George Sharpe, and daughter of Mr. Daniel Loomis of this town, aged 49 years.  It is seldom we are called upon to record the death of an individual who, though moving in a humble sphere, was more worthy of the respect and esteem of the community in which she lived. She was ever ready to the wants of others, and many a weary hour had she spent by the bedside of sickness and death.  To her family and friends her loss is irreparable, nor will she soon by forgotten by her numerous friends and acquaintances.

Died in Hospital:  We regret to learn of the deaths in hospital at Aquia Creek, Va., of Charles J. Robinson of Preston [Chenango Co., NY] on the 30th Jan. last, and of Frederick H. Dobson of this town [Oxford Chenango Co., NY], on the 1st of Feb. inst.  Both were members of Co. K, 10th Reg't N.Y.S.V., known as the Oxford Cavalry, and went from our midst in apparently sound health late last fall. They were brave boys, and we doubt not, had the choice been with them, would have preferred dying face to the enemy in battle, to the slow wasting of disease in hospital.
