DIED
Dec. 31st, in this city, Mr. Francis JOHNSON, a native of Ireland. His sickness which was consumption, was protracted and severe, but was bore with christian patience, and a joyful hope of eternal life.  His character as an affectionate son, an upright man and a true follower of Christ--Is highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was an ornament to his native and adopted country, and to the Church of Christ--- a very large funeral concourse testified their universal respect for his memory. He sleeps in Jesus. He held an humble place on earth, but I doubt not a glorious station in Heaven.    Paston.

At Churchville, on the 16th instant, Frances N., daughter of Erasmus C. and Caroline DIBBLE, aged four years. Her musical powers were remarkable for one of her age. One of her last efforts was singing distinctly a line or two of one of her favorite hymns,  And we trust her infant voice is now mingling with the perfect Choir in Heaven where praise will never end.

Justice Warner, Presiding.
STEALING CLOTHES.----Elizabeth WANN and Ann MULIMER were arraigned for stealing female clothing from the premises of Dr. CHIPMAN and Ezekiel FOX, and committed for further examination. The clothes were taken from both places, we believe, three or four months since, and a part of them were found on the persons of the girls.-- Ann, it may be recollected, figuered very conspicuously during the trial of a certain legal gentleman, charged with a severe crime, some months since.

STEALING PIGS.----Robert PROVOST, a yellow covey, may be a gentile, but he is certainly not a Jew, if we are to judge him by his partiality for hog flesh. Bob is peculairly fastidious about this kind of meat. Your stout porkers, weighing from 250 to 400 pounds, he has the greatest aversion to. After hanging about the market and the wagons from the country, for some time, to obtain his winter supply of the tender, delicious article, without success, he recollected having seen, during his rambles, two fine, plump pigs, belonging to Samuel DOTY, on High street, and thither he repaired on Saturday, and having succeeded in finding the young porkers, drove them home, knocked them in the head, and dressed them in his garret. To this proceeding Mr. DOTY took exceptions, and Const. GOODRICH was authorized to greet Bob "in the name of the people."  After a long examination this morning, in which most of the witnesses were "brack ladies and gemmen ob color," Bob was sent to the Island, to await further orders.

ASSAULTING AN EXPRESS.----Christopher SIMMONS was arraigned for an assault and battery on Henry WELLS, an agent of Pomeroy's Express, committed at the railroad depot between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday morning, soon after the arrival of the cars from the east. Christopher is a porter of the U.S. Hotel, and among the passengers whom he solicited to take the omnibus for that house, were a gentleman and lady from Vermont, whose baggage had previously been delivered to the porter of the Eagle Hotel. They seemed to hesitate as to which omnibus to take, when Mr. WELLS remarked that "he was going to the Eagle."  To this Christopher replied, that Mr. W. had some sinister motive in persuading passengers to go to the Eagle; that "he would either get his breakfast free, or 50 cents in change." Words ensued between the two, when Christopher clinched Mr. W., who was cumbered with a buffalo robe and a carpet bag, and threw him down two or three times, and kicked him once in his face, without apparent attempt on his part to injure the assaulter. These we believe to be the essential particulars of the affray. Christopher was required to give bail in the sum of $200, which was readily procured.

When she first came to Troy there were but two homes in this vicinity, and but a few in Schenectady, and New York was a wilderness.
