Our hearts are too full of grief to express the love we bore the deceased. To say she was a true Christian, a devoted and faithful wife and friend, an exemplary daughter, and loving sister, would convey no idea of her merits. There is no idle meaning in the words when we say, to no one would the following lines more fully apply than to our dear friend, M.E.B.: "None knew her but to love, / None named her but to praise."
In South New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], March 1st, 1867, Mr. Alva Babcock, aged 63 years. He was long a resident of New Berlin, and has left very many friends who mourn his loss. His true manliness of character, the confidence he inspired in the hearts of all he met, his unswerving fidelity to his friend, endeared him to all. He died in the full hope of a blessed immortality in the life to come, and of a reuniting with loved ones gone before. Thus, in one day we have lain away two dearly beloved, but ever in our hearts will theirs be the most precious of memories.
A little son of Mr. Gregory, aged about 6 years, came to his death a few days since in a rather strange manner. The little fellow, in some way bruised his toe, from the effects of which lockjaw set in, and after a few days of suffering, death came to his relief. New Berlin Pioneer.

Fatal Casualty
A melancholy affair occurred at the residence of Mr. Noyes Bosworth, about one mile north of East Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], on Tuesday evening of last week, about 10 o'clock, which resulted in the death of Miss Ellen R. Bosworth, aged 17 years, cousin to Mr. B., and daughter of the late Allen Bosworth. Miss Bosworth was well known in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] having resided here for some time past, and at the time of her death was visiting her friends.
The particulars of this sad affair, as we learn from Mr. N.B. Watkins, of this place, who attended the funeral as undertaker, are as follows: Mr. Bosworth was engaged in cleansing a bottle of galvanizing solution, which had been standing some ten years, and was a preparation used by him at that time in preparing plates for daguerreotypes. He poured the contents of the bottle into a tumbler, wishing to see what amount of silver might be deposited in the glass by morning. While so engaged, Miss B. and the wife of Mr. B., who were in an adjoining room, requested him to go to the cellar and bring them some domestic wine. He placed the tumbler on a shelf in the kitchen, where other glasses were standing, and went for the wine, while Miss B. proceeded to the kitchen, without a light, for a glass from which to drink. Unfortunately, the fatal glass just left there by Mr. B. was the first she touched, and controlled by some unaccountable impulse, she drank from it. She instantly inquired of Mrs. B. what she had in that glass, that tasted so singular. Mr. B. hearing the inquiry, while in the cellar, though of the acids he had left, but the idea did not come to him that the draught would be fatal. She complained of a sickening sensation in the stomach, and was advised to attempt to relieve herself by vomiting. Failing in this, she remarked that "It had gone all over her." These were her last words. Seating herself by a table, she rested her head upon it, and in a few moments fell to the floor. Efforts were made to restore her to consciousness, but were unsuccessful and Mr. B. hastened for the nearest physician, who arrived when all was over, the unfortunate girl living but about fifteen minutes after swallowing the poison. Mr. B. tasted from the glass to satisfy himself as to its contents and so powerful were its effects upon him, that it was fortunate a physician was present to administer the proper antidotes. The funeral of the deceased was largely attended on Thursday, at East Pharsalia.
We give the above particulars that our readers may judge for themselves as to the extent of blame to attach to the parties. It is a very sad affair, and one which no one can deplore more sincerely than does Mr. Bosworth.
