In this village [Binghamton, Broome Co., NY], on Tuesday last, at 11 o'clock P.M., Mr. Robert Eldredge, aged 24 years.  The deceased has been for several years engaged in active business in Binghamton, and with the extensive circle of his acquaintances has always been distinguished for the strictest integrity and the purest moral conduct. Warm in his affections for friends and devoted in his attachment to his family, his death has caused a wound in their hearts, which time can not heal, and left a vacant place in the social circle and by the fireside of his home, which no other one can fill.  His painful sickness of two weeks duration was borne with patience and fortitude; and a short time before death he expressed his perfect willingness to give back his soul into the hands of his Maker.  His family have the sympatheis of the whole public; consolation, they scarcely need, for we can but trust that the spirit of one so kind and good has found rest in Heaven.

In Windsor [Broome Co., NY], on the 18th inst., Addison C. Spencer, aged 41 years. A valuable citizen, a consistent christian, an honest man, as such his loss will be severely felt in the community.

In South Windsor [Broome Co., NY], on the 8th inst., Capt. Timothy Beebe, aged 76 years and 20 days.  Capt. B., had been a resident of this place more than 40 years, and has sustained a spotless reputaiton.  He died universally regretted, and has left behind him a character for honesty and integrity unsurpassed.
