On the 21st Instant, at Night, died ELIZABETH AL- LINSON, jun. Wife of SAMUEL ALLINSON, Esq; of Bur- lington, after a short Illness of a violent nervous Fever, and was on the 23d decently interred in the Burying Ground of the People called Quakers, at that Place. To her Memory it may be justly said, she was a good Wife; a very tender Mother; an affectionate daughter; a kind Sister; a warm and constant Friend; charitable to the Poor. She lived beloved by those who knew her, and died much lamented. In this distressing Situation, her af- flicted Husband has the consolatory Reflection, that after the tenderest Love subsisting between them, during the Time of their Marriage, the inward State of her Mind, several Times expressed by herself, pretty early, as well as in the latter Part of her Illness, gives the best Reason to believe she now enjoys the Rewards of a virtuous Life.
Early on the 22d, departed this Life ELIZABETH ALLIN- SON, aged about 70 Years.1 She was possessed of many good qualities, that endeared her to her family and Friends. For several Years past the Infirmities of old Age have impaired her Understanding, weakening all her Fac- ulties, at last gave her a quiet Exit out of this troublesome World. As she had always lived in great Harmony with, and much esteemed her Daughter, the Sorrow her Illness gave her, affords Reason to believe it was a Means of hastening the Mother's End. They were carried to their Graves together, attended by a great Number of Rela- tions, and Friends of all Denominations. The sudden Death of the First, in the Flower of her Time, and the

On my reading in your Chronicle, No. 78 and 79, some remarks made on a piece I happened to write, I expected that a calm review would have produced some proper con- cessions-but how greatly was I disappointed, when in- stead of the gentlemen themselves appearing, I found Mr. I. Y. (a very good man for ought I know) come forth, attempting, with some feeble acknowledgments, to cover their retreat, smooth matters over, and prevent any thing further being said. I hope therefore you will be kind enough to allow the following a place, as soon as couve- nient, in your extensively useful paper, which will much oblige your constant reader, and humble servant,

WHEN, upon my return from Synod, I wrote that letter to my friend which afterwards appeared in the Chronicle, No. 76, little did I expect it could have subjected me to such severe censure as I have since met with in No. 78 and 79 of the same paper; or that the sons of Levi, of the present day retained so much of their fathers temper (Gen. xlix. 5, 6) as those two reverend gentlemen have discovered who took it in their heads to give me a little clerical correction in behalf of the body.
