strong and healthy; wore when she went off, a blue striped woolen short gown, blue linsey petticoat, and a new black leghorn bonnet. Took with her, her own black male child, about six months old, named Jim. she speaks Dutch as well as English, having been principally brought up in Dutch families.
It has been conjectured that she has been decoyed away and may have got onboard of some vessel and gone to New York. Or in company, perhaps, with some black man, may have gone up the Mohawk River, where she said she had children. She once run away from her former master and rambled into Connecticut, where she was taken up and brought back.
The conduct of this servant is peculiarly ungrateful. I had owned her but about two months, during which time she had never been put to hard service or ill-treated. I had engaged to give her the privilege to look herself a rich master, should she be discontented and besides had promised to free her in six years form the time I purchased her, provided she behaved well.
Any person who shall take her up and return, or secure her, so that I can obtain her, shall be entitled to the above reward and all reasonable charges.
If decoyed away, she may be offered for hire or sale and thus detected.

During the storm Monday afternoon O.D. Beaman, a well-known and highly respected citizen was drowned in the Susquehanna River, nearly opposite the Water Works in that city. The Times gives the following particulars:
It appears that Mr. Beaman, his son Frank, aged about 18, and Mr. A. Freeman, had been sailing on the river in the yacht "Aura," and discovering the heavy clouds in the west, they undertook to turn the craft around and at the same time lower the sail and make for the shore. Some obstacle prevented the lowering of the sail in time to avoid the squall, and a violent gust of wind struck the boat sidewise and capsized it. For one or two minutes, the party endeavored to keep the boat righted, but at last finding it impossible, they abandoned the boat and attempted to reach the shore. Mr. O.D. Beaman and Mr. Freeman swam away to the shore first, Frank following, he being the last to leave the boat.
The waves rolled heavily and appeared to be over the heads of all. Frank and Mr. Freeman struggled on, regaining breath after each wave. Finally, with great exertion, the two reached one of the log rafts near the shore and were saved.
Mr. Beaman was not so fortunate. Spectators say that he seemed to be drawn down by the huge waves coming in contact with each other about eight or ten feet from the craft which he was trying to reach, and he was not seen again alive. The body was recovered about two hours after the accident.
