Aware of his approaching end, he was ready to go, and when friends were weeping around him, he was happy in the thought of a blissful immortality where in a short itme they could meet again freed from the cares and pains of this life, to enjoy an eternity of happiness in each others society.  Deceased was esteemed by a large circle of friends for his many good qualities of heart, and gave promise of much usefulness had he been spared to live.  Kindness of disposition, intelligence of mind, purity of intentions, parental respect, affectionate regard for friends, endeared him to all who knew him.  In his death kind parents have lost a dearly loved son, friends a genial and highly prized companion and associate.  Though dead, his example lives to draw around his memory a hope of promise made to the Christian that blooms forever, an eternity of Youth!

Found Drowned:  On Monday last the body of Benjamin Dalton of McDonough [Chenango Co., NY] was found in the Genegantslet creek in that place about a mile form the Daniel's Cheese Factory, by a Mr. nightingale.  He at once gave the alarm. The body was secured and Coroner Baily of Norwich was called to hold an inquest which was done on Friday.  The examination elicited no information except that deceased disappeared about five weeks ago, since which time he has not been seen until found as above.  How he came in the water is not known, and the jury rendered their verdict accordingly.  Deceased had been for several years more or less insane and had got the impression that his family and friends were endeavoring to kill him by poison or by other means.  It is supposed that this and other troubles so worked upon him as to drive him to commit suicide.  Mr. Dalton was a hard working, respectable man, who was well thought of by those who knew him best.  The body had been so long in the water as to be entirely unrecognizable except from  the clothes he had on.
