DIED,

Commodore Isaac Hull.
LONGEVITY.
"The days of our years arc threescore and ten,
and if by reason Of strength, they be fourscore,
they are full of labour and pain."
There died at Germantown, in Philadelphia
County. on the 4th of February, DOROTHY
soMERLOT, Widow, aged 1o0years, ~ months
and days. -.
She was born in Germany, and came to this
Country in her 14th year; in her 18th year she
married Jacob Dillman. Her second husband
was Philip Somerlot. She has been widow ,,5
years--has had 10 children, 50 grandchildren,
and % great, great grandchildren. Her memo.
ry. sight, hearing, and understanding, continued
unimpaired till her death. Long she had waited
in patient hope of a glorious res'ilrection-for
even 80 wears ago, she made her shroud withher
own hands, and laid by 20 Spanish dollars, as a
preparation for her funeral. Death was so slow
in its approach, that the intended shroud, when
opened, was found decayed beyond possibility
of use! She was member OF the Luthcrn
Church, and had marked in her German Psalm
Book, the 333d Hymn, of the Wrtelnbcrgh edi-
ton TO be sung at her burial; and also requested
her Funeral Sermon to be preached from the
1,2d Ps. 14th ": to wit-'eFhis (Zion,) is my rest
forever. here will dwell; for 1 hare desired it."
AT her special request, she was buried in a Pine
Coffin, and it was really efiectng sight, to see
SO many of her young descendants, with more than
common affection, lamenting at her funeral.
Wonderful would be the recitals Of such aged
persons, ifthey could give all the details Of the
incidents vhich they had witnessed in this rapidly
Changing country.

The project was opposed by Doct. San
Martin, a priest, and Mr.. Cauia, a lawyer,
on the ground that the people were not suffi-
ciently enlightened to receive it, and that to
sanction it were to endanger order and the
State. 1t however found several advocates,
able and eloquent-among whom were Mr.
Manuel J. Garcia, Minister of State, and
the enlightened and liberal minded Doctor
Manuel Moreno.
The late insurrection at San Juan, which
was got up by the priesthood, in opposition
to similar liberal measure in that Pro-
vince, has been (by force of arms) happi-
ly put down-the liberals, in one decisive
battle, having completely triumphed over
the fanatics. The leader who headed the
military, in that affair, has been executed,
and several of the priests have been BAN
|ished.-We hope the period is not distant
when we shall see completely eradicated-
not by the Szoord, but by Reason-that deep
rooted superstition and violent bigotry Sc
strongly indicative of state little removed
from that of a moral midnight.
