At the age of 92 years, Mrs. Susan SAGESER WATTS, on Monday evening, Jan. 30th, passed over the river of death into the "Land Elysian."

Nathaniel HARRIS, Oct. 3, 1790, to Catherine BRUNER, daughter of Henry BRUNER. Before his marriage to Miss BRUNER, he was employed by his wife's father to do a job of chopping; In the bargain, nothing was said as to what should be done with the timber cleared off. SAGESER took advantage of this by felling the trees from the piece he was cleaning into the adjoining woods, making double work for the next cleaning. While doing the job of chopping, this ould time lover courted and won the heart of Catherine BRUNER. Catherine's father approved of the proposed marriage, and lay low and kept shady till the wedding was over and the chain rivited fast, when he stepped in front and said: "Frederick, when you did that chopping for me, you cheated me. I have paid you my daughter for it and that is all you will get." This was told a few years before Mr. SAGESER's death in 1856. Mrs. WATTS was married to John WATTS about the year 1820.
