Died:  In this village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], on the 4th inst., Jane Eliza [Judson], only daughter of Mr. Philo Judson, aged 26 years.  The decline which terminated in her death, commenced more than three years since, while ministering at the bedside of a dying brother and mother, and occasioned by the exhausting labors and harrowing anxieties which these pious duties devolved upon her, was sensibly though gradually bearing her towards the tomb.  Her disease, with the usual deceitfulness of consumption gave her repeated and oft renewed hopes of recovery and restitution to her friends and society  Yet, while trusting to be restored to health, she sought and obtained a preparation for the sad event, which disarmed death of all its terrors, and enabled her to meet it with the calmness, the fortitude, and the triumph of a Christian hope.  She bore her painful sickness with unmurmuring resignation. A widowed Father, and bereaved brothers, are left to mourn their loss; and a large social circle in whose joys and labors she had been from infancy an active participant is sadly sensible that death has invaded its charmed precincts.
