DIED.-At Alexander, on the 12th instant, Mrs. Tryphena HAWKINS, Consort of Henry HAWKINS, Esq. in the 31st year of her age. Public taste has very justly condemned those lengthy, pompous and heartless eulogiums of the dead, which frequently occupy the columns of our journals to the exclusion of more valuable matter, and which are betowed indiscriminately on the meritorious and undeserving. But surely those amiable qualities of mind which so eminently distinguished Mrs. HAWKINS, and endeared her to a large circle of friends and acquaintences, may be allowed this brief notice; this passing, modest tribute of sincere and disinterested praise. It affords a sort of sad satisfaction to the living to bear testimoney to departed worth, though their commendations fall on "the dull cold ear of death." So long as those traits of character which command the esteem of the good and virtuous continue to be duly prized, so long, in respect to the circle of friends who so deeply deplore her loss. Mrs. Hawkins "will live upon all memories, though with the buried gone." Communicated. * In this village, on the 11th inst. Mr. Alfred TUTTLE, aged 27 years, formerly from Minisink, Orange co. ***
