Cheever, of New Haven, Oswego Co., N.Y., aged 25 years and 2 months. On Easter Sunday, the day whose coming she had so joyfully anticipated; before the altar where she had so often knelt, lay all that was earthly of our friend. The home she has so long gladdened by her ministries of love, is indeed desolate, but those so dear to her "sorrow not as those without hope," believing that she has entered into rest.
"Take them O Death! and bear away / Whatever thou canst call thine own! / Thine image stamped upon this clay, / Doth give thee that but that alone!"
"Take them O Death! O great Eternity! / Out little life is but a gust, / That bends the branches of thy tree, / And trails its blossoms of the dust."

Fatal Accident in Masonville [Delaware Co., NY]: Mr. Russell Humphrey, met with a melancholy death on Thursday last. The Franklin Visitor says he was, for many years a resident of the town of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], where he has a large umber of friends and relatives. Some years since he removed to Patterson, Steuben Co. Penn., where he left a fine property and a numerous family. The past winter he and his wife have been visiting their friends in this vicinity, and they were making their last visit at a brother-in-laws Mr. John VanCise of this place, where he had been staying longer than he designed, waiting for better traveling. Last Wednesday he went into the woods with Mr. VanCise to chop. They chopped a large tree which in falling carried nearly down with it a small tree on which it finally rested. They both stepped to the bent tree and Mr. VanCise raised his axe to strike it, saying as he did so "It can't hit you can it?" Mr. Humphrey replied in the negative and the blow was struck. The tree flew diagonally striking Mr. H. with such force as to carry him several feet. He recovered sufficiently to walk to the house and lived twenty-eight hours after the accident, retaining all of the time his reason.

Died: In this village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], on the 26th ult., after a brief illness, Robert A. [Wheeler], son of John B. and Caroline Wheeler, aged 16 years. Robert A. Wheeler was endowed with an unusually even temperament, and being subjected from his earliest years to a Christian discipline, there was developed in his young life that circle of virtues which made him at once the dutiful son, the gentle and affectionate brother, the studious pupil, and the cheerful play fellow. If one trait in his character predominated it was his devotion to his mother, evinced by the most assiduous attention to all that could minister to her comfort. Always susceptible to religious impressions, Robert hopefully experienced some three years since that great change declared by our Lord necessary to fit one for a place in the kingdom if Heaven, since which time he has lived a consistent Christian life. Distrustful of his own strength, yet resolute in the discharge of duty, always eschewing evil, but never ashamed to do right, forgetful of his own, but always mindful of others pleasure, he has left us a pleasing, illustration of the truth, that wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness, and that all her paths are peace.
Died: In Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], on the 11th inst., Mr. Thomas L. Day, aged 60 years.

In Coventry, Chenango Co. [NY] on Tuesday the 3d inst., a little girl of Mr. Thomas Graves, aged one year and a half, was scaled to death. Her mother having occasion to use a dipper of hot water, placed it on a table and went to an adjoining room. While there, the little girl entered the room, took hold of the dipper, pouring the whole of the contents upon her, which scaled her terribly. She suffered amid excruciating pain until the next day in the afternoon, when death came to her relief. Franklin Visitor.
