Died: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on the 24th ult. Mrs. Mary E. Dodge, wife of Mr. John Dodge, and only daughter of the Hon. Charles York, aged 21 years and about 10 months. The deceased very early in life, believed the Gospel, and turned to the Lord. She united with the Baptist Church, in Norwich, and has ever since sustained an excellent character respected and beloved by all her acquaintances. A general sympathy is felt with her bereaved husband and her father's family in their early loss. But, though cut down in the bloom of youth and in the midst of prospects the most flattering, her affectionate and afflicted husband and friends have great relief and comfort in the manner of her departure. "The peace of God which passeth all understanding kept heart and mind through Christ Jesus." Taking an affectionate leave of the whole family individually, she manifested clear views of the heavenly glory, an unshaken hope, perfect peace, joy unspeakable and full of glory, and sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus, God will bring with him." Thess. 4, 14.

Drowned: We regret o learn that a little child of Jas. D. Ludington? Esq., of Plymouth [Chenango Co., nY], was drowned in a creek near the settlement on Tuesday afternoon of last week. He was between four and five years old. While attempting to walk across a pole from one side of the creek to the other, he fell in and before proper assistance reached him he was dead. It is said that an old man was at the side of the stream in time to save the child, but he was so decrepit that he feared to enter the water.
The Lost Body Found: Our readers will remember that in February we gave an account of an accident which happened to Mr. Emerson Gibbs, on the evening of the 13th of that month while he was driving, with his wife and little girl across the river bridge on the road leading from this village towards Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]. The child was lost, and a long search for the body proved unavailing. The agony of the parents was, of course, terrible. The recovery of the body would have been a source of some gratification to them. That search was at last given up. On Friday afternoon of last week, James Wescott was proceeding down the bank of the river on the east shore, and when just near the south line of the farm of T.W. Hake of Polkville, saw what he thought to be clothing floating near the top of the water. He took measures to ascertain whether the clothing was attached to a body, and finally drew out Mr. Biggs little child. We are glad that this body has been found. The bereaved parents will be thankful for the consolation of knowing where their babe is laid and in place of the aching pain of uncertainty as to the spot where its little bones were bleaching, they can now feel something of joy when they visit the spot which they know to be its resting place.

Died: PIKE: In North Norwich [Chenango Co., NY] on Saturday morning, June 15th, of consumption, Carlos King Pike, Esq., aged 49 years.
Mr. Pike was a son of the late Samuel Pike, Esq. of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY]. He had been for a good many years a prominent citizen of that town, and upon the separate organization in 1840, was for two successive years elected as its Supervisor. He was appointed one of the original members of the Board of Commissioners of -?- of the county, and continued to discharge the duties of the trust to the general acceptance of the community, until his decease. He was frank and upright in business, strong in his attachment to friends and in principles; liberal minded as a citizen and obliging as a neighbor. His death will prove a loss alike to the public and an interesting family thus deprived of their head.
Soldier's Letter - Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, June 5, 1861
Headquarters 1st Zouaves, Camp Lincoln, Washington, D.C., May 28, 1861
My Dear Father and mother: The Regiment is ordered to move across the river tonight. We have no means of knowing what reception we are to meet with. I am inclined to the opinion that our entrance to the city of Alexandria will be hotly contested, as I am just informed that a large force arrived there today. Should this happen, my dear parents, it may be my lot to be injured in some manner. Whatever may happen, cherish the consolation that I was engaged in the performance of a sacred duty; and tonight, thinking over the probabilities of tomorrow, and the occurrences of the past, I am perfectly content to accept whatever my fortune may be, confident that he who noteth even the fall of a sparrow, will have some purpose even in the fate of one like me. My darling and ever loved parents, good bye. God bless, protect and care of you. Elmer
