Mrs HANNAH PHILLIPS, an old lady who
has resided on Squan Beach for many years
died at the residence of her daughter, the widow
Achy Ortley on Tuesday last, in the enc hun
drsd and eighth gear Of her age. She enjoyed
extraordinary health and retained full posses

existence Hegeye-sight wasaremarkably good;
few days before her death she saw pin ly-
Ing on the floor some distance from her, and
requested oae of her great grand children to
pick it up. She conyersed frequently and flu
emily of the Revolutionary war, and many
we're the ncd ents she woufd relate Of these
days. Her husband was enc Of the defend

Gus attacks of that band known as the " Pine
Robbers" who infested that part Of the coun-
~ of Monmouth. She never received pen
sion, but has now entered upon her reward
Mrs Phillips was well known throughout this
section of the State, and abroad by many who
visited the beach on cunning and other ex-
cursons For the above particulars We are

likeIavors, will please accept our thanks.

Death of TWO Centenarians.

We record the, remarkable fact that

thirst ia the memorable battle of Monmouth
She heard the shrieks and groans of the dy-
ing, and could portray wildly, in her uncorth
way, the incidents connectedi with those times
that tried me1's souls. She said that when
about fourteen years old, on one occasion her
master found the British approaching, and to
save her he threw her under brush heap

The other Aunt of whom we record, died
in our village, at the residence of N. NJ Dis

the various branches of that family during the
most Of her life, and was considered by them
as one of the household

these women is that they had always been ac-
