DIED on Monday morning the 22d inst. Mrs. JANE ROBINSON relict of Walter Robinson, Esq. Late of this town, in the fifty-ninth year of her age. In the death of this amiable Lady society has to lament the loss of an ornament not to be regained, her family an affectionate and loving mother, the distrest a sur comforter, and the needy that relief which her bountiful hand never withheld. She sustained with becoming patience and fortitude, a tedious and relentless disease, which finally triumphed over her delicate frame; and has cast a lasting gloom over those friends whom once she cheered and animated. Peace be with thee dear departed Shade! On the green turf which shall cover thy mouldering clay, let virtue and genius drop an honest tear! Died on Sunday the 28th inst. Walter Robinson, the youngest son of Walter Robinson, Esq. Of this place, aged 10 years, 8 months & 13 days, - Thus at an early period was snatched by death from his affectionate parents, brothers and sisters, a fine and promising boy, he is gone and they are left to drop the tear of sorrow for an irreparable loss. But let it be a source of consolation that whilst he lived he was beloved by all who knew him, and that virtue will meet its reward in that world to which we are all rapidly progressing.
