The following character would have been inserted earlier, had it not been mislaid.
"To the unspeakable grief of a mourning wife, and the great loss of four desirable children, died of an odematous tumour, in the morning of the 26th of August last, at Springfield, in the borough of Elizabeth, in the 48th year of his age, Doctor JONATHAN DAYTON,1 who had practiced physick with great care, success and reputation of the space of 24 years, in that place and parts adjacent: and his remains were the next day decently interred in the burying-ground in the place, and a suitable sermon, from Mark 13, 37 was preached upon the occasion, by the Rev. James Caldwell.2
"He was eminent in his profession: warmly attached to the cause of his country : and shined as an husband, a father, a neighbour and a friend. In a word, his worth was best known to, and the loss sustained by his death most sensibly felt by his friends, and those among whom he practiced."
"On the 27th of October last departed this life, at West- field, in Essex county, the amiable consort3 of Doctor PHILEMON ELMER, in the 23d year of her age, the only child of Mr. Ephraim Marsh. The day following, her funeral was attended by a number of ministers, a train of mourners, and a large concourse of people. Upon which
1 Dr. Jonathan Dayton, not to be confounded with Dr. Jonathan I. Day- ton, also a medical practitioner of Elizabeth, was descended from Ralph Dayton, progenitor of the line in New Haven Colony and Long Island. Dr. Dayton was born in 1731, entered into the practice of his profession in that part of Elizabeth known as Springfield, and was one of the signers, in 1766, of the "Instruments of Association" of the New Jersey State Medical Society. When the British burned Elizabeth, in 1780, the Dayton house was one of the few saved, largely through the strategy of Dr. Day- ton's widow, Keturah, who died November 11th, 1798, aged sixty-three. Of the four children, there were Doctor William W. Dayton, who died March 5th, 1788, aged twenty-four years.

occasion a very pertinent and instructive discourse was delivered by the Rev. James Caldwell, from Isaiah 40; 5, 6, 7 and 8th verses. She was a dutiful child; an affectionate and agreeable wife; of a sweet temper and disposition ; the darling of her relations; beloved and admired by her acquaintance; hospitable to the poor; compassionate to the distressed; a pattern of modesty and worthy of imitation in her mien and deportment; an honour to her sex and all in connexion with her; has left two babes, a disconsolate husband and afflicted parents to bewail the loss which they have sustained by her death."
Sunday last about 50 British seamen, who had been taken on board different vessels at sea some time since, were marched thro' this place,1 on their way to Elizabeth- Town to be exchanged.
MR. COLLINS,
You may, if you please, insert the following repartee; which I think contains a great deal of delicate and gen- uine wit.
BONMOT.
A British officer in New York being in company with a lady whose sentiments were favourable to the cause of liberty, was making some severe remarks upon the American troops. However, Madam, said he. I think you have a Howe and a Clinton in your army. "We have, Sir," replied the lady,-"but you have not a Washington in yours."

Should the pocket book fall into dishonest hands, any person who will give information of it to the subscriber, so that he may obtain the money or secure the rogue, shall be entitled to the same reward of Eighty Dollars; but as the papers cannot be converted by any kind of knavery or legerdemain to be of use to any person whatever but the owner, be his inclination that way as great as it may, the subscriber flatters himself, that if any persons finds the pocket book, and feels no compunc- tion of conscience at converting the money to his own use, he will still have honesty enough to fall upon some method to convey the papers and letters to the owners, and cunning enough to conceal from what quarter they come. A letter, or any information sent to the post-office at Morris-town, will be gratefully acknowledged by HENRY BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON.1
