of Revolutionary times, has at last ceased to spare. Mrs. Hamilton died at her residence in Washington on Tues- last, at the advanced age of ninety-seven years, in full possession of all her mental faculties, and attended by her loving and beloved children. Mrs. Hamilton was the daughter of General Phillip Schuyler, of this state, whose services in the Revolutionary war form a marked page in the history of the United States. She was born in the old Schuyler mansion, at Albany, on the 9th of August, 1757, and in 1780 married Alexander Hamilton, then a colonel in the United States army, and one of the aids to General Washington. How this colonel rose to the rank of a general and became also one of the most illustrious statesmen of his country, is well known to our readers, and the deserved eulogium of Mrs. Hamilton is that she was'a wife worthy of such a husband. After the death of General Hamilton in July, 1804, Mrs. Hamilton resided for some time in New York and devoted her life to acts of benevolence. She was one of the founders of the New York Orphan Society, and was for many years its presiding officer.
During her residence at Washington, Mrs. Hamilton had weekly reception mornings when she welcomed her friends, but she seldom went herself into general society. The death of Mrs. Hamilton was caused by no marked disease, but the gradual decay of the vital powers pro- duced alone by extreme age. Her remains have been brought to this city, and the funeral will take place this afternoon at one o'clock, at Trinity church. With Mrs. Hamilton passes away the last, we believe, of the dis- tinguished women of the American Revolution .- N. Y. Courier and Enquirer.
