Died: In Brockport, Monroe country, N.Y. on the 27th ult., Mrs. Caroline R. [Brewster], wife of Mr. F.W. Brewster, aged 32 years. For months past, she had been in declining health which led her friends to fear that at no very distant day, they should be deprived of her very interesting society; and her husband and two interesting daughters, of an excellent wife and mother. But a Hemorrhage of the lungs, that commenced seven days before her death, hastened on the parting hour. She was of that class of wives and mothers, whose price is above rubles. She was an exemplary Christian; and those who surrounded her dying couch, witnessed the covenant faithfulness of an unchanging God, who has promised never to forsake those who put their trust in Him. And from her calm and affectionate exhortation to her husband and friends, to take Jesus Christ for their portion, and the confidence with which she committed her little daughters to her dear Savior, just as she was departing to her eternal rest, led them to believe of a truth "that blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

Died: PARMELEE: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on Wednesday afternoon, the 2d inst., Dr. Edward H. Parmelee, aged 52 years. The remains of the deceased were taken to Fly Creek, Otsego County [NY] where they were interred on Friday afternoon the 4th inst. Dr. Parmelee was a native of Killingworth Ct. came early to Springfield, Otsego County where he spent the greater period of his life. He removed from Cooperstown to Norwich in 1845 commenced the business of dentistry, and became a practical physician in his own house, which has been the resort of numerous invalids and patients from various sections of the country. As a dentist and physician, in his family, Dr. Parmelee is thought to have had few superiors or more successful ingenious affable, kind, and patient to a remarkable degree, he succeeded by these qualities in inspiring confidence in those about him, and will be remembered with grateful affection by many who are now enjoying health as the result of his untiring industry and skillful management, which, at the same time had much to do with confirming his own consumptive habit, and maturing the disease of which he died. The Doctor indulged a Christian hope and united with the Presbyterian Church at the early period of fifteen years of age but, through embarrassment in business, worldly cares and other influences which overbear the religious sentiment, since his settlement in Norwich until his last sickness, the subject of religion, as a personal matter had been measurably ignored. Still we are not without satisfactory evidence that the Doctor died in the consolations of Christian hope. His words as always on the subject of religion were few, but his few expressions to his family and pastor were full of comforting import, his prayers were earnest, his maternal education was called to mind and his assurance of pardon through atoning merit, certainly gave cheering evidence that his unusually quiet departure was the result of faith as well as of a subdued native disposition and temper. This to the widow and children remaining when they think of him as he was in health, in his sickness, as he is in the burial place of his earlier and later home, resting peacefully and quietly will prove a richer source of comfort than all kindly words of sympathizing friend. When a true and, faithful husband, a kind and,patient father, and a generous friend has departed, it is something--more than all--to hope that he rests in Heaven.

Sad Occurrence: The wife of Rev. L. L. Gage of DeRuyter [Madison Co., NY] came to her death, on Sunday evening last, under circumstances peculiarly painful. She had been subject to fits of insanity for a long time, and had been in the Asylum at Utica, whence she was taken some months since, in a condition apparently much improved, though occasionally showing unmistakable evidences of aberration of mind. Attending a funeral on Sunday no doubt produced a sudden depression of feeling, and at about ten o'clock in the evening she was missed from her accustomed place in the house. After a long search, her bonnet was found on the banks of Mr. Simeon Rider's Tannery pond, and her body was finally recovered from the deep water below the dam, long after life had become perfectly extinct. This painful occurrence has cast a gloom over the whole community and has deprived a devoted husband of a young, interesting and lovely wife, and a small child of a fond mother.

Anson Burlingame, of Massachusetts is well known to the world. In 1821 our lamented sister professed religion and united with the M.E. Chruch in which she lived a consistent member until she joined the church triumphant. Soon after she was taken ill she remarked that it was her last sickness and added "It is better for me to depart and be with Christ." Calmly and cheerfully she at once arranged her -?- and spoke affectionately of her children and [arranged] her final affairs. [...unreadable...] Not a murmur escaped her lips until after midnight, on the third day of her sickness, her patient, gentle spirit went to dwell in that bright world where "there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away."
