There is darkness in the chamber, / There is gloom upon each face; / Empty stands the baby's cradle, / And a coffin in its place.
Fast the burning tears are falling, / On the face forever cold; / Oh, 'tis but a little coffin, / Yet a mother's heart doth hold.
There is wailing in the chamber, / Where sweet baby's voice was heard; / Baby's voice that came like singing, / of the earnest Spring time bird.
Oh, the great world justice onward, / But the mother's world is still, / Yet she murmurs mid her weeping, / 'Tis her Heavenly Father's will.

Died: In Franklin, Delaware Co., N.Y., Oct. 19th, after a lingering illness, Ichabod C. Foote, aged 71 years and 11 months. The deceased was for more than forty years an honored and faithful member of the Church of Christ and a beloved and affectionate husband, kind and tender parent, an esteemed citizen and true friend. He born his sufferings, which were severe, with great patience and true Christian spirit. No murmur or complaint escaped his lips, but would often say "God will do all things right; I am willing to go when the summons shall come." Though we mourn this sad bereavement, we feel that our loss is his eternal gain. A large congregation assembled at the funeral, and listened to an excellent sermon by Elder Adams, from 1st Peter, 1-3,4,5. Yes! the Christian's course is run; / Ended is the glorious strife; / Fought the fight - the crown is won. / Death is conquered; rest in life. Now the loved one is released, / Lightened of his fleshy load, / Where the weary are at rest, / He is gathered onto God. Kalamazoo Herald
Narrow Escape from being Buried Alive: The following statement is made of the narrow escape of a wounded soldier from being buried alive:
"After the battle of Newbern, NC., Geo. W. Green, a volunteer from Cooperstown, Otsego county, N.Y., was sent out with others to bury the dead. Among the bodies picked up by Green and his helpers was that of one Rufus Petty, from the same county. The body was placed on the stretcher and carried to the grave, Green, who had been familiar with Petty, tho't he would search his pockets to see whether there was anything that might be sent to his friends. In so doing he ran his hand up under his vest, and discovered that his heart was faintly beating. He announced the fact to his comrade, who said it couldn't possibly be, as the surgeon had made a thorough investigation of all on the field, and pronounced Petty, among the others, dead. he was told to place his hand over the heart, when he too became satisfied that there was life. Petty was subsequently carried to the hospital, and recovered. He returned home, as did Green, and both men were in Albany a few days ago."
