A REvOLUTIONARY MATRON GONE.—Died in New
Prospect, Bengen county, on the 21th March, Mrs.
Charity Berry, at the extraordinary age of " one hun-
dred and ten years!" She was married during the Re-
volutionary War, and was the mother of thirteen chil-
dren, all of whom still survive! Her husband was cap-
tain of a militia company in active service, and who
aided in driving the British troops from Hoppertown.
Generals Washington and Lafayette together dined
with her one day, under the shade of a stately elm tree,
near her door--a circumstance she was fond of relating.
Her eyesight never failed in the least until her death,
and she was able to go about until about five years back,
since which she had lain in bed the greater part of the
time, although entirely free from disease. She was re-
markable for one thing—which may account in a great
measure for her prolonged life—she was noted for her
opposition to tight lacing.
ENTEIRONIZATION OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CAN-
TERBURY.—It is now definitively fixed that this cere-
mony shall take place at Canterbury Cathedral on Fri-

tion, as the nobility and gentry of the county, and of
the
extensive province over which the Archbishop pre-
sides, will assemble at Canterbury on the occasion. The
enthronement will take place between one and two in the
afternoon. It is understood that his Grace will con-
secrate the chapel at St. Augustine's College on the
29th, and preach a sermon at the Cathedral on the 30th.

ON SOCIETY AT VIENNA.--The rich and the noble
seldom inhabit the suburbs of Vienna; and notwith-
standing that the city possesses, in other respects, all
the advantages of a great capital, the good company
is there brought together as closely as in a small
town. These easy communications •in the midst of all
the enjoyments of fortune and luxury, render their
hibitual life very convenient, and the frame of society,
that is to say, its habits, usages, and manners, are ex-
tremely agreeable. There is simplicity, politeness, and,
above all, honesty in the good company of Vienna.
People are as punctual in their dinner and supper en-
gagements as they would be in the discharge of more
essential promises ; and those false airs which make
elegance consist in a contempt of the forms of politeness
have never been introduced among them. Nevertheless, one
of the principal disadvantages of the society of Vienna is
that the nobles and men of letters do not mix together.
The pride of the nobles is not the cause of this; but as
they do not reckon many distinguished writers at Vienna,
and people read but little, everybody lives in his own
particular coterie.
