Friday, Jan. 10, 1812
   DIED, in Orange County, on the 21st of December last, COL. CHARLES 
CHRISTMAS, aged 40 years. He was the youngest son of a numerous and 
respectable family, and from his early youth enjoyed a large portion of the 
public confidence. Whilst a young man, he was promoted to the colonelcy of his 
county. He possessed the virtues and generosity and benevolence in a high 
degree; these virtues added to his agreeable manner secured to him the respect 
and esteem of all who knew him. By the poor of his neighborhood, who had 
always been the object of his liberal charity, he was ardently beloved.
  The death of COL. CHRISTMAS furnishes a further proof of that strange 
presentment which was evinced in the case of the younger LORD LITTLETON. For 
several months before his death, he had a presentment of his approaching end - 
he was in good health and spirits; yet the conviction that he was shortly to 
die, was so strong upon his mind, that he made his will, endeavored as fast as 
possible to settle his affairs. He was suddenly attacked with a violent 
pleurisy, which in five or six days terminated his life.
