Mr. Bennett
A young man by the name of Bennett, eldest son of the widow Bennett of Conklin [Broome Co., NY] was thrown from a wagon on Friday evening last, and so much injured that he died on Sunday. He, with several other persons, we learn, was coming down the hill just above Squires' tavern with a team and hay rigging, at a rapid rate and full of frolic, when a portion of the hay rigging gave way, and Bennett and some of the others were precipitated under the wagon. One of the hind wheels passed over young Bennett diagonally from the groin to the side, causing his death in about two days. Another of the number, we understand, received a severe wound in the knee from a scythe which was on board the wagon at the time of the accident.

At Guilford, Chenango County, N.Y., Thursday evening September 3d, Mrs. Lucinda [Knapp], wife of Dr. Colby Knapp and mother of Mrs. D.S. Dickinson and Mrs. G.W. Hotchkiss of Binghamton [Broome Co., NY], aged 63 years. Woman, having fulfilled in a truthful and Christian spirit, the duties of a daughter, wife and mother; and coming to her rest in peace, her work all done, is the purest, brightest object which the eye ever rests on in this vale of tears. Such a woman was the deceased. Her whole life was devoted to an exemplification of the Christian graces. The mother of a large family, eight of whom are still living, the cares of her household, and a delicate constitution, did not prevent her living a life of active Christian benevolence. Her charities and affectionate counsels remain behind her as refreshing dews upon the heart. For forty years she was a worthy member of the Presbyterian church in Guilford; in whose grave yard her mortal remains now repose; while her memory, her kind heart, and worthy examples, are left to perpetuate her influence among all who knew her. The good we do dies not with us; but remains to encourage others in the labor of well doing.

The Rochester papers announce the death in that city, on the 23rd inst., of Gen. Vincent Mathews, LLD, aged 80 years. Gen. Mathews, says the Democrat, was a distinguished member of the legal profession, and at the time of his death, was, as is believed, the oldest practicing lawyer in the state. Gen. Mathew was born in Orange co., in this state [NY] in June 1766. He commenced the study of law in New York with the late Col. Robert Troup, in 1786, and was admitted to the bar in 1790. He subsequently moved to Elmira and was elected to the Assembly in 1793, and to the Senate in 1796. In 1809 he was elected to Congress. In 1816 he moved to Bath and 1821 to Rochester, where he resided until his death. The Democrat concludes its article with the following paragraph: "As a man, he was estimable in all the relations of life, winning affection and esteem by acting from the impulses of a generous heart. He was in truth profoundly respected and warmly beloved. An exemplary life was crowned by a Christian faith, as he was in the judgment of all, an humble and sincere Christian giving assurance that a life well spent here will be with him but the commencement of a glorious immortality hereafter.."

Drowned: On the morning of the 3d inst., a dead body was found in the Susquehanna river, about 2 miles below the village of Windsor [Broome Co., NY], and near the residence of Elijah L. Smith Esqr. The deceased (probably a foreigner) was some 35 or 40 years of age, about 5 1-2 feet in height, of a robust constitution, and apparently inured to hard labor. There was a prominent scar on the instep of the left foot. No marks of violence were discovered upon the body; which, as was supposed, had been in the water a number of days; and when found had on a pair of rack cloth pantaloons; and a pair of coarse boots were tied together and fastened below the right knee. As yet, no one has been able to ascertain either the place of residence or name of this stranger, nor by what attending circumstances he came by his untimely death. A few days previous however, some of the inhabitants observed an individual bearing his description, who manifested indications either of idiocy or partial insanity. The body was placed under the care of the overseer of the port, by whom it was decently buried in the afternoon of that day.
