Death of Miss Harvey: The telegraph brought us news, a few days since, which has cast an unwanted shadow of gloom over our little community. Miss Harriet Elizabeth Harvey, daughter of U.T. Harvey of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], left home to visit friends in Whitewater, Wisconsin, where she had just arrived, when she was attacked with diptheria. Only one day's notice of his illness preceded that of her death. Mr. and Mrs. H. started immediately on receiving news of her illness, but the sad tidings of her death met them at Buffalo. Mrs. H. returned, but Mr H. proceeded on his sorrowful journey, and returned with the remains of his loved daughter on Saturday evening last. The funeral services were attended today by a large concourse of deeply sympathizing friends. Seldom have the sympathies of our community been more deeply stirred. The deceased, whose age was 26 years, was a model of physical health and vigor, and we find it difficult to associate her with our idea of death, or to realize that she is gone from among us forever. Her uniform cheerfulness and kindly qualities of heart endeared her to all who knew her well, and it will be long before "Libbie Harvey" will be forgotten among us. On the last occasion of the visit of the Bishop of the Diocese to our Parish, she was confirmed as a member of Christ's Church. She took an active interest in the Sunday School of that Church, and her class followed her to the grave as mourners. Her death occurred on Monday, Nov. 23d, at the residence of her cousin, Dr. Littlejohn, of Whitewater, Wisconsin.
Col. Francis M. Botch, of Morris, Otsego county [NY], died on the 28th instant at the age of 41. He was a gentleman of superior education and accomplishments, and was greatly respected both in public and private life. He served one term in the Senate of the State, and received an appointment from Gov. Morgan in the military Bureau soon after his term expired in 1861. Both here and in the Senate he fulfilled his duties efficiently and with great accomplishment.

He was one of the first to respond to his country's call in its hour of peril, when treason and rebellion ran loose throughout the length and breadth of the land. After the first few months of service, his health began to decline. But he was one of those ever ready to perform his duty. He was wounded at the ever memorable assault on Port Hudson, but soon rejoined his regiment and continued to perform the duties assigned him until four days before his death and then it was only by the urgent request of a brother and the kind advice of his physician that he left his duty and reported at the Hospital. No man was more respected, and in his society has lost a member than can never be restored. He leaves a wife and child to mourn his loss.
How hard it is for us to part, / With those we truly love / And yet, how pleasant it is to think / That we have dear ones up above.
O may he guard his wife and child / While here on earth they stay. / And lead them on that heavenly road, / That pure and holy way.
And while his friends will mourn his death / To wish him back is vain / So let them remember that what's their loss / Is his eternal gain.

Happenings of the Times
The Completion of the Capitol Dome
Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, December 16, 1863
At noon on Wednesday, the head and cap of the Goddess of liberty were placed upon the apex which completes the statue upon the dome of the Capitol at Washington. About three thousand people had gathered in East Capitol Square to witness the crowning. As the head rose to its position, a large flag was raised about twenty feet above the statue, and as it unfolded to the breeze a battery of artillery from Camp Barry fired a salute of thirty-five guns, one for each State. The scaffolding around the statue will not be removed for two or three months, that much time being necessary to complete the base on which the statue stands.
