Go to the grave but not to weep, / Nor bathe with tears her early tomb / That precious seed and angels keep / Til thence the memorial flower shall bloom. / Go to her grave, but not to mourn / That she was so fair, so bright / [...unreadable...]

Terrible Accident:  From a letter received in this village a few days since we learn than an accident occurred at the house of Nehemiah Angel, in the town of Lincklaen [Chenango Co., NY] on the 12th inst., which in its consequences was truly heartrending.  Mr Angel was engaged in making some sort of medicine, the principal part of which was alcohol, when through some misstake of his it became ignited from the fire in the stove and spreading through the whole room, filled it with a blaze of fire.  There were six persons in the room and all were badly burned, one a child of Freeman Brooks, son of Luther Brooks, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], having since died, while the others are not yet considered out of danger. The house was almost demolished by the explosion.
