    3. Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY February 15 1838 DIED.--At Pembroke, on the Morning of the 4th inst. Mrs. Susanna WALLIS, wife of the Rev. Hugh WALLIS, aged 64. In early life, she made a profession of religion, and became a member of the 1st Presbyterian Church of Hudson, N.Y. at its organization. On her marriage in 1808, she removed to Pompey, then the scene of her husband's labors. For more than twenty of the last years of her life, she resided in this county, where she labored with commendable zeal in the cause of her Master. To her highly cultivated mind, was added warm but unostentatious piety. As a christian, she was exemplary; as a wife, affectionate; as a mother, watchful and ceaseless in parental assiduities; as the companion of a clergyman, courteous and urbane. Her last hours were distinguished for calm resignation and joyous confidence in God. She died as she lived, a firm believer in the doctrines of the Bible. Though friends and bereaved relatives drop tears of affection on her grave, yet to them she has bequeathed the sweetest consolation, in leaving behind the fullest evidence that both the death and awards of the righteous, were hers. + + Eighteen Senators of the state of N.York, have at length deliberately taken the responsibility of saying to their constituents, that the people's will is to be set down as naught. The servants have said to their masters, "we are better qualified to judge of what is for your benefit than you are yourselves." Will the people submit to this dictation from their Senators? Will they not rather firmly resolve to hurl with indignation, from the places they occupy, the men who have laughed to (missing word) their clearly expressed wishes? We have yet to see what farther action the Assembly will take upon this important question, and we wait the issue in perfect confidence of their firmness, and determination to do their duty. -Buff. Com. Adv. + + Wheat and Flour--Wheat is abundant at $1 per bushel, which is a shade too high, when it is considered that flour will not command $5 per bbl. in large quantities. The great quantities of flour in store at various points, and the unusually large crop of wheat last year, added to money being ver scarce, and daily growing more so:--all these causes justify the belief that grain of every kind, flour, and other produce, must yet experience a still farther decline. Indeed we are assured by intelligent farmers that the country is full of everything, and if our currency was better, our market would be overflowing with all kinds of produce. --Pittsburgh Intel. + + submitted by Linda C.
