Married: In this village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], on the 25th ult., by the Rev. J. G. Bartholomew, Mr. Prentice Evans, to Miss Lydia M. Clark, both of Preston [Chenango Co., NY].
Died: At the residence of his father, near the village of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], on the 25th inst., DeLoss H . Owen, aged 24 years. In the early Summer of his life, in the beautiful month of June, the spirit of our friend, has passed from the alternating lights and shadows of earth, to the changeless realities of eternity. Seemingly strange to us, kind to him, in the order of Providence, were the successive vicissitudes of his earthly pilgrimage. Not all at once, but one by one, through days of suffering and nights of sorrow, were the sources of human enjoyment cut off, and the objects that make life desirable removed from view in the progress of his spiritual development. Thus step by step, upon the ruins of the material, was built up the beautiful fabric of the spiritual. He was endowed with a refined taste, a keen discernment of beauty, and harmony in art and nature, a heart moved by kind and generous impulse. As rested the cloud, shadow upon his native hills, he learned confidingly, hopefully to rest in God, when the objects and the pleasures which made the future radiant with hope, and vanished from his horizon. He has left behind him a name that will awaken kindly recollections in them who knew him.

Fatal Accident: On Monday evening, as Capt. Alson Upham and his wife, father and mother of the Upham brothers lately doing business in this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co., NY], while riding from Earlville to their home in the North part of this town, were, by some cause to us unknown, thrown from their wagon, and striking the ground with such force as to fracture the skull of the old lady, who died Tuesday morning at six o'clock, and cutting a severe gash in the head of Mr. Upham. Mrs. Upham was 71 years old. She was enjoying good health, and it was her usual custom to drive the horse to this village every two weeks, alone. This she had done for a long time. At the time this happened, the wife and brother of A.G. Upham had just received a letter from the physicians of St. Joseph, Mo., stating that he was lying dangerously ill of the cholera, in that city, and on the morning the old lady died the wife and brother of A.G. Upham started West to see him. From the tone of the letter they received, they expected to find him a corpse, which we sincerely hope they will not. Sherburne Trans.I

Her death was a peaceful resignation into the hands of God. Just anterior to her departure she expressed a desire to see her children,. They were brought into the room when with calm, mild and Christian philosophy, she addressed them as follows: "Be kind to one another, be kind to papa, deal tenderly with the little ones." After which she turned her eyes in the direction of her husband and said, "oh my dear mother!" and sank away to breathe no more. Oh evil men, to die like this / Ten thousand worlds would give / The only way to reach that bliss / Will be like her to live. Clinton, NC. Independent.
