The subject of this notice, possessed an amiable disposition by nature, which was improved by the sanctifying influences of the Divine spirit; early in life she sought and found the Saviour and ever after lived the life of the Christian. From early childhood she exhibited more than ordinary powers of mind, retirement, and studying the deep things of God and nature, was her delight, books were her choice companions. Never possessing a strong constitution, the body soon felt and manifested disease, aggravated by her close application of mind. On account of poor health she was subject, at times, to a depression of spirits. During her last sickness while the body was wasting away the soul was receiving the blessedness of the promise; "My grace is sufficient for thee." (Although this is not a death notice, I thought it of interest to post:) We see by the New York papers, that among the wounded who arrived at New York last week are the names of Albert SCHERMERHORN and R. BISHOP from this town they were members of the 43rd Regiment. Schermerhorn had a ball pass through his back, and Bishop was wounded in the right arm, which had to be amputated. Since the above was put in to type, Bishop has arrived in our village, and is doing as well as can be expected. 5/28/1862 DIED In this village, May 12th, of consumption, Elihu WARD, aged 42 years. In Laurens, May 19th, of dipthera, Willie, son of Samuel H. & Carolina HARRINGTON, aged 12 years. Also, May 21st, James, youngest son of Samuel H. and Carolina HARRINGTON, in the 7th year of his age. We remember them as beautiful, bright-eyed, healthy, affectionate children, intelligent beyond their years, and apparently destined long to make glad the hearts of their parents. Their good constitution, the skill of excellent physicians, the tender care of parental hearts, all, however, failed to baffle the dreaded diptheria, which now numbers them among its choicest victims. At Masonville, May 1st, Wm. WEST, aged 74 years. At Masonville, May 2d, Ethel, son of Ethel BIRCH, aged 3 years. 6/4/1862 MARRIED In Maryland, May 28th, by Elder J. Cooke, Mr. S. E.

In this death, community have lost a good and worthy citizen, a kind and obliging neighbor, upright and honest man, his sorrowing wife an affectionate husband. He bore his protracted sickness with patience and calm resignation-frequently expressing a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. We feel that our loss is his gain. 8/20/1862 MARRIED At Otego, Aug. 11th, by Rev. M. C. Bronson, Mr. Russell DREW (DREN?), to Miss Mary HARRINGTON, both of Laurens.

Ama was a child of more than ordinary physical and intellectual powers, and in him was centered all the hopes of a fond mother for the future. The gift of this child was to her a most merciful dispensation of Providence in this time of her afflictions, her husband having been stricken down by a disease of the heart in the fall of '59. By the same benignant hand he was removed from earth to a happier realm. 'Tis but a flower plucked from the twig of life to bloom anew in heaven. 11/26/1862 DIED In this village, on the morning of 24th inst., at the residence of her brother-in-law, William S.

Y., to this State, and 3 years and 6 months he resided in Geneseo, and during his residence here, has won a large circle of friends, who are left to mourn his sudden departure to the spirit land. Dr. D. was an active christian gentleman, being a member of the first Congregational Church of this place, and by his upright conduct and christian example, he proved a valuable member of that church. Only a few days before his death, he was taken with a severe pain in one of his legs, which continued until mortification set in, and at six o'clock, Saturday evening, he expired. He died as the christian dies, surrounded by his family and friends, who have the sympathy of our citizens in their bereavement. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. W. C.

Her illness (typhoid fever,) was of unusual severity and borne with submissive patience, in the hope of a blessed immortality.- [Com. In Milford, Otsego Co., N. Y., on the 11th inst., Rev. Levi J. LINCOLN, aged 26 years. The deceased was the recently elected Pastor of the Baptist church in that place, whom they had called to ordination just three weeks previous to his death. He was a young man of much promise, and was highly esteemed not only by the church, but by the whole community. Thus has one been removed in early life, who bid fair for great usefulness, and the church, for a second time within the brief space of a single year, deprived of its Pastor by death. Surely, "as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are God's ways higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts."- [Com.

Moulton. Bro. Moulton writes us:-"My house is left to me dissolute. My dear and devoted wife, the ever cheerful sharer of my joys and sorrows for more than eighteen years, has finished her life of pain and suffering. She ceased to breathe at five minutes before one o'clock, P. M., on the 19th inst. In her painful illness of over four months, grace has triumphed gloriously. Among her last intelligent words were, 'Christ is precious; there is rest for the weary; my Saviour will give me rest, for his promises are sure.' When past speaking, and apparently nearly unconscious, she was asked if Christ was still precious. She answered in the affirmative by the pressure of the hand and a sweet smile which still lingers upon her lifeless features. During her illness she often expressed her thankfulness that it was her lot to die among a people so unwearied in their efforts to alleviate her sufferings, and so full of sympathy and affection. I know that many dear friends in New York and Pennsylvania, in our old fields of labor, will rejoice to learn how peacefully she died, and, I trust, will not forget to pray for one whose deepest bereavement has overtaken him."-[Morning Star, Feb. 25th. At his residence in Oneonta, October 5th, Delos SHEPHERD, in the 41st year of his age. He had never made a public profession of faith, but from various evidences for a good number of years, we had thought him one of Zion's sons, and during his last illness, of three weeks, he was enabled, by grace, to declare what the Lord had done for him in the days of his youth, expressed unshaken "trust" in the Lord Jehovah, and said he had - No fear of death-no wish to stay, and made arrangements for his departure like one about to take a journey. We feel our loss keenly, but sorrow not as though we had not the blessed hope that our loss is his eternal gain. He has left behind aged parents, brothers and sisters, a lonely widow, and five children, to mourn. Sister Shepherd feels that though her earthly staff and stay is done, yet in heaven she had a better and an enduring substance. His funeral was attended on the 6th. An appropriate sermon was preached by Eld. St. John, from Hebrews ix 27, 28, to an attentive assembly. O, that the family may feel that this stroke is from the rod of their Heavenly Friend, and that he tempers the storm to the shorn lamb, and that a Father to the fatherless, and a Judge of the widow, is God in his habitation.

In this Death the aged parents are bereaved of the only child remaining at the parental home. She was in lifetime of a mild disposition and of a peaceable nature in all of her ways, and was often found to be in deep meditation, often heard to say I feel that somebody is dead; though this was a singular expression, yet it did often come to pass according as she affirmed it. In her last expiring moments she past away with a smile upon her countenance, that even the rigid hand of death could not remove. We trust that now her happy spirit rests in peace in the heavenly abode whilst her mortal body rests in the silent grave beneath the silent tomb there to await the morning of the resurrection of the dead.
