Death of James Clapp, Esq.: It is with no ordinary emotions that we announce this sad event. Mr. Clapp died on Sunday morning of the present week. Having come to our village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY] at an early day, his life was strongly identified with its history. He came here in the pioneer days of the county, with a character peculiarly adapted to these early times, an independence at once marked and admirable, an ambition high and noble, and an ardor kindled by a conscious necessity of self dependence for whatever he should obtain of worldly fame and fortune. Mr. Clapp was a lawyer by profession, and by sterling integrity, ability and independence, achieved in its exercise a fame worthy of emulation, and which deservedly placed him among its most influential and honored members. He many years since withdrew from the active duties of his profession. He ever declined public honors and offices. Educated in the chivalrous period of American history, and mingling with the representatives of another generation, his views of strict accountability and integrity in places of public trust, and his contempt for the mean artifice and machinery of mere party strife would have rendered him unpopular in an age when success is everything. Its proper use of little consequence. Few men in private life were more extensively known. Rare conversational powers united with a wide range and versatility of knowledge, rendered him ever attractive and entertaining in the social circle. Most of the companions of his early life had already fallen, "weary with the march of life." How appropriately and earnestly does the successive departure from our midst of each representative of another generation, admonish us of that beautiful exhortation of Cicero, to the friends of his old age, that they ought so to regard the world as the traveler the inn by the wayside, making it a place of sojourn only in the pilgrimage to a fairer country, gilded by an enduring sunlight.
Death of Benjamin S. Twitchell: The truth of this appalling and tragic event comes to us confirmed by the testimony of the witnesses at the Coroner's Inquest. It was but a few months since that Mr. T. left his family in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], and sailed for California. Letters had been received but recently from him, expressing the determination to return and spent the remainder of his life among his friends in Chenango. The testimony fully explains the tragic end of his life ad his hopes. It shows conclusively that he was the object of a heartless and cold blooded murder, of which he was an innocent victim, and every incident connected with which proves it to have been in no manner the result of his own wrong. Mr. Twitchell was with a surveying party, and passing a disputed line was shot down by Samuel Gilmore who professed to have some interest in the disputed premises. He survived by 30 minutes after receiving the shot. Mr. T. was long and favorably known among us as a good citizen and a man of noble and generous impulses. He leaves a widow to mourn this sad bereavement.
