An Octogenarian
We had a pleasant call one day last week from Mr. Gamaliel Scribner, of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], now 82 years of age, who for the first time in his long life witnessed the operation of steam printing. It is 75 years ago last May since Mr. S. passed through this place with his parents, to seek a home in "the West." They came from Ballston, Saratoga co., and passed down the Susquehanna to Unadilla and up the Unadilla river ot New Berlin in a canoe, and there Mr. S. has resided ever since, on the same farm. Some of the apple trees, planted by the Indians, found growing there in 1790, budded and blossomed last season. Th first flour obtained by the family after they arrived at New Berlin, was from wheat taken by boat to a mill at Binghamton. There were no roads or dwellings at that time between the two places. A few families settled about the same time at Butternuts, and a Frenchman named De Ville built a mill there. The Scribners spent three or four days in cutting a road through to that mill. Mr. S. may live to see a train of cars pass near the same road, Cooperstown Journal

Killed by a Tree
Leonard Ingham, aged 59 years, while employed Thursday last in felling trees on the lands of Edwin Patterson, on Fitch Hill, about four miles above this village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], was struck and killed by a falling tree. The tree had lodged in its fall upon a smaller one, and in the efforts to trim and dislodge it, the tree struck Mr. Ingham, breaking some of his bones, causing internal injuries from which death ensured in about an hour. Mr. Patterson immediately called assistance, and removed the sufferer to the nearest house, but his injuries were too great for medical relief. The family of the deceased, desire us to express on their behalf, their thanks to their neighbors and friends, for their thoughtful kindness and sympathy in their sudden affliction.
