Died: In Delhi [Delaware Co., NY], on the 26th ult., Samuel T. McKoon, son of the late Prof, M.G. McKoon, formerly Principal of Oxford Academy, aged 21 years and 10 months. The proverb, "Death loves a shining mark," has never been more strikingly verified than in the case of this young man. Endowed with all those ennobling virtues which render life's fair morn replete with promise, he has been called from the society of friends on earth to join his beloved father and brother in the land of rest. May his mantle fall upon many of his young acquaintances, and his bright example serve as a star to guide them forward in the path of duty and morality. Few at his time of life have been gifted with so high a moral tone of character, or seemed more completely inspired with the presence of a superior Power. A widowed mother, a younger brother, and a large circle of friends mourn the loss. All who knew him will deeply sympathize with them in their bereavement.
Styles Fairchild, a resident of this town, near New Ohio [Broome Co., NY], a man 60 years of age, came to his death last Saturday, in a peculiar manner. There are conflicting rumors relative to the affair, and lacking any reliable information in regard to the facts, we can only say that he was kicked in the back by a neighbor, James Harrington, of this town [Greene, Chenanog Co., NY], causing an affection of the spine, from which he died in a few days. Whether the act was committed in anger we have not satisfactorily ascertained. A coroner's inquest has been held, and the Jury, rendered a verdict that deceased came to his death in consequence of injuries received at the hands of James Harrington. Greene American

Died: At St. Paul, Minnesota, on the 17th inst., Mr. William H. Clarke, formerly of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], aged 30 years. This brief notice contains all the particulars transmitted by the wires, of the death of one who had in our midst many friends, who will sincerely deplore his loss. So slight had been the tenure which Mr. Clarke had upon life, that anxious friends could scarcely have been surprised to have read this announcement at any time during the last five years. And yet so kindly did the death angel deal with our friend, that he suffered him to linger with a fond and devoted wife, and enjoy all the tender joys of social life, long after the first summons had warned him that he must ere long seek a better country. That summons while it compelled him to withdraw from the active business of life, in which he had ever sustained himself with honor and fidelity, directed him to seek his happiness in the cultivation of those social and domestic affections which nature had given him in good degree. Mr. Clarke was an exemplary member of the Protestant Episcopal Chruch. Thus from the confines of two worlds, with the innocent prattle of childhood, and the kind words of affection to solace his last hours, he has crossed within the vail and is hidden from our sight.
