New York, January 23.  [15 lines regarding an aged couple,
married over seventy years, taking ill and dying within
hours of each other, the article ending with the following
poem] 
In matrimony's state how few there are,
That John and Nabby's fate can hope to share;
For length of days do seldom add to bliss,
And antient folks take trifles oft amiss:
Then let all those, that are by Hymen bound,
Pray for those Joys that John and Nabby found.
