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.

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.

years. Mr. TRANGETT was a German veteran who accompanied La Fayette to
this country, and was at the battle of Yorktown.
At Troy, on the 22d instant, "Aunt Betty DOLE." From
calculations made
from the time when she first came to this country, she had reached the
great age of 135 years!-- She was a native of Africa, and was kidnapped
and brought to this country when she was 15 years old. 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.
At his residence in Port Gibson, on Monday the 17th instant, Mr.
Benjamin THOOB, aged 87.

years, David SHORT, aged 37.
